Genesis 29:11 Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.

What was your reaction to seeing the person of your dreams for the first time? If you are married, then what was your reaction upon seeing your future partner for the first time?

I guess not too many of us broke down in tears of joy! I know I was very happy to meet this person!

God has set our lives before us as a journey of faith and when we do follow Him in faith our rewards are great, not just in joy and peace but in many walk of life.

Trust in your God because He does have a perfect plan for you; even if you get things wrong a few times!

Jeremiah 31:9 They shall come with weeping, And with supplications I will lead them. I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters, In a straight way in which they shall not stumble; For I am a Father to Israel, And Ephraim is My firstborn.

When God was speaking through the prophets He told the people many times of the Messiah who was going to come and the joy and righteousness which would follow.

God continued to tell us of the joy and righteousness which awaits us through Christ.

Yet how many people choose to ignore this wonderful news just because they get caught up in the world too much?

Live for Christ and live with Christ!

Psalm 103:13 As a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him.

Just as a parent will correct a child after they do something wrong, so does the parent show pity on a child when they do not understand what they do wrong.

God is not going to destroy anyone who does not do exactly what He says. It is OK to question what is going on. It is OK to ask Him why. It is OK to stop and think.

God has pity on His people. He has pity on us because He knows we are still learning to love Him.
