It seems that the Word of God is telling us clearly that God is encouraging us all to live in joy and in the full delight of what He is focused on....
Many are relying on somebody else for the hope they have been longing for, which is in itself as foolish as building ‘houses of cards’ that can and will very easily collapse with devastating loss in the not too distant future! The Lord Jesus is our only hope!...

And so, here we are on the threshold of a brand New Year. What will 2025 bring to us? We can be certain of this one thing - no matter what will happen, whether or not we are to pass through periods of suffering and trials, there will always be a cause to rejoice....
Was there ever a gift more precious than the indescribable One God gave to the likes of you and me? How unworthy we are to receive such a Gift. If God was waiting for us to be worthy of such a Gift we all would miss out forever!...
I thought how extravagant God is, almost to the point where we would consider Him being wasteful, for the want of a better expression. How good is He to bless all of us so abundantly, even though we don't realise it or even appreciate His lavish giving most of the time....
We are intimately acquainted with the God Who knows and cares about us as a loving father would do, but infinitely greater. If you should find yourself facing ‘the trial of your life’, please be encouraged that He who promised to be with His people always will not forsake you now!...

The Lord Jesus is the sweet resting place for all of His believing people, because He is the One with Whom we can be perfectly at home with. He is the believer’s refuge and liberty, and so much more....

God desires people like you and me to live in the good of knowing Him personally! God desires for us to be filled with His fulness in and through His Son Jesus....
Right in the centre of the past and anticipated future Jesus, the Son of God was suffering and dying for our sins. Oh, what a burden He bore! How could we ever fathom such tremendous love and mercy?...
"O how sweet it is to call Him mine!" says the hymn writer. The desire of God's heart is that you might personally appreciate the fact that 'I am His, and He is mine... forever'. Oh, that you knew my beloved like I know Him, then your heart would rejoice and be at perfect peace and rest. 🧡...
