GOD DOESN'T USE FORCE
God is so powerful that He could force us to love Him, but
God doesn’t use force, because He loves us and wants us to love Him back.
Even if you hate God – He still loves you.
Bad things happen to good people – it’s because of sin,
not because God hates you. God loves everyone. The devil hates everyone.
You don’t believe in God? He believes in you!
Trust yourself to God – He will care for you.
God planned for you before the world began. He longs for you to talk to Him about everything that is on your mind. God always listens.
I go to Him with all my problems and He always looks after me. As a small child I learned these things – it made all the difference in my life.
Often your mind may be
Clouded because of pain.
Then do not try to think.
You know that Jesus loves you!
He understands you.
You may do His will by simply
Resting in His arms.
Jesus determined, (in council with His Father), to do everything possible - no matter the cost - to rescue sinners. Jesus loves you more than He values His own life – He died for you!

Lessons from a Rescue Dog
"All about us God has placed the beautiful things of nature that they may teach us about Him." The Wonderful Way (Dept. of Education, General Conference of S.D.A., 1955, page 412.)
Our dear Ingrid, the rescue collie dog, has been a true blessing - teaching us lessons about God. She was saved from what we believe was an abusive home, and Ingrid is constantly thankful for being rescued.
Ingrid teaches us about God’s protection. When I am bathing, Ingrid lays outside the bathroom door as protection. One day Andy came home unexpectedly (using the front door) and I was in the shower. According to Andy, Ingrid crouched by the front door and was growling deep in her throat with hackles up because she did not expect Andy, and Ingrid felt I was in danger. After a few seconds she recognized Andy and made little apologetic sounds and allowed him to enter the house.
Ingrid teaches us how to be obedient to God. She does this by paying close attention to our every word and action. When asked to perform a chore she does it willingly and without hesitation. If only we would remember to be obedient when God asks us to do something for Him.
Ingrid teaches us to remain close to God. Whenever Andy comes home, (using the back door), no matter the time, Ingrid bounds out with great enthusiasm and greets him at the back door. If only we had as much enthusiasm for Christ and His return.
Ingrid is faithful and remaining close is her way of worshipping us.
We really loved Ingrid for she was a true friend. We prayed for the right dog and found her, and we like to think that perhaps Ingrid was "praying" for the right home and that her prayers were answered too!!!

God Rescues Every Time
God hears His people when they call to Him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.
The righteous face many troubles, but God rescues them every time.
Psalm 34:17-19

Facing Life's Record
All who would have their names retained in the Book of Life should now, in the few remaining days of their probation, afflict their souls before God by sorrow and true repentance.
The purity and devotion of one will not offset the [lack] of these qualities in another.
[God] will examine the case of each individual with as close and searching scrutiny as if there were not another being upon the earth.
The Judgment is now passing in the sanctuary above. ...Soon - none know how soon - it will pass to the cases of the living...
"Watch and pray, for you know not when the time is." Mark 13:33
Selections from The Great Controversy, p 490, E G White

Our Dear Father
In order to strengthen our confidence in God, Christ teaches us to address Him by a new name, a name entwined with the dearest associations of the human heart. He gives us the privilege of calling the infinite God - our Father.

Best Friend Forever
Jesus is eager to be your best friend. He has not changed with the changing years. His love is as strong, His understanding as perfect, His sympathy as deep, as He was in Bible days. He is just as eager to be helpful today as at any time past.
Sometimes, we are called to pass through periods of trial and hardship. Our future seems hedged with difficulties. Our faith and loyalty are tested to the limit. But NEVER does God desert us. He awaits the right moment to come to our rescue.
Maybe, at this moment, you are troubled, perplexed, and afraid; it may be because you have forgotten that you have such a Friend. Jesus is “our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble” Psalm 46:1. So why not take Jesus at His word and go boldly, and with confidence, and tell Him all that is on your heart.
The Wonderful Creator, the Glorious Savior, is also your Friend Forever!
