"He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8)

I'm starting to enjoy spring again. I'm still having my allergies but it's no where near as bad as before. I have ten more books of the Bible to read, and I would have read through the whole thing! I'm really excited. So this morning I was in 1 Peter 1:1-9 and I just thought I would share my thoughts on it. We use the term love so freely these days that when you hear someone say "God loves you", I don't think we get the whole message. We kinda say "I know", and think of what Christ did on the cross. Not that His death and resurection wasn't screaming out to the world "I love you." But what about after that? For those who come to Christ, the Lord's given us an inheritance that's incoruptable, imperishable, and undifiled that doesn't fade away at all. And He's keeping it for us in heaven. We should rejoice about this with inexspressible joy and full of glory to the Lord. Times may get tough, and we may want to grieve over some hard issues in our lives. But in the end, our faith will be more precious than gold. It will be and is genuine. I should never forget about how deep and how wide and beyond measure, God's love is towards me.
