...continuation from the last blog entry which is a presentation to CCA students...we are on this journey together....Oh! Got a Good Word this morning...
[ Simple Faith and Plain Truth ] The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God wants us to live.
1 Timothy 2:1-2 MSG
Worry about nothing...pray about EVrything...Amen?
Ok lets continue on . Every body here? Armour on? Shield up? Shoes...tied on good and tight?
Lets Roll!
“God is love” ...
God is Light; and God is Love. John puts the literal and the figurative in the same letter. God is Love — that’s literal. God is Light — that’s figurative. And both mean the same thing. One is a metaphor of the other.
When we see the word “light” in the Bible, and it is not talking specifically about natural light, we can conclude that it is a figurative reference to the Love of God.
So, on Day One when God in the beginning said, “Let there be light!” – He was saying, “Let there be a revelation of My love!”
And there was.
This means that everything that has happened from Day One forward — even unto this present hour — has as its singular purpose the revealing of God’s love to us one way or another!

(I love a biblical words "Every Jot and every Tittle" found in Matthew 5...but thats for another study.) ;)
“Let there be light!”
These four words sum up the entire Bible. Everything that follows this opening declaration by God serves the purpose of fulfilling it. God talks...It happens...
His will is that we see a revelation of His love in everything He has made, in everything He says, and in everything He does. His purpose in all of this is that we come to know Him by being loved by Him, love Him in return, and share His love with others all around us.
The Garden in which our First Parents were placed was a revelation of God’s love for them. The bounty of His blessings and the nearness of His presence provided lavish proof of His love.
And when they yielded to the subtle temptation to “be as God” by the one being that fell for it all the way letting pride separate him from God starting his mission get in the way of these new creations by tempting them to eat the forbidden fruit – even then, though banished from Paradise, nevertheless God revealed His love by covering them with the skin of an innocent animal, slain on their behalf.
Moreover, He also provided them with protection and natural blessings in abundance as they ventured into a thorn-infested wilderness. Cursed, and yet offered mercy. Expelled, and yet provided protection. Sisters and brothers, now that’s Love.
But there’s more...tbc
