When We Fail, God Stands by Us...

Failure--ours and others'--- can be difficult to accept. When we fail, we are often disappointed with ourselves. How could we be so weak, so inept, so foolish? We may even assume that God feels the same way about us. But his Word reveals a different response: No matter how we may mess up, God continues to love us and longs us to help us get back on our feet. What a relief? God doesn't turn away from us when we fail; he rushes to our aid and encourages us to try again. His mercy eases our pain, and his forgiveness offers a new start.



OUR STEPS ARE MADE FIRM BY THE LORD,
WHEN HE DELIGHTS IN OUR WAY;
THOUGH WE STUMBLE, WE SHALL NOT
FALL HEADLONG, FOR THE
LORD HOLDS US BY THE HAND.

Head Over Heels In Love

Jesus answered: love the Lord your God with all your heart,soul and mind. This is the first and most important commandments.MATTHEW 22:37-38 CEV


You love God because of his infinite goodness in your life. You love God because he is your Father and you are his child. You love Him because he created you and has meaningful plan for your life. You love God because he first loved you.

Legend has it that wealthy merchant heard a great deal about Paul. The merchant went to Rome to visit Paul in prison. Timothy arranged it, and the man spent several hours with Paul. Outside the cell, as he was leaving,the man asked Timothy, "What's the secret of this man's power?" Timothy smiled and said, "Paul's in love.'

when you know how you mean to God, you fall head over heels in love with God.

No eye has seen,nor ear heard,
nor the human heart conceived
What God has prepared for those
who love him. CORINTHIANS 2:9 NRSV
