 'I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me'
(Proverbs 8:17).

The Lord our God loves all his children and his wisdom supersedes all other wisdom. He especially love those who are his own, who love and seek after him with their hearts. In the same way He allude to the fact that, he will honour those who honour him, and those that despise Him shall be lightly esteemed (1 Samuel 2:30). Jesus's love is incomparable, selfless and Sacrificial. His love for us was his death on the cross, to give us freedom from sin and save us. God wants us to respond to His infinite love and seek him with all our hearts. He promised when we do so, that we shall find him. Jesus is the source of true wisdom and is calling out to lost humanity to come to him as we are. He will mold us, fashioned us, make and remake us into who He wants us to be, to bring glory to God. Let us seek that godly wisdom Christ offers us, by allowing the Holy Spirit to work fully and completely with us. When we know Christ and have a knowledge of him, we will love and believe in him by faith as our Saviour from sin, but also as the incarnate Son of God. We will have a sincere heart open towards Him, bursting with so much love for him. We will seek an earnest desire after His presence and will delight ourselves in him. He will love those who truly love him! It doesn't mean that He begins to love his people when they love him, because He loved them before the foundation of the earth and died to save them. His love is unconditional and eternal. He loved us before we love Him. When our love for Christ spring from His love for us, we will be assured of our love for him. Let us love the Lord and seek after his wisdom. Let us seek to find Him early; the first thing each morning seek Him. Put Him above all things and rejoice in Him as our Saviour. Search for Him with your whole heart and you shall surely find him.

Have a wonderful day

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them' (Proverbs 11:3). In our everyday life, we struggle with doing right from wrong. The Spirit of God is the best guide for those who are upright and we must honour and trust God. There are two ways to live: either the safe way, doing what is right; or the dangerous way, doing what feels good and sounds good. To be one of integrity is to always do what is right, regardless of difficulties or consequences; and that's what the upright does. They have constant guide through the Word of God and the voice of their conscience. The perverse on the other hand, do whatever they want, having no standards or parameters for their actions, so their perversity will destroy them. For example, in the Bible Haman was perverse and wicked, his ways were crooked; he conspired to take away the lives of others, but to his own demise He was hung instead for his wicked deeds (Esther 7:10).
