Equal Love
Thursday, June 21, 2012 at 7:00AM MAD21 By Pat
I have been blessed with three wonderful grandchildren (soon to be four!) and watching them grow continues to delight me every day. Each one is different than the others; one is extremely bright but can be very serious, one doesn't have a serious bone in her body, and one has so much energy and vitality it makes me tired just watching her. They look completely different, and though strangers might say one is cuter than the other, to me they are equally beautiful. Collectively so similar, separately so different, but my love for them is equal.
As God's children, we as humans are collectively very alike, and yet each of us is different and unique, with certain gifts and talents and shortcomings as well. And no matter what we're like, regardless of how we view ourselves or how others see us. God loves us equally. He delights in us in the same way we delight in our little ones, and though they compete for our attention and approval, we never need to clamor for God's. It is constant, it is fair, and it is forever. And I am grateful!
"My command is this: Love one another as I have loved you." (John 15:12)

A gift for you...The true Gospel is now delivered to you from the wilderness Rev 12:6 as a witness Matt 24:14.
Our heavenly Father will NOT put any child of his into a hell fire no matter what their sins. Sin doesn't scare God! He created it Isa 45:7 to teach us all the knowledge of good and evil Gen 3:22 for our eternal placement in his coming kingdom. Throwing a child of his into a hell fire has never entered the heart or mind of God to ever do such a thing Jer7:31, Jer 19:5. Anyone preaching a hell fire to God's children has been deceived into teaching lies. The whole world has been believing in a god of hate murder and revenge (The devil Rev 12:9). The true word of God John 1:1 is now delivered Rev 12:5 here http://thegoodtale.blogspot.com/
God chose a woman Rev 12 to be the prophet like unto Moses Num 12:3 and Elijah Matt 17:3, Acts 3:21-23, Luke 1:17. Those professing themselves to be Christians would be wise to hear all Acts 3:23 BEFORE making any judgment. The proof of what I tell you is in the hearing.
Prove ALL things 1 Thes 5:21. Satan has deceived the whole world Rev 12:9 until now.
