James 1:12-20 (NIV)__________________________________________________________
12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
13 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
16 Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. 17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
19 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.
I can be forever comforted and encouraged by Your love and through Your love. Your love is everlasting, unchanging, unfailing.
When I was not born, You love me and send Your Son to die for me.
When I was lost, You love me and found me.
When I am tired, You love me and give me rest.
When I am burdened, You love me and carried my worries.
When I am tempted, You love me and shield me from the evil one.
When I fall, You love me and pick me up.
When I am lonely, You love me and assured You’re there for me.
When I am unlovable, You love me.
In Your love Father, I find peace and joy, kindness and gentleness. I experience your mercy and grace, and all my iniquity is filled by Your love.
Indeed O Lord, how can I love without loving You? Through loving You, I can finally understand what true love is. And it is this kind of everlasting sweetness love that I want to be bathed in.
I'm thankful to be found by You, my loving King, Father, God.
