John 5:16-18
God is Working
16 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. 17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.” 18 For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
1 John 4:15-18
God is LOVE
15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
God works each and every moment and is always at work in the universe...Jesus said to those who opposed Him, “My Father is always at His work to this very day, and I too am working.”...
God acts to manifest and sustain this world in which we live according to His Will...God works according to His purpose out of LOVE, because He is LOVE...He is watching over us, yet allowing us to make each and every decision on our own...Most of the time, when we make our own personal decisions, it seems, to me, like He seldom intervenes...But sometimes He does intervene in our lives, and if we are listening close for Him, we have this Spiritual Feeling, that He is near and not far from us...
