About this Blog...

This blog is meant to be a testimony to God's Faithfulness & His Glory.
In Old Testament times, God's people would build altars & monuments that would serve as a reminder of all that God did for His people. Today, we have the same opportunity to pay tribute to God's lavish blessing over our lives. This blog is a modern-day version of the Old Testament monument. May all who visit here and read the things written be inspired to be grateful for the blessings in their own lives and find reason to ascribe glory & honor to Almighty God --- for His unfailing love, infinite mercy & amazing grace!

God longs to be gracious to us

I am thankful that God's kindness leads me to repentance.....not His wrath or anger, or punishment - all of which I deserve.

"...God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance." ~ Romans 2:4b

 God's patience and forbearance with me is unparalleled!  And once I make the choice to confess and turn from my sin, His forgiveness is instantaneous.  He doesn't withhold it for even a second!

"Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you;  therefore He will rise up to show you compassion..." ~ Isaiah 30:18a

 God longs to be gracious to me?  Even when I'm off in my own little world, completely wrapped up in myself?  That is grace.  That is kindness.  That is mercy.  It is totally incomprehensible!  But without those I would certainly be hopeless, helpless and utterly undone.
