How (MUCH) Do I Love Thee

This week after bible study on how we handle grief, I went on a rabbit hole review of the book of Isaiah. Chapter 43 reminds us of how God grieves when we don’t listen to Him when He reminds us, through all 66 books, how very much he loves us and created all of us for Himself – because he wants us always near Him.

In Steven Scott’s book, Jesus Speaks, we are reminded how much harder it is for us to believe in this relationship versus the disciples believing. They were there. They heard him, touched him, they saw his miracles first hand. We have to believe with out seeing.

We believe because we have faith in what the prophets and disciples have told us through the words they wrote thousands of years ago. Faith, Hope and Love are all tied together throughout all 66 books of the bible. Are these book hard to understand, sometimes, but sometimes God allows us to see with unseen eyes and hear with unheard ears the precious words of his unimaginable love that he shares with us, just for the asking. If you care to read further in this post, I wrote a quick Non-poetry on Faith. It will be the first writing of my new book entitle Faith. My current book called Hope was so poorly edited, that I can’t leave my encouragement writing with that. So, we are are going again with professional editors so that the readers experience encouragement better. And after Faith, we will have to close off the series with Love.

UNSEEN ENTITY

How is it that a creature can put its trust of life into an unseen entity?

To allow its values and the things it loves to be driven by the ideals of this unseen entity.

Integrity is a component the creature uses to measure the ideals and values of this unseen entity.

Affirmation of the unseen entity’s integrity proves the love that is always given by the unseen entity.

Final trust and hope are driving forces given to the unseen entity by the creature in the form of faith.

Trust in the Lord with all of your heart. (Prov 3:5)

 Trust helps my heart jump for joy, with song I praise him. (Psa 28:7)

Hope doesn’t disappoint for God poured love into our hearts. (Rom 5:5)
