\u201cSo they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord, and His heart became impatient over the misery of Israel\u201d <\/em>Judg.10:16 [AMP]<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Third Implication<\/strong>: Jesus is my Saviour means God rushes in to save me. God actually rushes to save you. He rushes to deliver you. He rushes to free you. Does He really? Yes He does. \u201cThere was a man there whose arms and legs were swollen. \u00a0<\/sup>Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in religious law, \u201cIs it permitted in the law to heal people on the Sabbath day, or not?\u201d When they refused to answer, Jesus touched the sick man and healed him and sent him away. Then he turned to them and said, \u201cWhich of you doesn\u2019t work on the Sabbath? If your son or your cow falls into a pit, don\u2019t you rush<\/span><\/strong> to get him out?\u201d<\/em> Luke14:2-5<\/a> [emphasis added]. If you have a child and that child falls into a ditch, would you consider the fact that he did not clean his room yesterday or he disobeyed you, before you rush to rescue him? I hope not. The first instinct as a parent is to save your child. Jesus is saying if you can rush to save your own child, how much more your heavenly Father? You have asked for something; don\u2019t you know that God is rushing behind the scene to make it happen? God is rushing? Yes! But it has been five years. Yes! The truth is that there are things that we don\u2019t know God is doing on our behalf; but He is doing them. Even though we don\u2019t know, God is doing them anyway.<\/p>\n

Fourth Implication<\/strong>: Jesus is my Savior it means God loves me. God actually loves me. \u201cI don\u2019t have to know all the answers. I just have to know the God that has all the answers and that He loves me!\u201d \u2013 Rick Warren. Things that you didn\u2019t foresee may happen to you; even though you don\u2019t have all the answers, you can rest in this – your God has all the answers and He loves you. Since God has all the answers and He loves me, then I can go to sleep! A lot of us can relate to God\u2019s unconditional love because we know God needs to put up with a lot of things to love us unconditionally, right? I can understand that- but what I struggled with and which I don\u2019t struggle with anymore is: God actually likes me. God doesn\u2019t only love me with Agape, God actually loves me with Phileo. That was tough for me to understand and accept because, how can God like me – me? If you will, you can shut your eyes and just say, God actually likes me. Take a moment to let that sink in. God actually likes me because I know that not everybody likes me; not everybody likes you too. If you think everybody likes you, then you are in a fool\u2019s paradise. And to think that God will like you and God will like me, it\u2019s almost unbelievable. It is so comforting!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prayer<\/strong>: Father, I am grateful; I am grateful for Your unconditional love and I am overwhelmed by the fact that You actually like me. Thank You Lord, in Jesus Name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
