As a follow up to last night’s post, to facilitate the change to a new focus like I talked about, I am moving this blog to a new location. Mudless is now http://CenterPointMinistries.WordPress.com. Come visit the new CenterPoint Ministries as we explore God’s Word and what it has to tell us about His love for us and how we are to love Him and our fellow man.

A New Direction (Again)
As those of you who have been reading Mudless are well aware, I posted about a new direction for Mudless that was tied to my daily Bible reading. While that could provide for good reading, I believe that my time would be better served by posting outlines/messages/Bible studies that I wrote from September, 2009 – March, 2010.
I pray that these messages will inspire you to draw closer to God in all you do.
God Chooses To Love Us
Today, I read Romans 9. What stuck out to me the most is what God said to Moses in verse 15: “For He tells Moses: ‘I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.'” It struck me that God could very easily have chosen to not bless me with anything and He would have been within His right. However, God chose to love me and you far beyond anything we deserved. He not only gave us the breath of life, but He also gave us every little thing in life we take for granted every day. Then, to top it all off, God sacrificed His One and Only Son for each of us. He could have chosen to show us no compassion. Instead, God chose to love us. Let us be thankful to God for everything He has given us.
God’s Love Can Never Be Taken Away
This evening, I read Romans 8. I have read this chapter many times and what always stands out to me are two things:
1. Everything God does is always in our best interest. Whether it is allowing us to go through trials or experience great victories, God always works for our good.
2. Once we give our lives to God through faith in Jesus Christ, there is no one who can take us from Him. We have security in knowing that once God receives us, He will never let us go.
Always remember that no matter how bad things may seem, God loves you and will see you through.
