Part 2
GOD Loves Us All!
By not communicating with GOD, it is like we are ignoring HIM. And basically saying, HE has little meaning in our life or is of little importance to us in our life. So, thus, will lessen our relationship as a friend to HIM.
And like-wise, when we welcome a friend into our life, the friendship [if he/she is a true friend] rejoices, and can grow & get even stronger. So the same should be when we except The Almighty GOD into our everyday lives. And once we do, we become more closer to HIM, and the love we have for HIM grows even more stronger. And (if we truly love The Almighty GOD) we can actually feel HIS Love grow in us! It's an awesome feeling! Some people call it; "a paradise with-in" ourselves.
And once you experience GOD'S Love, you will discover for yourself just how powerful HIS Love is compare to ours. Not only more powerful but also more caring, more gracious, and more beautiful than ours could ever be.
I for one, believe in HIM, more than I could ever believe in any human-being or anything! And from knowing this, I have found my faith in HIM & that HE has made HIMSELF known to me. Jonah2005 {*genesis!}

GOD Loves Us All!
Part 3
I wanted to know all about HIM! And as James 1:5 states: "Any of you who lacks wisdom must ask GOD, who gives to all generously and without scolding; it will be given." I found to be true! For Jehovah has given me so much that I really believe - if I had to - I could write a book on how & what HE has taught me! It's feels awesome & I find it to be so amazing - that it - in a figure of speaking -- takes my breath away. I call it: "The Paradise With-in My Soul." And then in Proverbs 8:17 *Jehovah, The Almighty GOD states: "I love those who love ME; whoever searches eagerly for ME finds ME." And Jesus also said in Matthew 6:33,: "Set your hearts on HIS Kingdom first, and on GOD'S saving justice, and all these other things will be given you as well." And then also in Matthew 7:7 Jesus says: "Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you."
So, if you really, really want to know GOD, HE will know it when you confess it to HIM in prayer - because as you talk to HIM, HE'LL be reading your heart. (Compare with - Acts 15:8) "And GOD, who can read everyone's heart, showed HIS approval of them by giving the Holy Spirit to them just as HE had to us." All you have to do is let HIM in your heart & make HIM a part of your family - every day. Where ever you go with your family & in what ever you do - take GOD with you! Because HE wants to be there. And just because HE knows more than we do - doesn't mean HE doesn't want to hear from you. For this is the way I have found that HE communicates with me, through my prays & by also calling on HIS Name, Jehovah!


*Also known as Jesus Christ, Yahweh, LORD, Lord, and Abba. And many other names as well, according to one's language. Jonah2005 {*genesis!}

Psalms 139

1. O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
2. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.
3. You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.
4. For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
5. You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me.
6. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it.
7. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8. If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10. Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.
11. If I say, "Surely the darkness shall fall on me,'' Even the night shall be light about me;
12. Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
13. For You have formed my inward parts; You have covered me in my mother's womb.
14. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
15. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.
17. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
18. If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.
19. Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
20. For they speak against You wickedly; Your enemies take Your name in vain.
21. Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
22. I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies.
23. Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties;
24. And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

Why God know our heart . Here is just one reason . Jeremiah 24:7 And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Jehovah: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God; for they shall return unto me with their whole heart. (ASV) .

Sometimes I feel , that people are expected to do a lot to get touch with God . But when you look at the Bible , there are only few basic things God expect from us . It is love and obey God . God do a lot for us, when He sees , that we are willing to do His will . God find ways to help and educate us , as He looks what is best for each one of us . God is Father , He knows better, what we need to do , so that we do His will , not our own .

John.17:3 And this is eternal life: to have knowledge of you, the only true God, and of him whom you have sent, even Jesus Christ. (BBE)

How you get knowledge of God ? Bible is one source , but other Christians can also teach form their own experiencies . God can give as wisdom to understand things , that He want us to know . Pray God , if you feel , you have something happening in your life and you cant see, why it is happening .

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good, to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (WBS) .
