“Our Father which art in heaven, we Thy children are often troubled in mind, hearing within us at once the affirmations of faith and the accusations of conscience. We are sure that there is in us nothing that could attract the love of One as holy and as just as Thou art. Yet Thou hast declared Thine unchanging love for us in Christ Jesus. If nothing in us can win Thy love, nothing in the universe can prevent Thee from loving us. Thy love is uncaused and undeserved. Thou art Thyself the reason for the love wherewith we are loved. Help us to believe the intensity, the eternity of the love that has found us. Then love will cast out fear; and our troubled hearts will be at peace, trusting not in what we are but in what Thou hast declared Thyself to be. Amen.” Tozer, A.W. (1961) The Knowledge of the Holy 

I was thinking it was time to write something on this blog. I don’t have much time these days, I’m a bit busy. So I thought I’d pick a book and open it, then write the first paragraph I see. I fell on something good I think.  If I remember correctly, in this book, Tozer opened every one of his chapters with a prayer-like introduction. This one is about the love of God. This is a very good book by the way! Sorry for this random posting choice.

  1. Great quote! How much are we deserving of His love? Nil. How much does He want to shower it upon us? Infinitely. Wow, what a God!!

    Hope you’re able to get a little ‘un-busied’ soon.

    (Am rethinking the website in view of your comments about GFA. The Lord brought me to you so you could help me on this. THANKYOU Gabrielle! Second person He’s done this with in the past week! Wow!! Gives me more work to do but… *smile*)

    Love and peace in Jesus!
