God's unending love

the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous.
The Lord watches over the sojourners;
he upholds the widow and the fatherless,
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin. (Psalm 146:8-9 ESV)

To continue on a theme,  God loves us and does everything to protect us. But do not take that to mean you can walk down the most dangerous road in the city.  No, God does everything for us to protect our spot in Heaven. If you don't believe me, think about the cross.

As a parent, we do whatever we can to protect our kids. As they mature, we allow them to make more of their own decisions, training them on the consequences, good and bad, of those decisions. We want to ensure their success in their adult lives. God does the same, looking to ensure that we successfully make it to live eternally with Him in Heaven. But unlike our kids, where they can be successful based on their own actions after a certain age, we can never do enough to gain entry into eternal life. We must accept God's gift to us as the only way.

God bless you and please pray that my travels back home today are safe.
