How God's Love Saves Life

Dear Reader,

Today I will share with you three absolutes and characteristics that establish and demonstrate the qualities of a Man that I know personally, who loves you more than anyone on earth. Yes, even your Parents!

1. He has prayed for you. Prayer is a powerful tool the children of God posses. It provides an open or two way communication that allows hearing God, as well as, talking to God. We all experience, first hand, the trials and tribulations of life. However, Jesus comforts us by advising in Luke 22:31-32 NLT: Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail." Biblehub As long as we remain strong in faith and trust God, he can conquer all adversities.

2. He forgives you in spite of the all the lies, cheating, and foul language you speak in or out of his presence. In The New Testament, we find that while Jesus was hanging from the cross with nails hammered into his hands and feet, blood pouring from open wounds, and the sarcastic mocking from his enemies; he prayed on their behalf asking God for their forgiveness. "Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." And the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice." (Luke 23:34 NLT) BibleHub Dr. Timothy J. Woods, Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church, explained in a Sermon titled: Forgiveness: "Jesus accepted a punishment he did not deserve for sins he did not commit." A perfect summary of his sacrifice.

3. He gave his life on a cross so that we can have eternal life. I am sure the previous points peaked curiosity. Therefore, I will state my purpose in writing to you. And that is to share with you how to receive eternal life. Romans 10:8-11 explains: "In fact, it says, “The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” BibleHub Simple! Now you know, and, you too can receive salvation. Jesus is loving, forgiving, a provider, and a protector. He cares for you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
