Fr. Teofil:
“God smiles on us. Why does God smile on us?
He smiles on us because He loves us…
Because He loves us He cannot but smiling on us…
He loves us and He smiles on us…
Our God is God of mercy and compassion…
Why shouldn’t we emphasize this aspect more?
Our believers often think of God like a terrorist, expecting to be punished, expecting His anger, His wrath…
But it is not true…
…
And why should we smile on God? Do you know why?
Because God smiles on us and because God honors us by talking to us.
He speaks to us through the Gospel. As if we were in that place where our Lord Jesus Christ preached.
Each one of us can become the God’s smile for the people around us.
And this is how we all should be, people who bring joy around us and make everyone happy.”
If only people knew how wrong they are, if you think God is angry , ask yourself why??? Better still read the Bible God Bless ❤️🙏
Very profound and beautiful
Thank you for dispelling this myth. 🙏🙏🙏🕯️🕯️🕯️
God is Good and Loving if he wasnt then Jesus Christ wouldnt have come for sinners like us and especially wouldnt have died for us, but Jesus calls himself the Good Shepherd and the good shepherd lay down his life for his sheep. God is Good! Ones you realize God is good you live with him in joy everyday.
Amen
How much I am thankful to God, that he has led me to His church, one that my very feet are not worthy of entering, after once having verbally degraded it, in my foolishness & ignorance, being lured in by pentacostal false spirits
Sfânta Paraschiva de astăzi sa va zâmbească tuturor! 🌷
