GOD GAVE US FREEDOM. Much of the world’s evil comes from human choices and not God’s cruelty. He created us to be free so we could choose love … but … freedom can be abused!
GOD USES PAIN AND SUFFERING TO SHAPE US. Pain is not good, but God can use it for good. Trials deepen our faith and draw us closer to Him [James 1:2-4].
GOD ENTERED OUR SUFFERING. At the cross, Jesus took on the worst evil, betrayal, injustice, torture, and death … on the worst day in history to bring us to the greatest good: salvation!!! God allows suffering, and He joins us in it!!!
This is a BEAUTIFUL PICTURE of GOD’S REDEMPTIVE LOVE AND GRACE! This portion of scripture CONNECTS RUTH’S AMAZING STORY to KING DAVID’S ANCESTRY …...
Do you see how EVERYTHING CHANGES??? YOU ARE NOW THE TEMPLE of the EVER-LIVING HOLY GOD. Let that sink in!!! The PRESENCE OF GOD...
When WE SHOW UP, God’s LOVE IS SEEN … and people are reassured that GOD SEES THEM and LOVES THEM. They are NOT FORGOTTEN!...
