Kingdom Perfection: God’s Love That Prepares, Heals, and Teaches

 

"Sunrise breaking through clouds, symbolizing God's healing and restoration."


Kingdom Perfection: Love in God's Eternal Plan

"And to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath." – 1 Thessalonians 1:10

   God is not against me but for me. He is not punishing me but preparing me, not hurting me but healing me, and not condemning me but teaching me. This truth reveals the perfection of God’s Kingdom, which is fundamentally built on love. God’s Kingdom is inclusive and welcoming, inviting every person regardless of age, race, gender, education, socioeconomic status, orientation, background, religion, denomination, political affiliation, or personal challenges. Every individual is embraced because God loves us unconditionally.

   God is not punishing me but preparing me. Life’s difficult seasons may seem like punishment, but they are, in reality, God’s way of preparing us for something greater. The punishment that should have been ours was borne by Jesus. He took God’s wrath upon Himself through His suffering and death. Those who accept Christ are no longer under wrath or condemnation. Instead, God trains, shapes, and equips us through life’s experiences, using them as preparation for a higher purpose.

   God is not hurting me but healing me. The pain we face is not God’s desire to harm us but part of a divine healing process. Jesus endured great suffering for us, but God’s intention is always restoration. Though healing may involve discomfort, His love ensures that the end result is complete wholeness and renewal.

   God is not condemning me but teaching me. His heart is not to fill us with guilt, shame, or condemnation, but to guide us into growth and maturity. Just as Jesus learned obedience through His suffering, we too learn valuable lessons in our struggles. God’s discipline is never about shame, it is about love, teaching, and guiding us toward His perfect will.

   In conclusion, God’s love is perfect and everlasting. He knows our strengths and weaknesses, our light and darkness, yet He loves us completely. Through Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection, we are freed from wrath, punishment, and condemnation. Instead, we are called to embrace the truth that God prepares, heals, and teaches us as manifestations of His Kingdom perfection, which is love. Let the simple affirmation “God loves me” remind us daily of this unchanging truth.

God loves me – 1 Thessalonians 1:10

God is not against me but for me!

1. God is not punishing me but preparing me!

2. God is not hurting me but healing me!

3. God is not condemning me but teaching me!

📖 Reflection: In what areas of your life do you need to trust God’s preparation, healing, or teaching instead of seeing it as punishment?

💡 Action Step: Declare daily: “God is for me. He prepares, heals, and teaches me through His love.” Write it down where you will see it often.

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
