HOLY   GOD --- NOT   A   DISTANT   DEITY!!!!!!!

Deity - God.


Oh Holy God - You're not a distant deity,  You are Holy God Who by your Sprit lives  IN ME. (I Cor 3:16).


Though everywhere present You're never far from me.....You're not just He was, or He will be---You are the  I AM   Who is always  WITH ME. (Psalms 139:7-19/Matthew 28:20)
And my life is "Hidden with Jesus Christ  IN THEE". (Colossians 3:3)

You know our thoughts before we think, You know our words before we speak.  In Your holy love, you're with us and for us from conception through birth, throughout life, and THROUGH death!!!!!!!

If we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord and Shepherd  ---  then death is  only  a door (John 10:7) which Jesus opens for us to the Holy eternal Majestic Presence of God!!!  There, pain, tears, death,  EVEN DARKNESS  -  are no more!!!(Revelation 21:2)

Jesus opens the door to the NEW JESUSALEM----where the LAMB is the Light!!! (Revelation 21:23).   THIS IS WHAT WE WERE   TRULY  MADE FOR!!!!!!!!

until that Day, I must remember ---  I am still only God's little boy, 
with child-like faith, and child-like wonder, with child-like belief that Jesus Himself is my Peace and joy (Ephesians 2:14/Psalm 23:4).

Jesus also is my Strength and my song (Isaiah 12:2).
In Jesus I both rejoice and rest.
JESUS is all I will ever need.
Jesus is more than I could ever dream or want. (Ephesians 3:20)

JESUS,  
Jesus only.
Jesus HIMSELF.
 

ABBA   FATHER'S   LAP!!!

"There is no fear in love; but perfect

love casts out fear, and we have known
and believed the love that God has for us."
(I John 4:16-18)

"But God, who is rich in mercy, because of
His great love with which He loved us..."
(Ephesians 2:4)

"And God is able to make all grace
abound toward you...  (II Corinthians 9:8)

"For God so loved the WORLD that He
gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but
have everlasting live."  (John3:16)

"O Lord....You know my sitting down
and my rising up; You understand my
thoughts afar off."  (Psalm 139:2)

"And in Your book they all were written
the days fashioned for me." (Psalm 139:16)

"For you did not receive the spirit of bondage
again to fear, but you received the Spirit of Adoption
by whom we cry our, 'Abba Father'.

"The Spirit Himself bears witness
with our spirits that we are children of God."
(Romans 8:15-16)


DOES GOD HAVE A LAP?

He certainly has a BIG Holy-loving heart filled with
HIs Holy love---Perfect love (I John 4:18),
rich in mercy (Ephesians 2:4), abounding in grace
(II Corinthians 9:8)--- Enough to love  BILLIONS
of people (John 3:16) with His love so intimate
that He knows our thoughts before we think them,
having written our every day down  BEFORE we
were born!!! (Psalm 139:16)

His heart is SO BIG --- I believe that he  DOES  have
a "lap".  Because He has given us a "Spirit of Adoption"
by which we call Him "Abba Father"; and He has
made His Son JESUS the only way to the Father -

"Jesus said...'I am the way...no man comes to the
Father except through Me' ". (John 14:6)

So we are  WELCOME to crawl up into His lap
frequently, and  REST  in  WHO HE IS --- and all that
He wants to be  FOR US. And  THROUGH us;
to "Cast on Him all our cares and fears" (I Peter 5:7)


Let's go there  FREQUENTLY - Tell Him  "THANK YOU"!!!,
Tell Him   "I LOVE YOU", And   BLESS HIM and receive
HIS LOVE!!!!!
