Loving fathers give their children guidance on how to deal with all the hard things in life.
I think God gives us all that in his Word because he's a loving Father.
Loving fathers give their children a sense of their history.
God's Word really carries me every day.
I choose Hosea. Oh, there's no book of the Bible which more beautifully and more painfully demonstrates how very much God loves us.
Lots of the time, we just think of the Bible as history or life lessons or poetry or - unfortunately - a collection of 'thou shall' and 'thou shalt nots!' All those elements are part of Scripture.
Sometimes when I read Scripture, I'm trying to learn something or teach something or change something in my life.
As I reread each book of the Bible, I fell in love all over again - not just with God's Word, but with God himself.
The really beautiful thing about each book of the Bible is that you can find God's love through each chapter because God is the author and God is love.
I love his Word and I hope when readers discover how God communicates his love for them through each book of the Bible, they'll fall deeper in love with his Word too.
God does give us the history of his people.
Because God loves us, he tells us where we came from and who we are.
Being blind, I rely on software that talks to me.
