It was a beautiful day. As I headed home at the end of it, I heard two young girls giggling. They were sprawled on the lawn, pulling petals out of a daisy and chanting. He loves me... he loves me not... he loves me... Silly game, I said to myself. Someday they’ll know that true love isn’t ruled by chance.
But you know, old as I am, I’m often just as foolish when it comes to God’s love for me. I get a raise at work; God loves me. My hours get cut back; He loves me not. I get a good grade on my test; God loves me. I can’t get into a class I want; He loves me not.
How silly of me! Why don’t I remember that God loves me all the time, that even my disappointments are part of the love? I don’t need a daisy to tell me that!

Acts 18:9-11 9
"Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the Lord, but SERVE THE LORD WITH ALL YOU HEART;
And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
For THE LORD WILL NOT FORSAKE HIS PEOPLE FOR HIS GREAT NAME'S SAKE: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people.
Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
ONLY FEAR THE LORD, AND SERVE HIM IN TRUTH WITH ALL YOUR HEART: FOR CONSIDER HOW GREAT THINGS HE HATH DONE FOR YOU.
But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.""
1 Samuel 12:20-25

"One night the LORD spoke to Paul in a vision: "DO NOT BE AFRAID; KEEP ON SPEAKING, DO NOT BE SILENT.FOR I AM WITH YOU, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city."
So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, TEACHING them THE WORD OF GOD.Acts 18:9-11 9
"Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the Lord, but SERVE THE LORD WITH ALL YOU HEART;
And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
