Sharing Love From Sweden - The Greatest Is Love - Eva Haglund


THE GREATEST IS LOVE
by Eva Haglund
Sweden

In Corinthians we can read, "And now abide faith, hope, love,these three, but the greatest of these is love". Sometimes knowledge is counted above love and some boast about knowledge.

What does is matter if anyone has all knowledge in the world but not have love we can see in 1 Cor.13:2. It is not wrong with good knowledge but if we have knowledge in anything it is not to boast before others but many things we can learn we can use in helping other people. A prophetic gift is not higher than love. Love is higher than prophetic gifts. 

Prophetic gifts is not to boast about. They are given for a person to be a giver with it and it is not more than when a child pick flowers to a parent - a present in love - because love is highest. We need prophets and we need also prophecies from different persons but one thing as the Body of Christ need is love.

In James it is written "What does it profit, my brethren, if someone say he has faith but does not have works?" The faith ought to be shown in love. I am surprised not to hear many preach or talk about love because God is love. To show love is like a sermon that God is love.

What Yeshua did at the cross is love. When He suffered so much for us before the cross was love to us. When He choose to come to the earth for our sake was love. When our heavenly Daddy sent His own precious Son to die for us it was love. Yeshua is love, lived love and gave all in love. 1 John 4:8 "God is love."



It is important to learn to know God as love. He loves us much more than we understand. Yeshua did not live a life without showing love. He came as a servant in love. He was humble and was willing to suffer because of love. He told us to wash each other`s feet. He showed us about taking care of each other in friendship in the Body of Christ.

Yeshua talks about love in John. It is written "This is my commandment that you love one another as I have loved you." Yeshua was willing to give His love for us. Yeshua say that "Greater love has no one than this than to lay down his life for his FRIENDS."

Yeshua talks here about friendship. We see here that it is important to take time for friendship.

The biggest Friend we need to take time with is God. Then we need friendship. I think it is a time for more friendship in the Body of Christ. God wants to restore more of this in the Body of Christ. We need each other. It is a new time and I think one of the things God wants to do is to restore this. It is too much as a club but it needs to more like a big family with more fellowship.

In Acts it is written how they had fellowship and ate together; not just in a church building as it is sometimes today.  I think it is easier to meet other Christians if we do not live so far from each other. Then it is also easier to help more practically and to do things together. You can know people who live far way too. We are also global as one big family.

When there is love in the Body of Christ - in friendship, fellowship and helping showing care - such as in washing each other`s feet - it also is a practical testimony to the world. In John 21 we see that Jesus showed a lot of care practical, even made the bread and had fellowship. He was eating breakfast with His friends. We can eat breakfast with our Friend Yeshua but also eat together with others.



We need each other in the Body of Christ  globally but you cannot know all well but show love. Bitterness towards anyone? We need to leave this behind. Yeshua said at the cross, "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing."

In Cor.13 we can read about love. Yeshua was not selfish. He did not seek "His own". He saw people. He saw them and showed love and helped. Yeshua loves all and also died for the soldiers who hated Him. The world needs love and we need love in the Body.

Yeshua gave all in love. He gave all His Bread - His life.

As the bread was divided in pieces His heart was crushed in love and pain for us. He gave His heart.

I Cor.13 "And now abide faith,hope, love, these three, but the greatest of these is love."

Sharing Love From Sweden - "We Need Our Daily Bread" - Eva Haglund

 WE NEED OUR  DAILY BREAD
Eva Haglund 
from Stockholm, Sweden


We need usual food. We need usual bread. We also need spiritual food. We need the heavenly Bread.

Yeshua is Bread of life (John.6:35) We need Him. There were people in the Bible who just was interesting in usual food . They were not interested in the Bread of life -Yeshua, but He told them that they needed Him first. He is the Word. Then the Word is also the Bread of life, as bread to our souls.

It is written in John 1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." When Yeshua is the Word we need to read the Bible. We need the Bread - our daily Bread. The Bible is like a bread. We need to be hungry for it.

It is good to read the Word every day. We need it every day. God also can speak to us personal in the Bible. If we are in difficult situations we need Bible verses to stand on.When we read the Bible we learn of God more and it helps in our daily walk.

The Word ought to be precious like gold for us. It is like a golden mine or like a diamond - mine. It is like water in a desert.

There are churches where there is just words from human being but God's Word is not preached. That is not clean water as the Word is. We need words from heaven. The Word. It is a living water. It is alive. We need this living water for our souls. This well of water.

Yeshua is wonderful. He is love. 1 John.4:8. He is wonderful and He is the Word, which is also wonderful.

It is written in Ps.119: 105,  "Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." A lamp gives light. It shows the way. We need Gods light in our path. We need to see.

In Ps.119: 48 we can read,  "My eyes are awake through the night watches, that I may meditate on your word."

We can see that David loved words from heaven - from God. He was singing in the Psalms to God. I think it is good to read the Word aloud also because then you hear the Word and it is good to hear it. I also think that you can sing from the Word. For instance, from the Psalms as David wrote.

To confess loud some things from the Word every day is good. As an example, "My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth." It is a help for your faith.

Hebrew 4:12 says, "For the Word is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged soul piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

The Word is strong. It is strong like a fire. It build us up.Then it is good to hear good sermons also and to read good christian books with teachings for instance.

We need the Word - our Bread.

Sharing Love From Sweden - "WORSHIP IS LIKE A PRECIOUS OIL FROM OUR HEARTS" by Eva Haglund

WORSHIP IS LIKE A PRECIOUS OIL 
FROM OUR HEARTS

I believe that sometimes people do not understand the importance of worship. There are some who think it is just to save time in a meeting and are never interested to sing outside the church building. There are Christian leaders who do not understand it and some stop worship leaders after five minutes and say that is enough.

There are other leaders who understand some importance of it now, but hopefully will understand more later. People want to do things for Yeshua but sometimes do not understand the importance of the relationship with God. The relationship ought to be first. We need to be home too, and have time to seek God. We worship because that is having a relationship to God. It is giving your heart to Him. This is not a law but it is as between a bride and a bridegoom. As in Song of Solomon, anyone who loves you will want to express your love in words. You can use the song to express your love to Yeshua.

God wants our worship from our hearts. He loves us and He love to hear our voice singing worship to Him. In Song of Solomon 2:14 is written, "Let me hear your voice." He loves to hear us worship Him. We need worship in the church building but God lives in people's hearts. The ones who have received Yeshua are the temple of the Holy Spirit and we can sing in other places and at home. David was singing much outside with the sheep. It is written much about thanksgiving and to sing to God in the Bible.

In Ps.106 is written " Oh, gives thank to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endureth forever."

Sometimes we forget to thank God. It is good to remind each other about it. In Ps.100:4 we can read, "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name."

Worship is important and it is good to give thanks to Yeshua. I think dance to God can be like worshiping Him with your body. In the Bible we can see that David danced to God. Miriam did also. Worship is important and it is good to give thanks to Yeshua. I think dance to God can be like worshiping Him with your body.

David and Miriam understood the importance of dance and did it from the hearts because they wanted to lift up God with dance and song. When we are in difficult circumstances we need worship. Sometimes we can be in very difficult circumstances and then we need to worship. To rejoice in the Lord is our strength. When we worship we become glad. We rejoice in Him.

I have noticed that when you dance to God that you become joyful. Worship and dance to God does not have to be done if we only feeling like it. You can feel sad or discouraged but it is good to worship when you do not feel well also. It is a sacrifice of praise. Instead of complaining, it is good to turn it and gives thanks to God. It is good to read about how much He suffered before the cross and at the cross - to read more of it to get more revelation about how much He suffered for us personally because of His love to us. 

Yeshua  faced the hate, rejection and the biggest suffering while nailed at the cross. He showed His love for us. You can worship thinking about that. He knows what suffering is and He suffered so much for me at the cross because He loves me. We can always praise Him for what He has done for us at the cross - His immense suffering for us. We can thank Him for His love for us. We can thank God for that He is good and that His mercy endureth forever.

In Acts. 16:25 we can read, "But at the midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them." In the prison I do not think it was nice. It was a hard place to be in. Their strength then was to worship. When they worshiped I think spiritual things happened.

When you lift up God with worship it is also spiritual war against darkness. We can read in verse Acts 16:26 that things happened as prisoners were released. When we worship it causes things to happens. In meetings the presence of God can come. We can also worship in our homes. It is nice when someone plays guitar for instance, in addition to singing in a home. I think unsaved can get saved by hearing worship.


I have heard about people who have been healed in worship and it is good for your soul to worship. Yeshua is wonderful and worthy our worship!

Worship can be like giving God roses from your heart to Him. It is also like worship when you give your life in His hand. Your life is as symbolic as a rose you keep in your hand and give to Him. One time I danced with a rose to symbolize this.

Worship is like a precious oil from our hearts to Yeshua. The woman at his feet was crushed by His love and wanted to give something from her heart. She gave Him precious oil.

Yeshua loves to hear our voices and love to hear us worshiping Him! He is wonderful and worthy all our praise!

Sharing Love From Sweden - "Yeshua - the Passover Lamb" by Eva Haglund

Shalom Steve!

I liked the  poem you wrote on the blog! Thank you very much! I wish you a Happy Passover! 

Blessings, 
Eva
The Passover Lamb
Isaiah 53

I think about Yeshua - the Passover Lamb. He gave everything for us like a lamb led to the slaughter. I think about our heavenly Daddy's deep love. His Son was like a precious Lamb for Him I think - a lamb without
faults and He laid down, as our loving Daddy, His precious Lamb at the altar for us. Our heavenly Daddy's heart was crushed for us and He wanted to do everything for us. The biggest love was to be willing to give His Son.

He know there is NO other Way to Open thé Way to heaven. Abraham did not have to sacrifice his son but God gave everything for us. He gave the biggest present.

I think He had pain in His heart seeing Yeshua suffer so much but he did it for us. Yeshua loved His father and wanted to do His will. He loved us also so much and was ready to do everything for us. He had the good shepherds heart giving everything for the sheep.

I think in Gethsemane Yeshua had so much agony until blood because He knew that He would have to suffer so much because it was a terrible pain, but He chose to carry all sufferings- all pain because of His love to us.


Yeshua's heart was also crushed for us as our heavenly Daddy's was. God is really Love!

My favorite chapter is Isaiah 53 because it tells how wonderful Yeshua is. It shows how the Father- Daddy is also.

God is love.

Eva


Yeshua's blood was shed for us. His back was whipped full of stripes.


We can celebrate His death 
and resurrection now 
because He reigns in heaven. 
And Yeshua (Jesus) is coming back again as 
King of kings and 
Lord of lords.

HAPPY PASSOVER!

Hello Steve,
Congrats on the four-year mark, that is awesome. It is amazing all the publishing and all the media sites and development you are doing ....and doing so well...glory to God!
 
Your four books being published and all the other made me remember how God spoke of you as Jacob/Israel while he had to serve Laban...and then was tricked into serving Laban again.   But how God gave him that supernatural strategy of putting the rods in front of the sheep, etc. so they would reproduce, etc to Jacob's benefit.   When you first sent me the finishing of the fourth book, the photo of all four together, that’s what instantly came back to my  spirit /mind...about how the flocks and herds had supernaturally reproduced and increased, I do think that was definitely a Holy Ghost thought.
 
And the awesome tours to Israel, and your ministry "Love for His People". Good-good-good!  Rejoicing with you and believing for more and more doors of teaching, mentoring, touring and traveling to open for you and Laurie. 
 
Blessings to you and Laurie --

Dear Brother Steve!
Well done, Brother and your coworker! I can't express how much I appreciate your efforts. It's great to have someone as special as you to work for His People. I am proud to be a part of your organization.

Yes the same thing was happened to me since 2011 when God spoke to me to Work for His people here in Pakistan.

Congratulation with depth of my heart,

Sharing Love From Sweden - GOD HAS NOT REJECTED THE JEWS by Eva Haglund


Shalom Steve!

I have been  thinking of  the Jewish people  and send you what I wrote.

Some trees here have begin to become green and some flowers comes up  so I take  photos. Sometimes you see deer close. They are  beautiful!

Many blessings and greetings from Sweden!

Eva



GOD HAS NOT REJECTED THE JEWS


I wanted to write about the Jews because anti-semitism is increasing and we as Christians need to make our voices heard. When anti-semitism increases God's love to the Jewish people remains eternal.

When people are against Israel Yeshua, the Lion of Judah, we know Who fights for Israel. The Lion is strong and has authority. God keep His promises to the Jewish people in the Bible. God told Abraham to look at the stars in Genesis 15:5 he heard the number for stars.



As God counts all stars He can count all people. I believe we are like stars before Him. I am thinking of a symbol for a human being as a star. As He calls each star by name He calls us each by name. He see all people and all Jews. Every time Abraham looked at the stars he could think of the promise God gave him. When we look at the stars we can think about that. As long as the stars are above us God's promises to the Jews remain. God told Abraham to look at the stars and we can do. In Rev.22.16 is written that Yeshua is the Morningstar.

The state of Israel will remain and He loves the chosen people so much! God do not reject the Jews when there are some people who do. Israel, His people, are so precious for Him like a precious lamb for a shepherd or like a child a parent loves very much. God has not abandoned the Jews but God has done everything for the Jews. He gave his Son.



In Isaiah 53:7 is written about Yeshua that " He was led as a lamb to the slaughter." Our heavenly Daddy's heart was crushed for the Jews whom He appeared to first.He was willing to do everything for the Jews so He sent His Son to die for them.



Would He reject this people? No, He does not! In Rom.11:1 Paul says, "I say then ,has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin."

Paul did not deny that he was a Messianic Jew. I also think he kept the Jewish feasts as I think it is a blessing to keep for all people. Also for Christians who are not Jewish to keep His feasts.

The Jewish people are like a treasure for God. They are like a golden necklace for Him with diamonds in His hand. He do not reject the Jewish people.

In the newspapers we could read about a big heart as birds created in the air in Israel this year. God sent birds to create a heart to show that He loved the Jewish people when people wrote that anti-semitism had increased.

Yeshua loves the Jews so much and in His name is eternal salvation.

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

Eva Haglund




ISRAEL - PRECIOUS LIKE A CHILD

Israel is amazing like a star.
Israel is beautiful like a  rose.
Israel is  like a golden necklace  
with diamonds for God.
Israel is like a fragrant garden 
with fruit trees.
Israel is like a vineyard 
with grapes looking like precious stones.
Israel is like a precious lamb 
for a shepherd
or like a child a parent loves so deep.
God loves Israel!

Isaiah 62:3, Isaiah.40:11

Sharing Love From Sweden - Eva Haglund "One in Christ"

Shalom Steve!

I send you many greetings from Sweden!

There has come some flowers in the early spring here and I and a friend went outside in the nature and took photos outside. Wonderful to be in the nature I think as God has created. The creator is wonderful!

I have been talking and thinking and would like to share some thoughts about to be one in Christ.

Blessings!

Eva 



ONE IN CHRIST


ONE IN CHRIST WITH THE SAME VALUE

Paul did not count his "own works" -self -righteousness and titles. Paul is writing in the letter to the Philippians in verse 3:7 "that what things were gain to me I these I have counted loss for Christ, " and in verse 3:4, "though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone think he has confidence in the flesh, I more so circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews, concerning the law a Pharisee."

He says in Phil. 3:8 "Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ, and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith in Christ."

I am thinking that it can be a new time when God wants more to use whoever He wants. It has been a time when sometimes a church has been like one man but I think God wants it more to be like the Body standing together as one man, one Body.

We need each other much in friendship, as the "hand" needs the "foot" in a body and instead of any "superman" who sometimes people run after like an idol. Jesus is the Head and we all need each other, with the same value as we can see in 1 Cor.12.

I think Jesus wants people more to do things in teams also and that it is important with the thinking of unity - love in Body of Christ between churches without receiving wrong doctrines, but biblical.

Sometimes people in the Body of Christ are looked down on. People who are ill, old, unemployed, have less money  - people sometimes look down also among some Christians. Sometimes there are people who think they are above, with titles, or sometimes people who have more money look down at people who have no money. This is not from God.

It has to do with learning to know God and how He looks at people. Leah was blind and was bad treated but God did not like when she was bad treated . Leah was very precious for God and He saw her value.

In James 2 in the Bible it talks about a man who was poor come to a meeting, but was treated different. The Bible tell us not to do so.

In Gal.3:28 it is written that Jews and Greek are one in Christ and that men and women are one in Christ. The same value. I think God can use a child as much as a grown up but in a different way. We will be humble like the children. I think God many who are ill as much as he can use people who are not ill.

God does not look at our titles or own " works." He does not look down at old people who are looked down at sometimes. He did not choose David to be King because of how young he was.

Seal of King David in Jerusalem

He does not look as people sometimes look at titles or so. God looked to David's heart. He knew he loved God. He prepared him to be a king in showing care and love to the sheep.

He used him to go against Goliath - not because he was big in himself but because he knew who he was in God - that God could use him because GOD is big.

The boy who went against Goliath did not have any titles. The enemy was laughing at him but God used him mighty. He was willing and bold to go and did it because he loved his God. God can use old as much as young and there need be more contact with old and young. One of the strongest songs singing I have heard was when I heard a autistic boy sing a Christian song. I am thinking that it is a new time and that God will use whoever He wants and He will use children, too.

When Jesus was born the angels appeared in front of shepherds. They did not have any titles.They were simple shepherds. They had learned to show love to the sheep as David did.To show love and care is more worth than to have a title but do not have love for people.

David was a king later. He had a title but he did not have it to show but he had it because as he has learned to take care of the sheep and show love he was as a king to give.

Joseph suffered very much. He was also for a long time in prison. He learned to seek God in difficulties and because he had been in prison he knew what it was to be in prison and showed love to all people.

The first disciples Jesus went to were also fishermen. They did not have any titles but they have learned things on the sea. They were good to work together under difficult circumstances and be ready to work hard and working in a team, as friends together.


Jesus was a King in love - a King in love. He gave up his titles, honor, aboundness for us.

Eva Haglund


A LOVE BEYOND ALL LIMITS – JESUS



The title He got was criminal.
The royal crown He received was made of thorns.
The life in aboundness was His garments divided.

The palace He went to was the cross.



The honor He was shown was people turning away -
their faces in contempt and a suffering unto death.
He was willing to give up it all - because of love...

He did it for you!

Isaiah 53, John 3:16, 1 John 4:8.


Blessings and Shalom!

Sharing Love From Sweden - WE NEED EACH OTHER by Eva Haglund

March 26, 2014

Shalom Steve!

Many greetings from Stockholm!

Thank you for serving God with "Love For His People"! Thank you for all good things you write and also for your support for Israel and the Jewish people!

Just now I have read what Rick Joyner wrote about that we need each other. I totally agree with him! I  have been thinking and share some of my thoughts about the subject:


WE NEED EACH OTHER

Sometimes Christians are so stressed and do not think they need each other. Some will just seek the Lord and some just want to evangelize without friendship. We need seek the Lord and we need intercession in a world who really need intercession but we also need each other. God is not impersonal and want us not to just do things for Him but to have a relation with Him -  to have Him as your friend. Our heavenly Daddy and Jesus have much fellowship. In John.21 we can see for instance that Jesus had fellowship with the disciples. We as Christians need each other, too. 

The church is not a building as many people think.

The church is the Body of Christ with Jesus as head, not any strong  leader but Jesus.
As usual, our body needs each other's part ,1 Cor.12, so we need sisters and brothers not just in a church building but much in friendship. Even if you cannot know all, still how love and have some contact with people you also cannot know well. 

It is not good for us to stand alone. We need each other. We need each other in friendship to pray together.  For instance, you can worship together but also do other things. Take a walk and look at the nature with friends.

We also need meetings together. It can be in a house as Mary had meetings in hers, as in Acts, or in a building. If three friends meet in  a home seeking God  - that can also be a meeting. We need more of house of prayers today. We need to pray together and worship.

We do not need clubs but fellowship. In the Bible it talks about hospitality and in Acts 2:46 they broke bread from house to house and had fellowship. Jesus also prayed in John.17:21 that love will be a testimony to the world. 


He tells us to love one another in John. 15:12-13. He does not just mean to see each other in a church building but to have real fellowship among Christians. When Jesus tells us to wash each other`s feet I also think He talks about to take care about each other - show care to our sisters and brothers. I also believe in forgiveness - not to be bitter to anyone. 

However I believe it is good to have mature leader/leaders in a local church who care for people and do not have a hard heart but has been touched by the heart of the Father. I think all in the Body has the same value but with different gifts. We need to be one in Christ Gal.3:28. I think it is a new time when also God wants to work, to do more things in teams and that it is a new time when He wants to restore more of the love in Body of Christ.The enemy has stolen much of it among us. 

The enemy wants us to be bitter to each other, so he can bring more division to the Body. But we need forgiveness and love among each other. I believe also that when guided by God, Christian friends can live close to each other as in Ps.133. It is written about blessings with it. Sometimes Christians live so far away from each. I think that it is not good. If we live so far from each other, it is hard to be together. It is easier to pray together, have a meeting and other things together also in friendship if we do not live so far away from each other.

Jesus is the head as the body. He is a real Friend. We need Him first. This Friend gave His life for us in love. Friendship with God ought to go hand in hand with friendship with each other. 

If you do not have friendships now - He want us to get them back!


TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER
Wash the feet - showing care. 
Like a servant - giving out...
Love is to give... Wash the feet -
"ask anybody how it is - how are you" ?
Giving bread to a friend who do not have
...Write that letter...
Call that person who is alone... 
Invite anybody for a dinner...
Wash your friends dishes... 
We are cleansed by your water,
but reaching out is
showing love.
Wash each others feet.

Eva Haglund.

We need to come together!
Blessings!

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


March 17, 2014

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!
Eva


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.
