The Object of His Affection

Therefore The Lord longs to be gracious to you and show you mercy and He is rising up to show you compassion. For The Lord is The God of justice, blessed are those who long for Him.

Isaiah 30:18

You will listen and listen and never understand; You will look and look yet never perceive. For this people's heart has grown callous; Their ears are hard of hearing and they have shut their eyes; Otherwise they might see with their eyes and hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn back--and I would heal them.

Matthew 13:14-15

I was speaking with two boys at the riverfront yesterday, Anthony and Theron, 14 and 15. They love going to the river. I told them that God's plan is for justice to flow like the Mississippi river we were looking at but for that to happen, we have to take Him at His word and do what He says. "You two are good friends, right?" I asked them. They both answered yes. "Do you pray for and thank God for each other? You will find and may know already that good friends are one of life's best treasures and God's greatest gift, beginning with Himself. "We had a Bible study about the gift of friendship that ended with the fact that God created each of us to be His Good Friend with the upside being that He is always there for us, wanting to walk us through each day He has prepared for us. There is no limit to what He can and will do for those who are the object of His affection and take Him at His word by doing what he says. They went away in His company with His card, a hug and a prayer. They thanked me for being a veteren. I reminded them that Christ Jesus was and is the first and best veteren. All good veterens follow in His steps. "My prayer is that He would be the object of your affection as you see yourself as the object of His."
