John 16:33 NKJV

Galatians 3:7-8 NLT
7 The real children of Abraham, then, are those who put their faith in God.
8 What’s more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would make the Gentiles right in his sight because of their faith. God proclaimed this good news to Abraham long ago when he said, “All nations will be blessed through you.”
Galatians 3:21 NLT
21 Is there a conflict, then, between God’s law and God’s promises? Absolutely not! If the law could give us new life, we could be made right with God by obeying it.
We feel cold because we have failed God. But God is not far away from us.
When we feel shame, God is drawing near to you
Grace is about nourishing and cherishing
When we are weak, the Lord focus on us.
Ephesians 5:30 NKJV
30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.
We are His body. We are joined together
Whatever we are facing in life, the Lord is nourishing us
Nourish
I. to nourish up to maturity, to nourish Il. to nurture, bring up
Cherish
I. to warm, keep warm
Il. to cherish with tender love, to foster with tender care
Depend not on feeling sometime.
When we know He is with us, peace will reign in our lives
When your heart is at peace, it is the greatest glory to God.
Rest is the most powerful. It demonstrates faith.
We know who is with us.
The Lord never leave us.
John 18:18 NKJV
18 Now the servants and officers who had made a fire of coals stood there, for it was cold, and they warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them and warmed himself.
Sometimes the Lord will allow you to see your own flesh.
God never cause the crisis but He wants us to grow in the crisis.
Peter denied Him 3 times. The Lord Himself turned and looked at him. I believe it is look of love
When you feel cold, those words will warm your heart
God’s love is agape.
John 21:9 NKJV
9 Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.
When we fall, the only thing that gives us the grace is His love
John 21:12 NKJV
12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”—knowing that it was the Lord.
John 21:13 NKJV
13 Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.
You can feel cold in your crisis and situation, but the Lord is speaking to you and is near you. The Word is near you and near your heart
You are His body.
Body without head is dead body.
It is important to be teachable
We will be disappointed in life.
Luke 24:21 NKJV
21 But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.
During crisis of sickness, we are hoping but we don’t see. And we become downcast
Heart can be cold. But it will never be a distance between us and Him
Luke 24:32 NKJV
32 And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”
In the crisis, He will never leave you
He has never stopped nourishing you or cherishing you
Just praise Him
Your mercy endures forever
