Barnabas Bulletin ~ 0042 GOD IS WILLING TO BLESS YOU! THERE ARE times in our lives when we wonder where God is. Yet, if we could see the bigger picture at those times, we would see and know that God is more willing than we realize to bless us in all kinds of ways. It is His heart to bless those who have committed their lives to Him, and who do love and trust Him. The heart of God is much more willing to get us where we ought to be than we are to respond to allow Him to get us there! Let us not doubt His willingness toward us, a willingness to do us good all the days of our lives. He is more for us than we can ever comprehend or imagine with these finite minds of ours! Know for sure today that God wants to BLESS YOU. His desires are toward us in every way, and He longs to show us more of His willingness to bless and provide for us. How thankful we can be that we serve a God of such generosity, Who shows such willingness to demonstrate His big heart in all kinds of ways. How we should praise Him more and more for all His goodness and mercy toward us. God’s willingness toward us is revealed by the way He continually loves and forgives us, even when we seem to get things consistently wrong in life. He stands by us, and is ready to forgive, heal and give us another opportunity to rise and go forwards in His Name. He does not condemn us, nor does He “hold a gun to our heads” in order to make us submit to His will and purposes. He keeps lovingly pursuing and wooing us until we yield to Him. He is so different to the way we humans treat one another. He so loves us that He desires to use us, and reveal more of His glory through us – that others will see and know He is alive today. The willingness of God to share Himself with us is way beyond our understanding. Yet He is always there, seeking to be more and more a part of our daily lives. How wonderful is this Jesus we serve! So, dear Friend, no matter how hard and difficult you feel life is for you right now, why not take a few minutes to step aside from the busyness of your schedule and invite Jesus to show you some more of His amazing willingness to include you as someone very special to Him? Yes, He does think that you are a very special person. In fact, out of the billions of people alive on planet earth right now, know that He, GOD, personally chose you and called you by name to walk with Him in His Kingdom throughout the rest of your life. You are not an “accident,” nor a “misfit,” nor has God rejected you. You are His special person whom He has chosen to share Himself with. Take this truth into your heart right now and experience more of the willingness of God to show Himself strong on your behalf – Rodney Francis.

Please Pray This Prayer: “Lord Jesus, I am so privileged to be able to come before You as my Special Friend, Lord and Saviour. You care so much for me. You love me with an everlasting love, and you demonstrate Your great love by filling my life with Your presence, as well as many good things. Help me to see You more clearly in my life, that I might love and serve You even better than ever before. I love You, Lord Jesus, and am so grateful for all that You have – and are – doing in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” The Gospel Faith Messenger Ministry, New Zealand.
