The love of the Lord

-

.... just like the love of the Lord for the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans."   Hosea 3:1

Believer, look back through all our experience, and think of the way whereby the Lord our God has led us in the wilderness, and how he has fed and clothed us every day—how he has borne with our ill manners—how he has put up with all our murmurings, and all our longings after the flesh-pots of Egypt—how he has opened the rock to supply us, and fed us with manna that came down from heaven. Think of how his grace has been sufficient for us in all our troubles—how his blood has been a pardon to us in all our sins—how his rod and his staff have comforted us. When we have thus looked back upon the love of the Lord, then let faith survey his love in the future, for remember that Christ’s covenant and blood have something more in them than the past. He who has loved us and pardoned us, shall never cease to love and pardon. He is Alpha, and he shall be Omega also: he is first, and he shall be last. Therefore, bethink, when you shall pass through the valley of the shadow of death, you will fear no evil, for he is with me. [Psa.23:4]  When we shall stand in the cold floods of Jordan, we will not fear, for death cannot separate us from his love; and when we shall come into the mysteries of eternity we will not tremble, “For I am persuaded, that neither death; nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” [Rom.8:38-39]  Now, soul, is not our love refreshed? Does not this make us love Jesus? Do not a flight through illimitable plains of the ether of love inflame our hearts and compel us to delight ourself in the Lord our God? Surely as we meditate on “the love of the Lord,” our hearts burn within us, and we long to love him more.  Hallelujah, God bless

" John 10:10 New King James Version (NKJV) 10  The thief does not come except to steal,  and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life,  and that they may have  it  more abundantly."       When we talk about the abundance of blessings, most people assume that because talking about it is closely related to the problem of sheer material, but fundamentally the Lord speaks of the abundance of blessing, not only of material things, but also talk about the abundance of blessings in a perfect way.

"Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang takut kepada Tuhannya di saat mereka tidak tampak di hadapan yang lainnya, mereka akan memperoleh ampunan dan pahala yang besar. Dan rahasiakanlah perkataanmu atau lahirkanlah; sesungguhnya Dia Maha Mengetahui segala isi hati. Apakah Allah Yang menciptakan itu tidak mengetahui (yang kamu lahirkan atau rahasiakan); dan Dia Maha Halus lagi Maha Mengetahui? Dialah Yang menjadikan bumi itu mudah bagi kamu, maka berjalanlah di segala penjurunya dan makanlah sebahagian dari rezki-Nya. Dan hanya kepada-Nya-lah kamu (kembali setelah) dibangkitkan ." (QS. Al Mulk: 12-15) “Takutlah akan Allah dan muliakanlah Dia, karena telah tiba saat penghakiman-Nya, dan sembahlah Dia yang telah menjadikan langit dan bumi dan laut dan semua mata air” (Wahyu 14:7)
