Nim: I know somebody who always complains. She never sees the blessings in her life.
Con: You should pray for her. Pray that God will reveal her blessings and then touch her heart so that she can focus on the positive. Which will help her deal with her difficulties more easily.
Nim: I was just going to tell her to shut her kibble-hole and quit complaining, but your way sounds better.
If you remember your blessings, it's easier to deal with your problems.
Abby: My Pastor said "God is Love."
Jerry: That's right.
Abby: But the word "love" is a verb, like in "I love to dance." Saying someone is a verb doesn't make sense. Maybe I should start saying "Abby IS dance."
Jerry: "Love" can also be a noun, like in "He has a lot of love." It's used like that.
Con: "The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;
Con: "He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the Heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
Con: "As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him." - Psalm 103:8-13
Con: God doesn't love us for because of our actions. He loves us in spite of our actions!
We could never be good enough for God. That's why Jesus saved us.
