What Happened After This Little Girl Visited Heaven Could Change Your Theology

11/13/2015 JESSILYN JUSTICE  charisma news

What do you do when your daughter lies dying in a hospital bed? How do you pray when she looks at you to say, "Mommy, I want to die and go to heaven and be with Jesus where there is no pain ... you would kill yourself and go with me"?

Christy Beam's heart broke in that moment.

"I felt sick, felt like throwing up," Beam says. "What that meant to me wasn't the loss of me, too, but it meant she had processed it, that Daddy will be here to take care of other girls, they will be fine. She wasn't going to go without me. It wasn't a fleeting thought, it was a thought she had taken to process the execution ... It terrified me." 

Now, the Beam's story is hitting the big screen, with Jennifer Garner portraying Christy and Kylie Rodgers taking on the role of Annabel, though Annabel herself would have preferred Selena Gomez.

Sharing Love From Sweden - ACCEPTED AND LOVED BY GOD - Eva Haglund

ACCEPTED AND LOVED BY GOD

Eva Haglund, Sweden

Oct. 3, 2015

In Song of Solomon we can read about a relation between a woman and a man in a marriage but also understand about the relation about the Bridegroom Jesus in a relation to His Bride, the congregation - Body of Christ. We can see how He sees us personally. He loves us much greater than we understand. 

In Song of Solomon 4:9 we read: " You have ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse. You have ravished my heart with one look of your eyes, with one link of your necklace." We understand when we read this text that we are so loved by God. He is crushed by his love to us, a very strong love. He really cares about us.

In Psalm 139 we can read that God is with us everywhere. He cares every second. He is thinking at us. If I am in the middle of the sea, He is with me. When it is dark in the night, He is there. He is with me. In Psalm 139:5 it is written, "You have hedged me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me."

I do not need to think that I am left alone because God is with me. He is my Daddy.

In Psalm 139:13 we understand that God saw us already in our mother's womb. We were planned, thought of and created by the God who loves us. We read, "For you formed my inward parts. You covered me in my mother's womb." In verse 14 it is written that we are 

"fearfully and wonderfully made."

In Song of Solomon is also written, "You are all fair my love, and there is no spot in you."

I think that this means that we are beautiful in His eyes, His Bride. I believe that it means that we are cleansed in Jesus' blood, and there is no spot. His Bride has "white" clothes.

Jesus is crushed by His love for His Bride. We look fine in His eyes. We make mistakes  but are cleansed by His blood. Sanctification is anything else. Jesus wants us to be free from things but His purpose is love.Through faith in Jesus we are saved. When Jesus loves His Bride, the Body of Christ, it is natural that He wants us have a relationship with the first love to Him - in love with God.

Song of Solomon is a good book showing a relationship between the Bride and Bridegroom. It is a close relation between Jesus and the Bride, that of a personal relation.  It is like the woman who was touched at His feet, crying because of His love. It was not a dry theology but a heart who was touched in the relation to Him. It was like a heart with life. A heart to heart relation. Jesus wants to be our Friend, simple and natural. 

In Song of Solomon is written, " Oh, my dove in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice, for your voice is sweet and your voice is lovely." Jesus loves when we speak to Him. In Song of Solomon we also see how He looks at His Bride - beautiful words to His Bride and also how the Bride is in love with the Bridegroom. Verses 10-16 begins with "My beloved is white and ruddy, chief among ten thousands."

Jesus wants to speak comfort with the inner voice, secrets and also tell us jokes when we listen. He speaks also to us through His Word, the Bible, which can be our daily Bread. Jesus loves all people and was willing to give all for us in deepest pain.

The cross, Jesus sufferings for us, is like a sermon of His love to us personally. The cross is also like a sermon about God's love, our heavenly Daddy's love to the world, willing to give the most precious He had for us. His Son has opened the way for us to have salvation. We could not do it ourselves but needed a Savior.

In John 3:16 is written, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."

God is a God who cares about the world. He has shown us the greatest love. 

1 John 4:8 "God is love."

Sharing Love From Sweden - "God - A Daddy Who Loves" by Eva Haglund

Shalom Steve!

I love to read at " Love For His People" every day. I like many things you write! I also like when you have nice photos and it is funny to read when you joke, for instance with the animals.

Here in Sweden it was snowing today but some do not think it will last. I will read in one of your books today! They seems to be very good!

Blessings!

GOD - A DADDY WHO LOVES

God is not a hard God with a hard heart. If you see a person who has much love for his child you can think about how God is.  God has much love towards people. 

When you did not know Him - He loved you. If you have not yet received Jesus, He loves you. He even loved you when you were not born, yet in your mothers womb. Ps.139 :13-16. 

We can see in this Psalm that He cares so much about you so He takes you wherever you are. You cannot hide from His caring love. He CARES. God is a good heavenly dad!

He is a God who IS love. He was a Daddy who created us because He loved us.

We are no coincidence. He made us for a purpose.

If we think we are not precious, He says that we are precious. For our heavenly Daddy we are of more worth than all silver and gold in the world. We are more precious to Him than all things He has created . We are more precious for Him than all diamonds in the world. You mean much more for Him than all stars in heaven. As God He can count all stars on heaven. He can count all the people - He knows all and loves all personally. He loves you!

As He counts all stars and knows them all by name- He knows your name.

He cares so much of you so He counts every hair. If He counts your hair it means that He really cares in all your life. You are so PRECIOUS for Him so He also cares to count all of your hairs! So is our heavenly Daddy's heart.

 As we read in the parables we see a son who went away from his daddy who loved him. He went his own way but  the daddy was longing for him to return. Daddy loves anyone who does not know Him - and wants He or she to come to Him.

We can read that Jesus is looking for the sheep who are astray and loves them. He shows Daddy's heart - because if we know Jesus - we know our heavenly Daddy. He is not a hard Daddy as fathers on earth can be sometimes. He is the perfect Daddy with love and compassion. The son who went away thought when he returned to his daddy that  he was not worthy to be called his son   but the daddy showed his heart to him. He was running to him, and then embracing him- showing that he was a daddy who has been longing for him to come and who loved him so much! 

He wanted to have a party because he was so glad  that he has come back to him. This story shows how God is. A daddy will full of love and compassion who loves the son and waits for him to come to him and when he has come back have a heart full of love, too. Luke.15:11-32 says Our heavenly  Daddy is very glad when anybody is saved. Jesus is the way. We could not be righteous by ourselves. 

We could not be perfect and win salvation by our own works. We needed God and receive what His Son did for us.  "He was led as a lamb to the slaughter."  Isaiah.53:7

In  Isaiah 53:6 the Word say that ALL have gone astray- there were NO perfect man- but it is written in Isaiah.53:5 that " He was wounded for our transgressions."  Our heavenly Daddy's heart was full of compassion and love and His heart was crushed for us. He knew when Adam and Eve fell in sin, but wanted to do everything to save His sons and daughters.

He sent the most precious gift He had. He sent His own son ­- as He loved so much.

 Our heavenly Daddy loved us so much. He sent his Son to do everything for us - showing us the heart of God as Daddy. As Jesus is, so is He.

Jesus was a King in love -  willing to suffer. He did it by His free will because of His love.

He was a leader who was willing to give everything for the sheep. He was willing to suffer the strongest suffering because of His love to them. Daddy gave everything! He gave his Son! Salvation is in Jesus' name!

In Rom.8:15 we can read that God wants learn to know him in a relation we do not have to have  fear - in a spirit of adoption where we can shout : Abba- daddy!

We are saved by grace in Jesus' name. We can have peace with God. God loves you! 

Luke 15:11-32. Isaiah 53.

PRECIOUS

People trampled you under their feet,

Words were like arrows.

Daddy opened His arms and said,

"Come to me.

I love you so much!  

I count every hair. 

I hear all your words. 

I love to hear your voice.

I see you when you wake up!"

He gives you a big hug, 

Holding you close, saying:

"You are my precious child.

You are my favorite.

I do not cast stones on you."

The arrows were not from his heart!

He gave  ALL  He had for you! 

He gave His Son!

You are His golden treasure.

Ps.139, Song of Solomon. 2:14.
