When this happens, we can even lose sight of the thoughts that God has toward us. Today is a little reminder of how He thinks toward us all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p xml:lang=\"EN-US\">The devil would love for us to think that we are not included in this verse, maybe\u00a0because we have done many things wrong\u00a0against God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p xml:lang=\"EN-US\">But, the truth is that our name is in this verse. We have all done things wrong at one time or another and God gives us a\u00a0chance to fix things. God truly loves us and wants the best future for us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Matthew 18:22 (NKJV) 22 Jesus said to him, \u201c<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p xml:lang=\"EN-US\">We serve a GRACIOUS Father.\u00a0It&#8217;s not too late for us to give Him first place. We have to want to. We have to reach a point in our walk where we\u00a0are sick and tired of the wrong things we do and want to do what&#8217;s\u00a0right. We have to hate the sin and love God and righteous living MORE than we love the sin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Are we there yet? Are we willing to hate that which pushes us away from\u00a0our loving Father?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Only we can answer that question. And only then can we take the steps to get close to Him and let Him help us have the future He wants to give us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p xml:lang=\"EN-US\">If we are alive and\u00a0breathing\u00a0then it is NOT too late. And yes, the offer still stands, no matter how far we have\u00a0fallen, but we have to be willing to CHANGE.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Today is a new day and a fresh start.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\nP.O.
