everlasting love


"This is the blessed knowledge that every Christian must have,
a knowledge of God ~
not God as some great power,
not as some great force,
not someone who is opposed to us and hates us,
imposing these commandments on us ~
But God as Father,
God who has loved us with an everlasting love,
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

This is the God who so loves us that He counts the very hairs of our head,
the God who causes the sun to rise upon the world,
this amazing Father God.

His commandments are all destined for our good,
to be a blessing to us,
and because He wants us to be conformed to the image
of His own dear Son."

Martyn Lloyd Jones
Life in Christ

Reading about God tonight before I go to bed.
