Who is God? All hail the power (part 3)

Because His Father was all-knowing and all wisdom emanates from Him, Jesus bore our sins and healed us and brought us into the fold. ( 1Peter 2:24-25) We who were astray were brought together by Jesus. (Psalm 95:10) Because Jesus was also all-knowing, He knew that nothing He would say would convince His captors to not kill Him and that silence would say millions and work on people's hearts. (Mark 14:61; 1Peter2:23) He knew that according to prophecy He was to be mocked and slain. (Matt27:31; John 1:29)

Who is God? All hail the power...(part 2)

And God delights in me, as in Song of Solomon 7:6. He loves me, so much so that He covets my time. He loves me as the lover in Song of Solomon 8:6 who pleaded with His loved one to place a seal over her heart. God wants me to seal my heart with His Spirit. And then He tells me I can conquer death. He tells me that love is so powerful not even a mighty flood can destroy it. (Song of Solomon 8:7)

God's love for me is so great, so powerful and yet He wants to open about just how much in love with me He is. He knew me when I was a youth, young and idealistic and willing to follow Him to the ends of the earth. (Jeremiah 2:2) And He yearns for me to return to that, to have that image in my mind of following Him through any kind of disastrous events.
