Enjoying the Bible

God is saying through the Bible:

Are you into all kinds of vices?

Are you notoriously evil?

Are you feeling crushed by life?

Are you without any real friends?

However big a mess you are in right now, come to Me!

Radical Grace Through Radical Means!

Approach My throne of grace boldly for I love you just the way you are!

I sent My only Beloved Son as the Man Jesus from Nazareth to die on the Cross just for you! I sent Him for you!

See My love for you in Him. I Am for you.

I am not visible to you. But I have sent my only Beloved Son to be the Man Jesus so that you can see Me in Him. When you see Him, you see Me; see Him, see Me.

I know you are doing what you do because of the devil's lies.

The reason I made My only Beloved Son visible is to undo all the works of the devil. I have anointed Him to do all that. My Beloved Son has routed the devil by His Resurrection.

Never mind what other people are saying about you.

Never mind what you are saying about yourself.

I have chosen you to be My child before the foundation of the world.

I have stamped My Ownership of you in your biological settings.

Come to me just the way you are!

Labor Pains

John 16:21-22 likened Jesus' disciples to a woman in labor.

²¹A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief (anguish, agony) because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she no longer remembers her pain (trouble, anguish) because she is so glad that a man (a child, a human being) has been born into the world.

²²So for the present you are also in sorrow (in distress and depressed); but I will see you again and [then] your hearts will rejoice, and no one can take from you your joy (gladness, delight).

John 16:33 is the epidural:

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]
