God's Love and Teachings for His Children
Sermon by Kim MyersGod employs unique teaching techniques to guide His children, emphasizing that all things are possible with Him. As our Father, He instills faith, trust, and confidence in us, much like parents nurture their own children. He demonstrates His love and concern by being with us constantly, protecting and teaching us His ways and laws, reserved exclusively for His Family, not the children of this world. When we are new in our conversion, God often builds our faith through remarkable interventions, showing His care in tangible ways. Even as we grow, His love remains steadfast, working with us every moment toward His Kingdom. God counters our doubts and fears with reassurance. When we say, "It's impossible," He reminds us that all things are possible for His children. When we feel afraid, He assures us that He has not given us a spirit of fear. When we believe nobody loves us, He declares, "I love you," emphasizing His deep affection for His chosen ones. When we think, "I can't do it," He affirms that we can do all things with Him by our side. When we feel it's not worth it, He promises that it will be worth it, pointing to a future beyond imagination. When we are worried and frustrated, He urges us to cast our cares on Him, reminding us that we are in His hands. When we say, "I'm not able," He responds, "I am able," never taking His eyes off us. God also instructs us on how His Family should act, focusing on outgoing concern rather than inward worries. He teaches us to edify one another, to be at peace among ourselves, to support the weak, to avoid rendering evil for evil, to rejoice as His children, and to give thanks in all things. Through these lessons, He shapes us to reflect His nature, assuring us of His constant presence, love, and correction, even amidst trials, as we remain His deeply loved and blessed children.
