(excerpts)
“In the beginning, God created human children for himself and gave them a perfect, well-ordered home where they could grow and thrive in peace and safety.
He loved them and delighted in communing with them and giving them wonderful gifts.
But one day, those children decided that all of God’s gifts were not enough. He must be holding out on them.
They did not trust his love, so they did the one thing that he had forbidden them from doing.
On that day, God lost his beloved. But even as he watched his children grow further and further away from him, he vowed to one day win them back.
So began the story of God’s quest to reclaim his lost love, a quest that would cost him all he had to give.
The story of the Bible is God’s quest to restore his broken family. God is the main character throughout, and God’s quest for the heart of humanity is the main message.
Every story points to who he is and why he is worthy of our love and devotion.
The Bible is not a history of humanity. It is not a scientific thesis.
It is not a list of rules and regulations for proper living. It is certainly not a guide on how to be happy and prosperous.
Parts of the Bible address these and many other topics, but none of them is the point.
The point is God’s love for humanity and why we should love him back.
It is an intimate love letter designed to draw us back to him.”
So, listen, God is on a quest to capture your heart – He wants to address the condition of your heart and restore your heart…He wants to win you back.
He wants you to be on a quest for Him and for your marriage that wins….
Isaiah 30:21
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, (this is the way; walk in it.)
God will reveal to you His wisdom knowledge and understanding in His quest to restore your hearts and as you make decisions about your marriage, about each other, for each other, on behalf of each other, and restore your oneness with Him as a unified team through the wilderness with Him.
God is also giving you protection through the wisdom and knowledge He reveals as treasure.
Lamentations 3(ESV)
22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are NEW every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.”
25 The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul who seeks
