Knowing God's Will For Us, Our Rightful Place, And Giving Thanks To Him

In all things we should give thanks to God for it is His will for us in Christ, we should appreciate Him for
what he has done for us; our life, the whole of it and everything attached to it is made is made and given
by Him.

His mercy is ever sufficient, His grace is ever present, His love made us and when we went astray He
sent His only begotten son to die in our place, so that He could reconcile us back to Him. He bore our
transgressions, took upon Himself our inequities, the chastisement of our sin was on Him, and by His
stripes, gotten from getting beaten, we are healed.

He left His glory, His place, all of it, to come suffer for us, to what end? It was simply for His love for us,
He couldn’t bear to see our suffering, and do nothing, even though it was our fault that we got ourselves
where we got ourselves to. He didn’t mind the shame and embarrassment, all He wanted was to save
us, to redeem us, and all He asked in return is that we acknowledge Him, reciprocate the love He has
for us by telling those who yet do not know what is in store for them and what has been done for them,
that they can also partake of His eternal, and all encompassing love.

He wants us to look up to Him for anything and everything, not to trust in our own strength which is
fleeting, which will fail us, because we are weak, fragile, and with too many flaws. He wants us to be
complete, perfect, but only in Him can we find perfection and completion. His desire is to see us happy,
joyous, and rejoicing.

He wants us to be is happy and full of His love. He wants us to be is with Him. Anything and everything
that happens to us while we are in, and with Him, is for our own good, growth (in every area),
betterment, and the prosperity of our souls.

No matter what atrocity or crime we have committed, He is willing to look past it, He wants to make
us better people, His sons and daughters, heirs to Him, and His unimaginable riches. People who will
reconcile others who are ignorant of their rightful place, even by His presence, love and glory that will
emanate from within us unto those around us.

Money, riches, gold & silver are the least things He is capable of doing for us. He has proven that
in many different ways. We have life, we can see, walk, think, act….many other things. We should
appreciate Him, give ourselves to Him unconditionally, and He will make of us what no man will ever be
able to comprehend, people that every generation will look up to and want to be like. Guiding lights to
the younger generation, and the joy of our generation, the apple in God’s eyes.
