“Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.” Psalm 5:12

The world is full of wonders, so many that we will never discover them all. The world is a very amazing and varied place. How could anyone think that it just evolved from nothing? People know that there is someone bigger and greater than themselves. They may not want to think about it. Someone that might control them and make them do things against their wishes. We all want a great life. We think we know what will make us happy. But by not investigating the possibilities you are missing out on some pretty amazing and wonderful things. The God of this universe is a very loving God and he wants what is best for each of us. We are his children and as a father he wants to bless and protect his children. I don’t know this just because I’ve read his words. But there is proof all around if you know what you’re looking for. We are all sinners, nobody is perfect, but God. We don’t deserve his love but he still loves us. Because he created love. There is evil in this world and it’s always lurking around. I, on the other hand, want this advantage he’s offering. He offers so many gifts and perks for coming to him for forgiveness and living for him. Jesus, his son, came to earth to show us how to live and have an abundant life. He willingly died so you could live forever with him. But you have to believe he died for you too, even if you have done some things that you think he could never forgive. There is nothing he won’t forgive. And when he does he forgets them never to bring them up, period. Then he gives the first of many gifts, the Holy Spirit. He will teach you, guide you, comfort you, and strengthen you for everything you need to do. He gives you grace and mercy enough for every day. He shows favor to you and all the great things he has for you and when you mess up, and you will, he forgives you all over again. The more you get to know him, he gives fruit to help you grow more like himself. Love, joy, peace, patience, endurance, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, and self -control. His joy is not like anything you have ever known. You can have joy when things are rough and problems come because you know that he is always in control and always wants your best. You really want to look into this further because you don’t have forever and you don’t want to wait too long because his offer is no good once you die. You never know when that might be. You do not want to miss all he has for you either.
