God
is continually seeking us...
that we might have relationship with Him. He is continually pouring
Himself out to us in Love. Its is His highest joy that we come into
relationship with Him. He meets us right where we are if would only
turn to Him in FAITH. Faith is the only key that opens the
door of our hearts to let Him in. Trying to do things to
earn His love will accomplish nothing.
FAITH IN HIM!

VS. FAITH
IN SELF
SELF RELIANCE ~ SELF SAFETY ~ SELF CONTROL ~ SELF TRUST
ultimately we cannot trust ourselves but God is completely trust-worthy.
we let
ourselves down and are slaves to self-destructive tendencies and habits,
the
good that we want to do we don't seem able to accomplish and the bad that
we want to avoid we end up doing... but God is always completely good and
competely loving.
