The Path to God is Steadfast Love and Faithfulness


Verses: Psalms 25 : 1 - 22

Song inspired by the chapter:  Song has been uploaded from YouTube.com and is not my original.



My thoughts about the verses:

God gives unending love to us.  We are blessed with strength because of the love gives us.  We are transformed from our old self to a new self through Jesus’s love.  We are free because of Jesus’s love.  We have grace given to us through the Love of the Holy Spirit.

We are to return that love to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirt.  We need to look at our life and turn ourselves over to the love of God.  The way in which to follow God is to show love.  Through love we can find abundance in life.  By asking for God’s never-ending love we are given all the necessities of life.

We need to follow a path of faith.  It is easy to say that I love God and I turn my life over to God.  Yet, what do our actions show.  Are we living a life of faith or are we just saying we are faithful.  If we truly live a faithful life we will reach out to those that need to hear God’s word.  We will be able to show people love through our walk of faith.

Through God’s love we are forgiven for all the things that we have done in our past.  The blood of the perfect sacrifice covers our past transgressions.  Yet, the love of God doesn’t end there.  The love of God covers all of our transgressions that we will do in the future.  Once you ask for Jesus to come into your life you are made new.  Your old self is no longer alive.  Instead you are a new creation made through the unending and steadfast love of God.

One thing that we have to remember is that we did not deserve this gift.  It wasn’t our doing that led us to saving grace.  It was Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross that has cleansed us.  Therefor we need to remember to be humble.  We have nothing to boast about.  We have and will do things that are against God.  If it were not for Jesus’s death we would not receive eternal life.  Therefor our faith is nothing to boast about.  Instead we should humbly display our faith walk.  Our only hope is that through our faith we will help people to accept Christ.

Prayer:

Thank you God for  showing us unending love.  Thank you for your sacrifice so that we can be made whole.  We ask that you help us accept your gift.  Help us walk in our faith while remaining humble.  Help us share the good news to the world.  In the name of the One True Love we pray.  Amen

Questions:


Have you accepted Jesus in your life?  Have you walked in faith?  Are you willing to turn your life over to God?  Is there something that you need to do today to be Jesus for someone today?
