Whoever believes in Him!

For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only son, 
that whoever believes in him
shall not perish
but have eternal life.
John 3:16

The Lord's great love..

Today, in my daily bible reading:
Lamentations 3:22-24

22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”

The prophet Jeremiah walked through the streets and alleys of Jerusalem after its destruction by the Babylonian soldiers and saw nothing but pain and suffering. This happened in late 586 BC or early 585 BC. In this book, he expresses his grief over the fall of Jerusalem because of her sin and reminds the readers that “sin, in spite of all its allurement and excitement, carries with it heavy weights of sorrow, grief, misery, barrenness, and pain.” 

In the midst of all the suffering, Jeremiah reminds us to put our hope and trust in the Lord who loves us faithfully as we are his beloved children. 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
Have a blessed day in Jesus-Christ.

You should have been a boy!

Because Ruth was not a boy, her parents treated her cruelly. At age five, she was forced to work in their fields. She was never given much food to eat, and her parents rarely bought her clothes. See how God's hand was on Ruth's life and how He used her to impact so many other women in South Asia for eternity.
