Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.” C.S. Lewis

“He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love.” Mic.7 ESV

Like any good parent, or we should say “better” than any good parent, there are times when God is angry at our behavior. But thanks be, He does not stay that way. God delights in love and in loving and that my friend, is very good news. God doesn’t just love us; He delights in loving us. This means He finds pleasure in actively working to secure all that is good for His children. This may mean of course that He lovingly spanks us when we act badly. God’s displeasure is always governed by the pleasure He finds in steadfast love, at least where His children are concerned. 7/4/2010 Conversations Within ts
