God Wants You☺️!

God Put His Creation, Man, In Paradise!

Genesis 2:8

The Lord God planted a garden eastward of Eden and put the man He had formed there. Consider the Lord putting the man in a paradise garden for a moment. Why? Because He wanted him ☺️happy!

Yes, It’s True! The Lord God Wants You 😃!

If that weren’t True, why would He place man in a finished work (Genesis 2:2)? He made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight and good to eat (Genesis 2:9). Eden was a lush scene. There were four river heads to water the garden, and man didn’t have to work to eat but worked out of God’s purpose for him.    

The man was driven out of the Garden of Eden.

Genesis 3:23-24

 Love Gives Choices!

But why would the Lord God give man the option to choose against His command, you may be wondering? I’ve heard a minister say, “God didn’t want robots,” and I believe that’s true, nor does He want slaves. I believe love gives a free choice. God wants fellowship with man, not a slave-master mentality, but one of Sonship.  

The Stage Set for God to Show Great Love for Man!

God visiting the man and his wife describes a relationship, they knew the sound of His steps, and He knew them. Calling out to them, “Where are you? (Genesis 3:9)” Whether they greeted Him or not, scripture doesn’t say, but Adam wasn’t where the Lord would encounter him causing Him to call out to him. The Lord visited them often. Yes, He knew what had taken place and what He had to do to save man. 

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.

John 3:16

Father God Loves You and Want You 😊!

God loves His creation so much that He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh (Romans 8:3). Jesus, the second finished work the Lord God, gave man that he must receive by faith. Believing He, Jesus is the Son of God and that He came to manifest God’s name, Father, to the men whom He has given Him out of the world (John 17:6).

True Happiness!

Too often, we think of happiness as a temporary state of having our needs and wants fulfilled, but God’s plan and idea of happiness are far greater than a term of personal satisfaction. See, God made man in his image, and what that means is only He can make man happy. Why? Because God didn’t just create and form, He put a part of Himself in man, and that part requires a relationship with Him. Your original purpose is in how God designed you, and only in connection with Him will you achieve a state of true joy and peace.

“But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, 

neither has entered the heart of man, 

the things which God hath prepared for

 them that love him.” 

1 Corinthians 2:9

Beloved,

God loves you, and His plan is the best plan for your life! 

Seek Him, God, first and His righteousness (Jesus), and all these things will be added unto you.

Matthew 6:33
