“’And I [God] will bless those who bless you and the one who curses you, I will curse, and in you ALL the families of the earth shall be blessed.’” Genesis 12:3
"Come near to Me, listen to this: From the first I have not spoken in secret. From the time it took place, I was there. And now the Lord God has sent Me and His Spirit. -- I am the Lord your God, who TEACHES you to profit, Who LEADS you in the way you should go. If only you had paid attention to My commandments! Then your well-being would have been like a river and your righteousness like the waves of the sea. Your descendants would have been like the sand, and your offspring like its grains; their name would never be cut off from My presence.’” Isaiah 38:17-19
“’O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling. Behold your house is being left to you desolate! For I say to you, from now on you shall not see Me until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’” Matthew 23:37-39
“Richard looked up suddenly and said in a fierce voice, ‘God doesn’t know what the HELL He’s doing with this world!’ What IS the human experiment all about? What does He want from us, after all, and what CAN we expect from Him?’” * This weekend, take some time to imagine how God must feel about this world today.
