Title: All Encompassing Love.

-
‭1 John‬ ‭3:1‬ ‭KJV‬
[1] Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 
https://bible.com/bible/1/1jn.3.1.KJV
Devotion: Parents love their children right? No, parents love their children but not all the time and not all parents love their children. If so some will not abandone them by the road side, forget the baby inside the car in the hot sun to the extent the baby died. Some parents do abuse their children beating them and forcing them to earn living at tender age.
 There's a father though who loves you and me unconditionally and calls us children, His name is God. All it takes become children of God is confess our sins, accept lordship of Jesus Christ over our lives. No matter who we were, whatever the  past mistakes were, once adopted into the household of God we become children. God does not reject anyone who comes to Him.
  To keep this status three things are required: 1) daily Bible study to understand our heavenly Father deeply, know what He likes, what He does not and understand His laws. 2) to establish personal relationship with God in prayers, have intimate communication with God regularly. 3) to worship God always with our substance, body and soul. Remember children of God are a living sacrifice to Him.
  God's love reminds us that our brokenness doesn't define us—His unconditional love does. See, behold, and turn your affections toward this great love. Through the Father's lavish love, you are transformed, renewed, and brought into a relationship that eternally defines who you are. 
  Pause today. Take intentional moments to see and behold. Reflect on how God's love for you has been made evident in your life through the years of joy and sorrow.
  Please share your thoughts with us here and share this devotional with family and friends. Shalom. Hallelujah.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
