Hi,I thought it would be great to start a thread that does nothing but praise God!Please contribute as you are led.I praise God because of his patience! He has (and still is) very patient with me. I also praise him because his kindness is designed to lead us to repentance! AMEN!
I praise God thru Christ Jesus because He is the living God, and only He is good.I am also so thankful that He is good. 8-)
Hi JaySavedthanks for bringing this up, i sure and do believe it can be a real blessing/encouragement to read all the replies!Please contribute as you are led.love Him, because He is who He is, no matter where i am.though circumstances can try to drive us down, but let them drive you down on your knees, for He is The Same, yesterday, today and forever (Heb 13:5) and nothing is going to change that.though i may not feel it, but feelings come and go, but i may know and trust Him and His Word, no matter what!in His GraceWilliam
...He saved a wretch like me.
I also love God because:Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Where else should one go? He has the words of eternal life! In addition to this he is so right all the time: I am not and neither is anyone else either. This alone should convince one how deserving he is of our loyalty, praise, devotion and love that has resulted in repentance, obedience to Him. Tall order but in light of eternity a small one,indeed!ginnyrose
I love God because of His Virgin Birth, His Sinless Life, His Death, Burial, Resurrection, and because He is coming again to receive us unto Himself, that where He is, we too, shall be!Our God is an Awesome God!!!Nellie :-)
I love God because He is who He is.He loves honesty, and justice, His choice is mercy, yet this does not hold back his anger at sin and evil.He is gracious and giving to the just and the unjust, not being a respecter of persons. He is fair.I love him because He is holy, sincere, faithful promising never to leave his own nor forsake them. I love him because he makes strong the weak, makes the wreached heart of man joyful.Knowing full well the decitfullness of the human heart, the complete sinfulness of our nature He first loved us, and gave of Himself to keep us from a devils hell.
...because He first loved me. may sound like a cop out answer...but I was a thoroughly unlove-able person when I first found out He loved me.
...because He first loved me. I was just coming on to say the same thing...so grateful...
I praise God because He saved me from the sinful mess I was stuck in... And that while He knows I can never repay Him!I owe Him my life... and what a patience He has with me.. :-) There is so much more to say about this haha! Glory to God! :-D
I love God beacuse he has told me; "Because I live, you shall live also."
I liked this one from Tozer's "Man - The Dwelling Place of God - God Must Be Loved for Himself "Quote: "Bernard of Clairvaux begins his radiant little treatise on the love of God with a question and an answer. The question, Why should we love God? The answer, Because He is God. He develops the idea further, but for the enlightened heart little more need be said. We should love God because He is God. Beyond this the angels cannot think."
