The Final "Move"

Some days I enjoy reading multiple passages from the Bible and seeing their common message.  Today it is the message of hope and restoration.  God is in the business of redeeming and restoring.  We fall into the trap of thinking that God is only out to get us when we do bad things, but that is not what the Bible tells us.  We are reminded again and again of the love God has for us as we move through the text.  The final "move", as it were, is the cross.  Jesus died for each one of us because He loves us, there isn't any other reason.  We are loved by God. We are sought by Him. We are redeemed through Jesus.  We are made holy through the Spirit.  We have the omnipotent Lord on our side, rooting for us, restoring our lives and loving us through it all. That kind of love will change you.
