“We have come into an intimate experience with God’s love, and we trust in the love he has for us. God is love! Those who are living in love are living in God, and God lives through them.”1 John 4:16 TPT
This verse is speaking to people who have accepted Jesus as Saviour and Lord. Those who have not done so do not experience His love, because it comes in relationship. It is likened to a marriage. The love between two married people is different and more intimate than between casual friends.
I have the best times when I am immersed in God’s love. I then enjoy loving others and life to the full. It is a wonderful experience. The opposite is not a pleasant place to be at all. Selfishness is a horrible and unlovely place.
Today I have successfully passed through a week of trial. I endured four exams in the Nepali language. They were hard but my God was with me all the way. He lifted me. He told me what text to study and carried me through the difficult patches.
Today I look forward to the next exciting chapter. I will learn to make bonsai pots. There is a market for these in Nepal and I believe it might be a business opportunity which carries with it a business visa and ability to employ the poor. This will free up my time to do presentations in the hills of Sindhulpalchok on human trafficking, and perhaps save some children who otherwise would be destined to be sex slaves.
God has a plan and His plan is fun! It stretches me but what an adventure!
