GODS INTENTIONAL LOVE by Lisa Newell 5-15-26
Eph 1:9 And through the revelation of the Anointed One, he unveiled his secret desires to usthe hidden mystery of his long-range plan, which he was delighted to implement from the very beginning of time.
10 And because of Gods unfailing purpose, this detailed plan will reign supreme through every period of time until the fulfillment of all the ages finally reaches its climaxwhen God makes all things new in all of heaven and earth through Jesus Christ. TPT
EPH 1:5 He is the architect of our design; his heart dream realized our coming of age in Christ. MIRROR
EPH 2:4 None of this could distract from the extravagant love of God; he continued to love us with the exact same intensity.
5 This is how grace rescued us: while we were yet in that state of deadness and indifference in our deviations, we were co-quickened together with Christ! We had nothing to do with it. Grace freed us, once and for all from the lies that we believed about ourselves under the performance-driven system, and now defines our authentic identity! MIRROR

EPH 2:4 Instead, immense in mercy and with an incredible love,
5 he embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. He did all this on his own, with no help from us! MSG
EPH 2:7 Throughout the coming ages we will be the visible display of the infinite riches of his grace and kindness, which was showered upon us in Jesus Christ. TPT
TITUS 3:4But then, oh happy day! It was the generosity of God and his fondness for mankind that dawned on us like a shaft of light. Our days of darkness were over! Light shone everywhere and we became aware: God rescued the human race!
5 Salvation is not a reward for good behavior. It has absolutely nothing to do with anything that we have done. Gods mercy saved us. The Holy Spirit endorses in us what happened to us when Jesus Christ died and was raised! When we heard the glad announcement of salvation it was like taking a deep warm bath! Our minds were 1thoroughly cleansed and re-booted into newness of life. MIRROR
1 TIM 2:3 This is the way our Savior God wants us to live.

2 PET 3:9 God isn't late with his promise as some measure lateness. He is restraining himself on account of you, holding back the End because he doesn't want anyone lost. He's giving everyone space and time to change.
PS 139:17 Where could I go from your Spirit? Where could I run and hide from your face?
8 If I go up to heaven, youre there! If I go down to the realm of the dead, youre there too!
9 If I fly with wings into the shining dawn, youre there! If I fly into the radiant sunset, youre there waiting!
10 Wherever I go, your hand will guide me; your strength will empower me. TPT
ROM 8:38 This is my conviction; no threat whether it be in death or life; be it celestial messengers, demon powers or political principalities, nothing known to us at this time, or even in the unknown future;
39 no dimension of any calculation in time or space, nor any device yet to be invented, has what it takes to separate us from the love of God unveiled in our Lord, Jesus Christ.

GAL 2:20 So here I am dead and alive at the same time! Im dead to the old me I was trying to be and alive to the real me which is Christ in me! Co-crucified, now co-alive! What a glorious entanglement! I was in him in his death; now I discover that he is infused in me, in my life! For the first time, Im free to be me in my skin, immersed in his faith in our joint-sonship! He loves me and believes in me! He is Gods gift to me. MSG
JER 31:2 This is the way God put it: "They found grace out in the desert, these people who survived the killing. Israel, out looking for a place to rest,
3 met God out looking for them!" God told them, "I've never quit loving you and never will. Expect love, love, and more love! MSG
