Only because of who He is may we love in such a way.\u00a0\u00a0Only because we personally and intimately know Him is that possible. Then, we may be hurt, but never in a hopeless estate because God Himself is with us.\u00a0\u00a0Let Him be our love and strength.\u00a0\u00a0He never fails.\u00a0\u00a0Let\u2019s be prepared but if one has not known the love of God, know that at all times, at any time, and in all circumstances, He wants all to grab His outstretched hands to be pulled free by Him.\u00a0\u00a0Know Jesus, know God.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Praise God!<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv0409956789ydpd3afdffaMsoNoSpacing\"><b>Psalm 150:6<\/b>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<i>Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.\u00a0 Praise the Lord!<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv0409956789ydpd3afdffaMsoNoSpacing\"><b>Micah 7:7<\/b>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<i>But as for me, I watch\u00a0in hope\u00a0for the\u00a0Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear\u00a0me.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv0409956789ydpd3afdffaMsoNoSpacing\"><b>Micah 6:8<\/b>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<i>He has shown You, O man, what\u00a0is\u00a0good; And what does the\u00a0Lord\u00a0require of You but to do justly, to love mercy, And to walk humbly with Your God.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Psalm 25:1, 4-5\u00a0\u2013\u00a0In you,\u00a0Lord\u00a0my God, I put my trust.\u00a0 Show me your ways,\u00a0Lord, teach me your paths.\u00a0 5\u00a0Guide me in your truth\u00a0and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you\u00a0all day long.
