The Lord is saying: I Am here and I Am with you. I will never leave you nor forsake you. You are a jewel in My crown. You are the centerpiece on My mantle. You are My pride and joy. You have My heart in ways you cannot understand – even in eternity this will confound you. But it is true, My loves. It is true that My love for you stretches from eternity to eternity, and from top to bottom. There is nothing that can make Me love you more, and there is nothing that can make Me love you less, for My love is first pure, and then absolute. If you have doubts that I love you, then critically look at your lives and see that I Am a good God. If you are in a pit, this is because you have strayed from My love and have followed another, and it is My will that you turn from this false god and call out to Me, for all other gods are made in the minds of sinful men. When you are in sin it is because you have chosen a god of this world and not the God of the universe. Come to Me now, My loves, that together we may remove these false gods with their false promises from your lives, and that you live in Me and I in you.
Rom 4:1-12 (ESV) What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. 5 And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, 6 just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: 7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; 8 blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.” 9 Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness. 10 How then was it counted to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised. 11 He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness would be counted to them as well, 12 and to make him the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
