Showers of Blessings\u00a0 Day 19
\nBlessing: \u00a0God\u2019s Steadfast Love<\/u>
\nFor as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; Psalm\u00a0103:11 ESV<\/em><\/p>\n

Message:<\/span>
\n<\/u>I remember, even though it\u2019s been years ago now, when I first heard and really began to understand the meaning of the words in John 3:16.
\n\u201cGod so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\u201d<\/em>
\nI was amazed that God would love that much that He would give His only Son!\u00a0 I had a young daughter at that time and I just couldn\u2019t imagine giving her up for the world, but God loved a world full of sinners so much that He gave His only Son.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t imagine that kind of love, a sacrificial love, an un-conditional love, a merciful love, a love that only God could give.\u00a0 I wanted that kind of love in my life and so, I believed and received Jesus, God\u2019s only Son, and I did receive that love, everlasting life and so, so much more!\u00a0 \u00a0God\u2019s love is amazing!\u00a0 How blessed are those who believe and receive it through Jesus Christ, God\u2019s only Son, Who gave Himself to die on a cross for our sins.
\n
\n<\/u>God\u2019s steadfast love, His lovingkindness, is as high as the heavens towards us who fear Him!
\nIt is an infinite, un-ending, great, un-imaginable love towards those who fear Him.\u00a0 The word for steadfast love is very similar to yesterday\u2019s word for mercy.\u00a0 So once again we see how blessed we are as we fear the Lord and walk in His ways.<\/p>\n
