THE SURPRISE OF GOD'S LOVE

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE SURPRISE=OF GOD’S LOVE

 

OVER the million of years=OF TIME=Who could have

Ever guessed=HOW God would speak to us=and who and

THE WAYS=he would use?=Who could have ever GUESSED=that

God would come=IN A MANGER=as a  little baby?=Some 2,000

Years ago=THE GOD OF SURPRISES=the surprise of GOD’S LOVE=

“He asked=for a tablet and wrote=’John is his name’=and all were

Amazed”                                                                                                                                               Luke 1:63

 

Who can FORGET the story=Of Zechariah=as he wanted=His baby

To be named after him?=But the Lord out God=had another idea=The

Lord wanted the name of John=But Zechariah was being stubborn=so

God made him=UNABLE to speak=UNTIL Zechariah=Wrote on

A writing tablet=”HIS NAME IS JOHN”=and then IMMEDIATELY his

Voice came back=THE GOD OF SURPRISES=The SURPRISE

Of God’s love

 

We all THINK=we know the WAYS of God’s will=of Jesus’ will=when

Jesus is COMING BACK=for a second time=but I assure you=boys and

Girls=WE DON’T HAVE A CLUE=as to when=and HOW he is going to

Come back=We MISSED HIM the first time=We will probably miss him

The second time too=THE GOD OF SURPRISES=the surprise of God ‘s love-

THE WAYS=in which he works

 

“If you are pleased=with me=Teach me YOUR WAYS=so I may know you=

And continue=to find favor with you=Remember that this nation=Is your

People”                                                                                                                                                Chronicles 33:13

 

“ALL THE WAYS=of the Lord=are loving and faithful=toward those

Who keep=the demands of his covenant”                                                                                  Psalm 25:10

 

“For my thoughts are=Not your thoughts=Neither are YOUR WAYS=

My WAYS’=Declares the Lord”                                                                                                    Isaiah 55:8

 

We have OUR CHRISTMAS=Our holiday traditions=which is great=but

We have to KEEP our hearts open=our minds and our souls=OPEN for

GOD’S next great surprise=That he springs on us=THE HUMAN RACE=WE

Know not how=or who=HE WILL USE=Maybe even he could use you and me=

THE SURPRISE OF GOD’S LOVE=are you ready for it?=The LORD’S next great surprise

BE SURPRISED=in the WAYS=of God’s love

 

“As for God=HIS WAY is perfect=The Lord’s word is flawless=He shields all

Who take refuge in him”                                                                                                                  2 Samuel 22:31

 

“Jesus answered’=’I am the WAY=and the truth-and the life=NO ONE

Comes to the Father=except through me’”                                                                       John 14:6

 

So KEEP all of your Christmas traditions=Your Hanukkah traditions=but

ALWAYS remain open=to THE SURPRISE=of Our God’s love=You never know

WHO OR WHAT=Our Holy Father God and Jesus will use=and HOW he

WILL BE COMING AGAIN=The SURPRISE=OF GOD’S LOVE=and how he

May come again

 

In the Lord Jesus’ and the HOLY FATHER GOD’S EVER LIVING LOVE=and in the

SURPRISES of their WAYS!
