Our God is the Father of mercies and God of ALL comfort.

OUR LOVE FOR GOD IS IN DIRECT PROPORTION TO THE AWARENESS WE HAVE OF GOD'S LOVE FOR US.
DO YOU WANT TO LOVE GOD MORE? COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS. THE MOST INSIGNIFICANT BLESSING COMES FROM GOD.

"Jesus said to his disciples: “As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love." (John 15: 9 - 10).

A Bible translation renders our key Scripture thus:
“I love each of you with the same love that the Father loves me. You must continually let my love nourish your hearts." (John 15: 9 TPT).

In John 15: 10, we see the condition for remaining in the love of Christ:
" keep my commands." Just as our faith contains our obedience, so love and obedience go together. You cannot love God and disobey Him constantly. Jesus gives us His supreme example: "I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love."

It is impossible for anyone to understand how much Jesus loves him until he sees how willing and anxious Jesus wants to forgive him anything and everything. Jesus is ready to provide ALL your needs that accord with the Father's will for your life. No father will give a child he loves a scorpion when he asks for a fish.

Understand and believe that "T'is not from chance our comfort springs O Lord. They are from Your gracious ordaining O Lord our God."

You can confirm from your daily experience this truth:
"What a wonderful God we have—he is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of every mercy, and the one who so wonderfully comforts and strengthens us in our hardships and trials. And why does he do this? So that when others are troubled, needing our sympathy and encouragement, we can pass on to them this same help and comfort God has given us." (2 Corinthians 1: 3 - 4 TLB).

5. 19.  "To give worthy praise to the Lord's mercy, we unite ourselves with Your Immaculate Mother, for then our hymn will be more pleasing to You, because She is chosen from among men and angels. Through Her, as through a pure crystal, Your mercy was passed on to us. Through Her, man became pleasing to God; Through Her, streams of grace flowed down upon us." (#1746)
(St. Maria Faustina).
