“Best Way”

 Lamentations 3:31-33

For the LORD does not abandon anyone forever.  Though He brings grief,

He also shows compassion according to the greatness of His unfailing love. 

For He does not enjoy hurting people or causing them sorrow.  (NLT)

     Our God is first and foremost, a Holy God.  One that is perfect in every way.  He is never unjust nor is He ever unfair.  He never leads anyone into anything that is less than righteous.  But there are times when the Lord disciplines His children for their wrongs, but He does this because He is our loving, eternal Father who wants to transform our sinful lives into righteous lives. He disciplines, we learn. And it is from these invaluable lessons and righteous truths, that awakens our souls and we are saved from the eternal condemnation that is justly due for our vile conduct against our Holy God.

     Many people, like myself, spent much of our lives believing that God is a mean, angry, and unjust old coot that sits on His throne in Heaven watching all the chaotic messes we create for ourselves, laughing at our stupidity, and looking forward to punishing us for not obeying His ridged, fun killing rules that are impossible to keep.  But many of these same people, much like I did, learn the truth about a different kind of God after we surrendered our struggling lives to the Lord in search of truth and peace.  We learn that our God really loves all people unconditionally and deeply, because He left the glory of Heaven to become a mere human being so He could die our death.  Once you begin to understand the true nature of God and why He saved us, the fog is lifted and you will see more clearly who God is, who you are, and why this world hates Him. 

                                      A Whisper of Hope

My Way is best, dear child...all others are in vain.  The world's ways will lead you away from the Truth and into the darkness.  I came to you from the glory of Heaven, to do what you could not do for yourself.  Trust in the Best Way and you will live forever!

Revelation 15:3, 4

Great and marvelous are Your actions, Lord God Almighty.  Just

and true are Your ways, O King of the nations.  Who will not fear,

O Lord, and glorify Your Name.  For You alone are Holy.  (NLT)

        We have been made right in God's sight 

                by the blood of Christ.

                         (Romans 5:9)
