on how God never changes, and His love never changes - the world is looking for security, but there is only one person we can hold on to, and that is Jesus.

The Lord has been exceedingly faithful and close and real to me over the few weeks; from doing my Bible study 2 saturdays ago about being filled with the Spirit and experiencing communion with the Risen Lord and from His daily assurances on how He has chosen me "I chose you" ("I chose you, you did not choose me") and how He is willing to forgive me for things that I have done in my life.
"You know I will truly forgive you".
"Yes Lord"
"then just ask - and you will be forgiven."
Only problem is that we forget. We forget about how good our Lord is, who "died for us". How infinitely good our God is and how infinitely wonderful He is. We focus only on ourselves, and how lousy we are. And how we're not good enough for God. But enough of focussing on ourselves - because it will lead to despair and misery - but focussing on God and seeing everyday How good He is and how Great and Good He is, and always is, and always will be - unto the ends of the earth - is simply so wonderful and so amazing, it comforts you, assures you, guides you, makes you HOPE, makes you have FAITH, makes you bow down and worship, and makes you really LOVE HIM [JESUS].
For I am beginning to understand what it means that "we love Him because He first loved us."

Thus says the word: "Your lovingkindness is better than life" - Amen to that.
