As I reread each book of the Bible, I fell in love all over again - not just with God's Word, but with God himself.

Because God loves us, he gives us practical teaching and boundaries to protect our hearts. The whole thing is one big expression of a father's love for his children.

God does give us the history of his people.

It was Scripture that I had hidden in my heart that quickly came to mind when my frustration felt stronger than my faith.

God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. It's all about love!

I think God gives us all that in his Word because he's a loving Father.

Loving fathers give their children boundaries so they won't get hurt and can live with peace and purpose.
