          “Another day … another opportunity to draw closer to your God, to get to know Him, to learn what pleases Him, to understand His heart of tenderness toward all that exists.

          God is beyond your realm of thought, yet He can reveal Himself to you to your capacity to understand.  “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”  To draw near means to cleanse yourself of impurities that you may draw near to the holiness of God.  His pure gaze burns up all that is impure.  God is the Eternal Child – all-pure, all-innocent, all-loving.  There is no deceit or duplicity in Him.  His gaze of candor surveys the earth in tenderness, hovering as a mother hen over her newborn chicks.  He has been greatly misunderstood and maligned by humankind.  They call Him severe and judgmental, yet He is a tender parent gently caressing those He has created.  He must use punishment to keep souls from destroying themselves eternally.  His judgments are His mercy.  Throughout the endless and eternal ages, men will bless God for the trials and afflictions that kept them turning to God in their despair.

          This is an eternal play.  It doesn’t stop at death.  It continues forever.  Man’s soul was created for eternity.  He is in the first act of the play which determines his eternal garment of glory.

          Blessed are those who have eyes for God on this earth!  They are God’s chosen ones, His children of predilection, the apple of His eye.  They are safeguarded and hidden in His heart of love.  They are His brilliant jewels of glory displaying His stupendous grace and mercy.  Who could imagine a God sacrificing Himself for His creations that have rejected Him?  Only a God of pure love could do such a glorious thing to redeem man from eternal damnation, which he deserved in his rebellion against righteousness.

          God is love.  With your love, you draw Him to yourself.  He loves to gather His children in his embrace.  He loves to see His children smiling and content.  So few souls think of Him!  Be one of the few!”

Jesus, God’s Ambassador
