The church I grew up in had testimony services sometimes. Different ones stood and told how the Lord had blessed them. The younger ones usually jumped up and said, “I love the Lord because He first loved me,” and sat down real fast.
Oh, how precious it is to love God! Man may not return our love, but God loved us first, and He loves us forever in spite of ourselves. Believers have many reasons to love the Lord.
He specializes in lifting the fallen and strengthening the weak in times of depression and distress. Think about the times He has lifted you.
He gave us salvation and eternal life, saving us from Hell and the power of sin. How many times has He replaced sorrow with joy and walked us through the trials of life. More than once God spared me from death.
Psalm 116:7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. [8] For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
