HIS MERCY cost HIM HIS ONLY SON!!!!!!!!!
"To whom has the Arm (HIS Perfect Love, Grace, Mercy, Healing, Saving) of the LORD been revealed?" To You, and me---Each and All!!!!! (Isaiah 53:1).
HE (JESUS) had no Stately Form, no Royal Kingly Splendor, no beauty, no appearance that we should desire HIM. HE was A MAN of sorrows and acquainted with grief and sickness; and like ONE from whom men hid their faces.. HE was despised, and rejected, and forsaken by men, and we did not appreciate HIS Worth or have any Esteem for HIM."
"Surely HE has carried our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried Our sorrows and pains of punishment...But HE was wounded for Our transgressions, HE was Crushed for Our guilt and iniquities, the punishment (Necessary) for Our peace and well-being was put on HIM, and with the stripes (that wounded HIM) we are healed and made whole."
"All we (me and You) like sheep - have gone astray. every one of Us we have turned to our own way; and GOD has made to fall on HIM (JESUS) the guilt and iniquity of Us All." (Isaiah 53:1-6/Amplified Bible).
"Blessed be the GOD and FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, the FATHER of Mercies, the GOD WHO is the Source of every Comfort (Consolation and Encouragement). HE WHO consoles and encourages us in every difficulty...So that we may console and encourage others in their difficulties, (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
OUR HEAVENLY FATHER says to us:
1) I love you as if you were the ONLY child I will ever have. (I gave MY ONLY SON to save you). (John 3:16).
2) "I will have mercy on you...". (Hosea 2:23).
3) "My rod and staff will Comfort you. (Psalm 23:4).
4) "For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but MY kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall MY covenant of peace bs removed, says the LORD, WHO has Mercy on you. (Isaiah 54:10).
5) I will hold you. (Isaiah 41:13).
6) "The Eternal GOD is your refuge...and underneath are (MY) everlasting/ever present arms." (Deuteronomy33:27).
7) "In the day when I cried out, YOU answered me..." (Psalm 138:3).
8) "I will extend peace to you like a river...you will (like a child) be bounced on MY knees... as one whom his Mother comforts, so I will comfort you." (Isaiah 66:12-13). (New King James Version Bible).
JESUS was despised, rejected, forsaken, oppressed, crushed, afflicted,and punished for You and me. (Isaiah 53:1-6/Amplified Bible).
JESUS ("The TRUTH"/John 14:6)---HIS promises to you and me - each and all of us: 1) "We are Chosen, Adopted, and accepted in HIM..." (Ephesians 1:1-6). 2) HE declares in HIS WORD: I will not leave you nor forsake you." (Isaiah 41:17/Isaiah 42:16). 3) "I AM with you always." (Matthew 28:20). 4) JESUS is "... the YES and AMEN to every promise of GOD". (2 Corinthians 1:20).
"Be still and know that I AM GOD..." (Psalm 46:10). DEFINITION: "know" - to be acquainted with/to Experience HIM."
The most effective way that I have experienced is: 1)Sit still in a quiet place; (2) "Bring your thoughts captive to the Obedience of JESUS" (2 Corinthians 10:5); (3) Close your eyes; (4) Ignore the time; 5) Focus on GOD.
Please do NOT try this ONLY one (1) time. Do this
several times in the 30 days. HE is waiting for YOU with HIS Warm, Open Heart of HIS Perfect Love..."and underneath are HIS everlasting/ever present arms..." (Deuteronomy 33:27).
Because JESUS paid it All for us... Lets end this with a BLESSING:
"And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying...This is the Way you shall bless (MY people): Say to them: "The LORD Bless you and keep you; fhe LORD make HIS Face shine upon you, and be gracious to you, the LORD look upon you with favor, and give you peace."
"So they shall put MY NAME on them, and I will Bless them. (Numbers 6:22-27).
AMEN---YES, let it BE SO!!!!!!!!
