Biblical Love Is Not Emotions Or Feelings,

True Joy Comes Only From God And He Shares This Joy With Those Who Walk In Fellowship With Him.

God In His Love Always Wills What Is Best For Us. In His Wisdom He Always Knows What Is Best, And In His Sovereignty He Has The Power To Bring It About.

In Order To Trust God, We Must Always View Our Adverse Circumstances Through The Eyes Of Faith, Not Of Sense. And Just As The Faith Of Salvation Comes Through Hearing The Message Of The Gospel (romans 10:17), So The Faith To Trust God In Adversity Comes Through The Word Of God Alone. It Is Only In The Scriptures That We Find An Adequate View Of God's Relationship To And Involvement In Our Painful Circumstances. It Is Only From The Scriptures, Applied To Our Hearts By The Holy Spirit, That We Receive The Grace To Trust God In Adversity.

May We Be As Severe With Ourselves Over Our Own Subtle Sins As We Are With The Vile Sins We Condemn In Others

God's Guidance Is Almost Always Step-by-step; He Does Not Show Us Our Life's Plan All At Once. Sometimes Our Anxiousness To Know The Will Of God Comes From A Desire To Peer Over God's Shoulder To See What His Plan Is. What We Need To Do Is Learn To Trust Him To Guide Us.
