DO YOU KNOW WHAT GOD IS REALLY LIKE?
The very first thing God did after creating man and woman was to bless them (Genesis 1:28). You can also read Genesis 17:16 and 49:25 which are only a couple of so many Scriptures of how He wants to bless us.
But God was not satisfied in only blessing us. He also says:
I will love you (Deuteronomy 7:13, 14).
I will show mercy to you (Deuteronomy 7:12; and 13:17).
I will have compassion on you (Deuteronomy 13:17),
I will do good to you (Deuteronomy 30:5-9).
I will rejoice over you for good (Deuteronomy 30:9).
I am for you and will turn to you (Ezekiel 36:9-11).
Don’t you love these promises? What a wonderful God we have. But . . . God says something to us immediately after each one of these promises. After each one He says, “And I will multiply you.”
The way God wants to show His love, blessing, and compassion to us is to bless us with children. They way He shows His goodness to us is not always with material possessions, an easy life, and getting everything we want, but with the blessing of children from the womb.
Is this the God you love and worship, or is it some other god?
Many blessings to you today from Nancy Campbell
