He will have compassion

The attributes ascribed to God, cannot even begin to describe the nature of His character. What we know as “the fruit of the Spirit” is the very essence of His nature. The bible says that “God is love” and a loving God, also shows compassion to those who are poor, whether in material things or in spirit, He will comfort you in your times of need.

He will save…

Have you ever been in a situation where you were literally drowning, while being thrown a life jacket, and thinking – is that the best you can do? I am DROWNING! – and then realising, that you have to grab onto it. Is it any different with God?

Can He force His salvation on you? Absolutely NOT! He who delivers the needy, is a loving and sincere God. He reaches out to you on many occasions and you might see how He is working over time to save you from your destructive nature, but it is (still) up to you to allow Him to pull you from the depths of the raging waters.

Take a hold of His hand, from His outstretched arm, and never let go, for He will neither leave you, nor forsake you!

The cost of freedom

The cost of freedom

“So Jesus was saying to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you abide in My word [continually obeying My teachings and living in accordance with them, then] you are truly My disciples. ³² And you will know the truth [regarding salvation], and the truth will set you free [from the penalty of sin].” (John 8 v 31-32) [AMP]
