God Wants to Help You Today

 God never stopped loving his unfaithful Hebrew people.

When they had to suffer under foreign rule because of their many sins, God's prophets did not just give warnings and rebukes. They told the suffering people that God would not abandon them in spite of everything.

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lam 3:22–23 NRSV

The steadfast unfailing love of the Lord never ceases. So it is with us Christians today. No matter how far we have strayed, Jesus wants to bless and restore you with mercy and love.

We often need correction because without God's wisdom and loving guidance we are often unable to see our mistakes, but God does not want to humiliate or belittle you. That's what cruel people do in the world and unfortunately sometimes in religious communities.

God has something very special for you today, especially today and especially for you.

For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.
Jer 29:11 NRSV

‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’
Jer 33:3 NIV

God has a good plan for your life, but not just for your whole life. God has a good plan to help you today.

For he says, “In the time of my favour I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favour, now is the day of salvation.
2 Cor 6:2 NIV
