Sunday Mornings

  Pursue holiness, without which, no one will see the LORD. Hebrews 12:14 Dear brothers and sisters, I found it necessary to write a follow-up to a previous post on this blog ( gutsy guilt ) because like I mentioned in that particular post, in scriptures, God is portrayed as eternally just in punishing all evil, but at the same time, He is eternally loving and ready to always forgive and be merciful to us when we err. These two extremes of what I call the God spectrum can be found everywhere in the bible, for example in Exodus 34, when God was introducing himself to Moses, this is what He said: And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's children to the third and fourth generation." Exodus 34

Psalm 100 Amplified Bible (AMP) Shout joyfully to the  Lord , all the earth. 2  Serve the  Lord  with gladness and delight; Come before His presence with joyful singing. 3  Know and fully recognize with gratitude that the  Lord  Himself is God; It is He who has made us,  [ a ] not we ourselves [and we are His]. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 4  Enter His gates with a song of thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, bless and praise His name. 5  For the  Lord  is good; His mercy and lovingkindness are everlasting, His faithfulness [endures] to all generations. ·          Thank and praise God for everything in your life.  Thank Him for even the difficulties. It is a sacrifice to do this. But He can turn troubles to triumph. "Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise -- the fruit of lips that confess his name" Hebrews 13:15. ·          Don't allow yourself to complain about anything.  Duri
