God’s love: The overflowing riches of His grace, these are His free gifts!

Into all our lives, in many simple, familiar, homely ways, God infuses this element of joy from the surprises of life, which unexpectedly brighten our days, and fill our eyes with light. He drops this added sweetness into His children’s cup, and makes it to run over. The success we were not counting on, the blessing we were not trying after, the strain of music, in the midst of drudgery, the beautiful morning picture or sunset glory thrown in as we pass to or from our daily business, the unsought word of encouragement or expression of sympathy, the sentence that meant for us more than the writer or speaker thought,—these and a hundred others that every one’s experience can supply are instances of what I mean. You may call it accident or chance—it often is; you may call it human goodness—it often is; but always, always call it God’s love, for that is always in it. These are the overflowing riches of His grace, these are His free gifts.

—S. Longfellow

God’s love: The overflowing riches of His grace, these are His free gifts! We are blessed by God! We are His children, He loves us so much! He has blessed us so much! We need to count our blessings! We need to pray to God! We need to stay positive, loving, and joyful in the Lord! Today we see so many unhappy people. They are so negative, full of hate, and living in misery. They become blinded by hate, live for things of this world, and just are so difficult to be around. So many forget to guard their hearts, take care of their souls! Do you know any people like this? I know I do. God gave us Jesus, He is our model, our example of how to live. Jesus is our Emmanuel, our God with us, He wants us to follow Him, we are called to reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Jesus! When we do, when we have faith in Him, when we repent from our sins, we are promised life eternal in Heaven with Jesus! God brings us the love, peace, and riches of grace, and He is free! It is all about human goodness, it is all about God's love!
