I am the Lord Your God

    And God is so wonderful and ever replenishing, ever nurturing as in Song of Solomon 7:2. He amazes me that He would be so full and overflowing and yet never empties and is there for all of us to drink and eat and be nourished. He is awesome. He is also not one to allow enemies to be successful or to remain if they are unrepentant. (Ezekiel 23:22) God is awesome! He wants us to be in peace yet He is still willing to protect us and remove those divisive forces and rebellious people. He also wants His children to rebuke those who would say they are His and yet still worship any idols and live licentious lives. (Hos 2:2) And because He loves us He is willing to spank us when we have chosen to follow our idols and will do so in a powerful and terrible way. (Hos 2:10) More than that, He loves us so much He bought us at a great price and even told us He was buying us at a cost. He foretold of Jesus and His disciples who martyred themselves, giving themselves that ll should be free in Christ. (Isaiah 43:4) all because God loves us and He is King. Simply said, He loves us. (Malachi 1:2) He chose us because He loves us. As He explains in Malachi 1:2, He loved Jacob and hated Esau (not hate the way we think but more of the way Jesus uses it in Luke 14:26 in the way of choosing God over family) and again His thoughts are not our thoughts. What a great love He has for us!!!
