For anyone to tell you that the trials and issues of this world is God judging us or correcting us harshly is a bald face lie from the pits of hell. (John 8:44) Remember that the god of this world is defeated (Genesis 3:15, Ephesians 18-23) yet for a small time allowed to continue. (Ephesians 6:10-12)
Yes our blessed hope and in Him, the assurance of His love to us. (I John 4:7-19). Love corrects (Hebrews 12:3-15–not by accidents, diseases nor illnesses-never) Love does not beat nor crush nor judge (Romans 8:1-2) but give us life, (Ephesians 3:16-21) hope (Hebrews 6:18-20, 10:19-23, 11:1) joy (Nehemiah 8:10) and peace. ( John 14:27, II Timothy 1:7) amen All of Himself, our Lord Jesus Christ amen.
Which brings me back to the declaration of God Himself : He is NOT ANGRY with us but HAS, IS and will continue to joy in us.
In Nehemiah 8:10 we see that it is the joy of the Lord, not ours to Him. (like His love-I John 4:19) His joy which transcends temporal things and is ever eternal. All for the body, soul and spirit. All encompassing His joy to us, in us for us. We may rest being assured in and of His love and peace. No anger there. amen
Now unto Him that IS ABLE to keep you
from falling and to present you faultless
before the presence of His glory with
exceeding JOY!
Jude 24
