His Encouragement #103

Welcome to His Encouragement Thursday! I don’t know about you, but Thursdays are my struggle day of the week. By Thursday, I have already been working hard at school and at home, and I just wish it would hurry up and be Friday already. LOL! I definitely need a little extra Jesus time on Thursdays.

Trisha, my blogger friend at Joy of Reading, and I decided on calling this post “His Encouragement” because our real source of peace, strength, and security can only come from Jesus Christ. He and He alone is our constant! We pray and hope that these Thursday posts become a real encouragement to you and help you end your week strong in God’s love and purpose for you. God bless!

Today’s Thursday Encouragement comes from:

Joshua 24:15 (ESV)

And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

We serve a truly remarkable God.

We serve a God who loves us so much He is willing to let us make our own choices. God does not force any of us to bow down to Him.

Instead, He wants a relationship with us. Imagine that — the Creator of EVERYTHING wants a relationship with you and me. Doesn’t that just blow your mind?!

And, He wants that relationship to be a free-will choice.

Yahweh, You are amazing. Today, I choose YOU!
