Things I wished I have known earlier about God.... part 1

There is no wasted time in God's economy because everything He allows our way is specially designed to work out for our good.

God never compares believer A with believer B, He sees us all on the basis of Christ's finished work and is equally pleased with us as He is with His Son.

God is not waiting to lay heavy trips on us and to steal our joy when we finally give our lives to His care. It is Satan who has done that since the start and wants to carry on stealing and destroying our lives.

Satan has lied to people about the nature of God that people actually fear the will of God.

All of God's blessings for me is not based on my performance but God's goodness and unmerited favor.

God usually works through the talents and gifts He has already given us and not through things we don't have.

God is not a stingy God. He is generous and gracious!

Among all the teachers we have in life, the best teacher is the grace of God!
