The Fine Pearl

Seeking Fine pearls

Seeking fine pearl relates to Jesus' illustration in his gospel teachings.  He told his followers another illustration: “The Kingdom of the heavens is like leaven that a woman took and mixed with three large measures of flour until the whole mass was fermented.” Matthew 13: 33, “Again the kingdom of the heavens is like a traveling merchant "seeking fine pearls.” Matthew. 13. 45. The Bible has so much information for all believers to read and believe in the words, yet we could easily miss out on some important points, and there are many great promises of the truth about the bible, yet the bible could be miss-inter-preached, and it doesn’t matter how many times we read the bible, we will still miss out on some valuable important points until someone points us into the bibles perspective, then it becomes an eye-opener for us. The point is this that the bible is like what Jesus said; “Seeking Fine Pearl ”

GOD’S PURPOSE

God's purpose always will work through each and every one of us in our personal lives. This is my personal life journals and learning discoveries about the scriptures and the teaching from the Bible. We could ask ourselves questions like what do I have to do in my life and what does God wants in my life or where should I get help to deal with my problems? 

There is no doubt that God was helping in dealing with my life to look to him and not on my problems. God sends people into my life to help me learn more about him and myself through the Bible. Psalms 18. 34, "He teacheth my hands to war so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. Bible Study October 2016: I started my home visit Bible study journey with two beautiful lovely ladies who came to teach and witness at my place, they love Jehovah God and love to teach the truth about the bible and most importantly sharing and witnessing their knowledge about what the Bible's teaches. How many confusion Christians out there? Do we sometimes stop to listen to God through others who are there to correct us? Or do we even give our time to listen and believed in what God says to us or to hear his accurate information from the bible? A copy of this bible study book was handed to me by one of the Jehovah's witnessing brother but of course, it was out of excuses and reasoning that I didn't pay much attention and did not get around to study the book or even read it, followed by another visit he asked if I did get around to study the book and I said no' I didn't, another excuse followed by another, then again with another man they came around again to visit me, they then ask me if I was a Christian and of course very proudly I said, of course, I'm a Christian! I pray every day, I go to church and I give my life to Jesus! The usual mainstream Christian attitudes. Then a thought came through my mind if only I could study with another sister, not with these two men.  To my surprise the next visit he comes around with a lovely happy smiling sister at my front door, I' thought he must have read my heart, I' was about to make another excuse today by asking him to bring a sister next time, and now he comes around with a sister at the front of my door. I have listened to many Christian faith believers. 

Opposing or criticizing Jehovah's Witnesses: If you are one of those opposing Jehovah's witnesses let me make it clear to you please' do not look at the religion or organization, as I am a supporter of what the scripture says; 2 Timothy 3: 16-17, "All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for settings things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work" I am not telling you to leave your churches and go join Jehovah's witnesses but look at this study Journal as my personal discoveries from the Jehovah's witnessing bibles study representatives to see it through the perspective of the scriptures, that might help change the way you view Christianity in your personal Christian journey. This reminds of Job who answered and said in Job 21.1-3; “Hear diligently my speech and let this be your consolations. Suffer me that I may speak, and after that, I have spoken, mock on.” According to the scripture in 2 Timothy 4:2, “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” Bible studies with those two of Jehova's witnessing ladies were very encouraging, it was listening and reading the scriptures from the Bible's angle, and from the Bibles' perspective point from word to words, it was awesome and great to have those two lovely visitors popping into my home, and when nobody dared to come into my place. I must admit I was so blessed to have them around. We sat down around the table and one of the sisters said a most gentle and beautiful prayer her tone of prayer was very kind and loving towards our loving God,  it was one of the beautiful prayers ever head, an opening prayer was a humble prayer and end it in the name of our Savior King Jesus Christ. It was such a blessing to have Sandu and Cheryl come to my home and witness the bible with me, Sandu was so delighted that they have been invited into my home to witness to me, all teachings were based on the bible chapters and verses from the topic to topic. 

‘What does the Bible Teach?”  They explain to me why they are teaching God's word and that they believed in the scriptures and act on the words and teach out from the bible. They are doing this because what the scripture says, “And he said unto them. Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15. I was willing to learn from the bible teachings as the scripture says; Respond to my reproof. Then I will pour out my spirit for you: I will make my words known to you. Proverbs. 1:23. God was teaching me and helping me to know him well through the scriptures. The problem with many Christian believers is that we think we know it all and we turn to disagree with one another. But let me explain why, the truth about God's words is if the bible says it, we believe it and act on it. We don't argue about other Christians Religions, our faith should be based on God and his begotten Son Jesus Christ and God's words of teachings and not on any person or religion. If we look at religions or people we see many wrongs and we turned to be judgemental about each other. With this bible study journey, I have discovered many interesting topics and as always praying at the beginning and end of each bible study seasons, they would pray beautiful prayers, and in Jesus Christ our Saviors King's name.  Jesus also mentioned that here I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in the spirit and associate with you.

The journey into discovering the bible truth. I was going in and out of churches. I couldn't figure out what my role was in and out of churches. My husband has an area of need professional job that required us to move constantly almost every year from one state to another and even from one suburb to another or from town to another. God was good he provided and natured me with bible studies in and out of the seasons;  “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:” Psalms 23:6. I like these scriptures. "I went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no sense; thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stonewall was in ruins. I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw: Proverbs 24 30:32. I came to a point where I had to apply my heart to the bibles' teachings, it was all about our almighty God and his only begotten son Jesus Christ. I am not a critical or complicated person to listen to or and learn. I like learning and I applied my heart to study what the bible is saying: 

Taking notes on Truths about God: During our meeting, I was jotting down a few personal learning notes taken from our bible study and it was saved for future use. The truth about Jehovah God is that he is our loving and caring creator father from generation to generation to all his children. God is everlasting life and living God, he does not destroy life or kill life but he creates life and loves life, he created us and want us to have everlasting life with him, from a long time ago with the time of Adam and Eve. Our creator Father loves life and it wasn’t his plans to destroy any life or anyone for that matter.

Who was the opposer at the beginning of the creation? Satan! Satan means opposer. The Devil who rebel and oppose God because he wanted to destroy life, it wasn’t God’s plans to destroy human life? The opposer the Serpent was the one that destroys God’s perfect plans, for all humans from generation to generation, and because of that first Adam sins, we are all born into this sinful earth.   

Applying hearts to understanding: When we have questions or doubt who God is and why questions we will get answers from the bible if we search for answers we will find answers. We ask our loving father in prayer and he answers “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Matthew, 7:7. “My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.” Proverbs. 1: 1-5.

God’s creation. The bible called God's creation; (Nation/People or world) as people of the nations or people of the world we all do go through trials, tribulation, and temptation, God is not the one to be blamed for our arrows, or he is not the one leading us into sin or temptations, but God will be the one to set us free, deliver us out and saves us out from all unrighteousness, trials, tribulation, temptation, and mistakes that we make on our journey in life. Christ teaches this prayer, lead us not into temptation but deliver us out from temptation. “When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempts anyone.” James. 1:13. “So listen to me, men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, for the Almighty to do wrong. He repays a man for what he has done; he brings upon him what his conduct deserves. It is unthinkable that God would do wrong, that the Almighty would pervert justice.” Job 34: 10-12. God is love and good all the time and he cannot go against his characters of love, peace, patience, and kindness when he knows the time is right he will act in his own time for us, not our timing.

CHAPTER ONE

Do you really know God?

God is our Heavenly and Creator Father. Like little children they always ask parents so many questions when they grow up they are discovering things around them, the same goes for many Christians we grow in our faith we are now discovering about our heavenly father, and we have questions like; Who is God like? We want to know more about God, we learned that he is a living Spirit and powerful energy alive and living forever and ever. Even before the heavens and the earth was created. God exists and is an everlasting God in Spirit and wonder-working power: In the beginning, was “God” and God alone who created the heavens and the Earth, The Earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep waters, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. Genesis, 1: 1-2, God Jehovah is mighty and powerful, and whatever he thinks and says in his spirit and power the word of his power will come into existence.    

The Spirit of God the power of God was hovering over the waters. In the beginning, was the word, there was nothing on earth, but the spirit of God's power was hovering over the empty space of the universe and because he is God he can do whatever he sets his mind to do, it will come into existence, in the beginning, was the word, and the Word was with God, The same was at the beginning with God, John 1:1-2. Chapter 2 clarifies that Jesus was at the beginning with God. God spoke the word and the word came into existing, Genesis, 1: 3-31, 2. When God spoke all creation came into existence, Jesus was the first man in heaven after all the heavenly angles with God in the beginning. Adam was the first man on earth who ruined God's perfect plan for paradise earth. Jehovah God plans the future again and sent his Spirit Son the second Adam to earthborn into the human body, it happened as how God intended it to be. What the first Adam did was very hurtful to our creator God because both Adam and Eve disobeyed Jehovah, yet God is slow to anger and abundant in love that he sent the second Adam to earth, Jesus Christ his first creation Son was very obedient and more than that to the point of death itself. Jesus Christ comes down to this earth in a human form as it meant to be in this worldly birth system. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hardest formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. Before anything was formed God exists and he still exists from everlasting to everlasting.  Psalms 90:1-2, God is omnipotent, God is Spirit, and God exists from everlasting to everlasting now and forevermore.  God exists before the world was formed and God will remain the same as yesterday, today, and forevermore in his Holy Spirit and Power. Thanks to God' that makes sense to me, He is way beyond anyone’s knowledge and imagination. The Bible answers many questions if we apply our hearts to it and learn from Bible studies and we surely will get answers to many of our questions answers.

Does God have a name? Yes,” Indeed His name is Jehovah, Yahweh” YHWH.

God's name YHWH is unique and special to him alone. God and the LORD were his honorable titles, and there are many character title names about him in the Bible, but this one is the very unique and special name “YHWH”, this one name is mentioned more than any other names in the original Hebrew text than any other names, and because out of respect for his holiness and royalty, we pray to him as LORD or GOD our heavenly father. Just as kings or president are their titles but they have their individual names and they are treated as gods of the earth. What a discovery that God has a name and his name was ” “YHWH” “JEHOVAH” Is an English pronunciation, (King James Version) “Psalms 83:18, That men may know that thou, whose name alone is YHWH or JEHOVAH, art the highest over all the earth. 

God’s name JEHOVAH means that he causes, to become.” Only he has the power to do anything he decides to do. He can fulfill any promise he makes and can carry out any purpose he has in mind. God's name is unique, one of a kind that belongs only to Him.  He is Lord God Almighty. Other Bibles translators translate YHWH' Jehovah as the “LORD” All in “CAPITAL” in place of YHWH or JHVH. Hebrew language. God’s name appears in the original Hebrew text of the Bible nearly 7,000 times written in four letters as YHWH OR JHVH. Likewise, JESUS was also mentioned in Greek as JESUAH but the main pronunciation now in English is Jesus. Jehovah the scriptures also describes him by his many characters like his name. But YWHW Jehovah is his name. 

People all over the world have different pronunciation; others say Yahweh and others' pronunciation is as Jehovah and Iehowah.  I said to our ladies group, Honestly, and all this time, I thought his name was God and Lord Jesus. They showed me to turn to the first pages of the bible front cover of the bible; before Genesis, the first book will be explained there. The Bible translators change “YHWH” to LORD all in capital letters, so as in all other bibles, you will see that” YHWH” was changed to LORD, but still you will see small “Lord” or “God” because it’s his title and even Jesus was called Lord and any kings of the world can be called Lord it a title and not name.

Drawing closer to God: It is possible to get closer to God? Yes, it’s possible; Jesus made a way for us if we ask Him to forgive us of all our sins and renew our lives to know him more and love Jehovah our God. God, will hear us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Because God, first loved us in that while we were, yet sinners, Christ came into this world and died for our sins. God indeed wants us to get closer to him he gave us a way to get closer to him through his only son Jesus Christ and that we should be; (Seeking) reading his words and asking his Holy Spirit to teach guide, and help us to understand the bible, and if we have any question in life matters and issues or problems, the truthful answers will be found in the bible, (Prayer) is about being obedient and acknowledging our father how important he is to our life, asking for anything and forgiveness, we should be thanking God for the life that we have and that we are alive because he loved us, we should be asking for his blessings, healings, and strength in his Holy Spirit. (Knocking) is when we must keep on asking Jehovah our father, through his son Jesus Christ for help and inviting the Holy Spirit and power to exercise our faith in Jesus Christ our savior King to come into our lives. Many of our troubles, fears, and problems that we encounter in our life journey here on earth our mistakes failures, and sins, we must ask him in His Spirit and power to help us, let us not forget that we are not alone, but that we have our fathers love through his son Jesus Christ as our Savior. Jehovah has given his son to the world to believe and trust him. Jesus said; Ask and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 

(Matthew 7: 7) My Son, if thou wilt receives my words, and hide my commandments with thee, so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou cries’ after knowledge, and leftist up thy voice for understanding; If thou sleekest her as silver, and searches for her as for hidden treasures; Than shalt thou shall understand the fear of the LORD. (Prov. 2:1-5,) 

Is God Uncaring and Hardhearted? God is the only most caring Father in the whole entire universe. Many people may ask questions about God and many will have doubts or rebelled towards our loving creator almighty God. Like any parent, a loving father and mother will not stop their children from doing good things in life. It is the parents' responsibility to bring up a child in a good way and a loving way.  Originally our creator God is a good father and we inherited the good life from our good father, we want to impart the good teaching to our children. 

We do have a big problem in the world. The children have their own choices in life to go wherever they wanted to go and do whatever they wanted to do. We all have our own choices in life to choose what’s best for our part in life if things go wrong with their life, it’s not the father or mothers’ faults or even God’s faults. The mistake was their fault that they choose in their part, no doubt we do hurt our parents so badly for bad mistakes or measurable life choices. God feels the same way as our parents are hurting, he feels hurt when we disobey his good instruction and good teachings in the bible for our own good like our children.

It would be unfair to blame God to allow bad things to happen and cause it to happen. God has not yet stop bad things from happening, but we can be sure that God loves us and that we must trust him and infect he is the only one who can solve our problems.  We must know that out of God’s abundant love for his children, he allows mankind to follow a bad cause; God is not responsible for the problems we face all the time. For many believers, God is the solution to deal with our problems. Why do we say God is our savior and Christ is our savior? Because God gives us love, hope, and solution to our problems,O Jehovah, show us the favor. Our hope is in you. Become our arm every morning, Yes, our salvation in the time of distress.” Isaiah. 33:2, this prayer should be our prayer, our hope in him, we shouldn't be blaming God for bad things happening to us or others when we are under trials or tabulations. The bible says that “But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his lust, and enticed.  “When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he try anyone. But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his desires. “James, 1: 13-14. 

God is the most powerful, and honest creator in authority over the whole universe. He has the power to undo the damage that bad people cause. When God acts, he will do it in any way that he likes and for as long as it takes to undo the damages. The bible says that “evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.” Psalm, 37:9-11. The bible does not lie about God, the bible says that God is Holy, Pure, and clean, everything he does is pure. “And one call to another Holy, Holy, Holy is Jehovah of armies. The whole earth is filled his glory. Isaiah 6:3, the bible teaches us that God will bring about changes here on earth. God will wipe out every tear from their eyes. Revelation, 21: 4. The lame will leap like a dear. Isaiah, 35: 6. The eyes of the blind will be opened, Isaiah 35: 5. All those who in the memorial tomb will come out, John 5:28-29, No resident will say I am sick.  The people dwelling in the land will be pardoned for their error. Isaiah 33: 24,

How Does God feels about injustices we face? God’s heart was filled with pain to see wickedness. “Consequently, Jehovah saw that man’s wickedness was great on earth and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only bad all the time. Jehovah regretted that he had made men on the earth, and his heart was saddened.” Genesis 6: 5-6, God cares deeply about what is right and what is wrong. He hates all kinds of injustice. “For Jehovah loves justice, and he will not abandon his loyal ones. They will always be guarded, but the descendants of the wicked will be done away with.” Palms 37:28. Meaning the wicked will be destroyed by their wickedness, God wants us to return to him, time and time again. “For I am Jehovah; I do not change. And you are sons of Jacob; you have not yet come to your finish. Malachi. 3:6, Reads “For you, O Jehovah, are good and ready to forgive; you abound in loyal love for all those who call on you.” Psalm 86:5. Our God is good all the time and he wanted all his children to come to him and ask for his mercy. God created man in His image, God is love, God is kind, and God has his beautiful and appealing quality, for example; God is slow to anger, abundant in love, merciful, compassionate, loyal loving, and truthful. Readings from Exodus 34:6. The opposed Satan does everything opposite to God's good quality of life.    

God wants us to know who he is: God cares so much for every one of us and that Jehovah our God is kind, loving, caring, and faithful God. “Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed, but that all to attain to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9, Imagine if someone who does not want to repent and continues to oppose God and his people, continue with his bad habits and end up in a bad situation or even death. We must be aware that it's not the almighty God that punishes people for their sin to die a premature death and in sudden destruction, the earth is filled with sickness, dangerous people, and weapons that cause life-threatening problems on the lives of many innocent ones to suffer or die, we do always see and hear all that is happening around us, the innocent, the good and the bad will suffer from bad to worse, most times its human errors or bad behaviors and attitudes of others that bring pain and suffering or even worse death itself. How can we blame God for that sudden death and destruction? No, it's not his nature to destroy life! God wants us to know him that he cares for us.  We should reverentially fear God and be in good attitudes as best as we can all the time. “Who will not fear you, Jehovah, and glorify your name, for you alone are loyal? For all the nations will come and worship before you, because you’re righteous decrees have been revealed.” Revelation 15:4. 

Can we be closer to Jehovah our God? Yes indeed! We all can draw closer to God.  “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double-minded. James.” 4:8. Some might say why if God is so good?’ why didn't he hear my prayers for that beautiful married woman, because God knows the answer already, even before you open your mouth to him, or some might blame God for not saving their loved ones from death or destruction? He is all-knowing and he knows the answer before you ask of him in prayers. He knows that you love your loved ones and he too is hurting to see you hurt, Jesus to feels the same way he cried for his loved ones and people who are known to him, and he showed examples of what is yet to come, we all had to endure our pain and suffering because this is the sinful earth.  The glorious time appointed for death and suffering to end has not yet come.

Through all our trials and tribulations we are always looking for a way out of the situation, fast track to avoid the discomfort, most people and including myself will turn to God because we know the reason that “God would help us, and that men would seek him and perhaps search for him in his words to find out more about God, though he is not far from each one of us.” Acts, 17:27, Does all mankind draw closer to God? In our discussion I mention that not all men, some would doubt, some deny, not all mankind will draw closer to God, the problem started from the beginning of Genesis, the spirit of opposer and the seed that has been pass down from generation to our generation to oppose God. People have choices and will continue to believe what they’ve learned from their generation to another generation, and it will carry on and on unless there's a change or turning point of learning to trust the almighty God.

 The bible says that sinners don’t want to acknowledge God or confess their mistakes, and for others, their beliefs have been seared or belief systems that have been pass down from their generation to the new generation, the customary and ancestry beliefs continued. Most people have their gods and their traditional beliefs for their god and even now in our days' others are mixing their beliefs with the Bible truths. Other people cannot believe in true God because of doubt, others think that when we pray we are talking to ourselves or the walls and that nobody is listening, I can prove them wrong, God is listening, the bible says that God is not deaf to hear or blind to see, others may ask questions like if God exists why so many are tragic circumstances happening? The truth is that sin and reasoning separate man from drawing closer to God.  

Drawing closer to God: From my case turning to anyone on earth wouldn’t be a solution for my problems, it’s got to be Jehovah God and God alone in his love and truth. Did I put my trust in anyone or my family members? No! Not even one. My trust, my faith, my hope was all for Jesus Christ and Jehovah God and his teachings in the bible, if the bible says hope in the Lord or believe in me, yes that is right believe in God and believe in Jesus. The bible says it; “That if they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he is not far from every one of us.” The bible said; “Commit your way to Jehovah; Rely on him, and he will act on your behalf. He will make your righteousness shine like daybreak, and your justice like the midday sun”. Psalm. 37:5-6. 

God Jehovah’s awe-inspiring qualities make some people feel a little uneasy, they feel that God is too high for them; they could never get closer to him or even such a lofty God. But this idea is incorrect. God infect is not far off from each one of us, the Bible urges us to get closer to God. 

We can draw closer to God and walk in his Spirit everyday living closer to our loving God, learning about God through our daily bible readings, praying, and asking God for his love and blessings. When we learn about who God is and why Jesus had to come down to earth to lead all sinners back to life everlasting with God, we will then see and learn about his truth.  A beautiful prayer Jesus prayed before his death “Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. “(John 17:3). Jesus in his prayer wanted us to know the true God, the only true God, and his son Jesus Christ whom God sent to this earth. 

God is Love: Jehovah God is so loving and kind and he has many other beautiful and appealing qualities. God is merciful, compassionate, slow to anger, and abundant in loyal love and truth. The bible says; “And we know and rely on the love of God for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.” 1. John 4:16. Moses describes the appealing qualities “And he passed in front of Moses proclaiming. ”The LORD, the LORD the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.” Exodus, 34:6.NIV. “You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call to you.” Psalms, 86 5. “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2. Peter 3:9. “Who will not fear you, O Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.” Revelation, 15:4.

Indeed, we cannot see God because he is an invisible “Holy Spirit” and powerful Almighty God, if we ask of him for his spirit and power he will deposit that power into our inner being, as imitators of Christ Jesus.  The bible say’s “No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. (Jesus Christ) who is at the Father’s side is the one who has explained Him.” John, 1:18 KJV. Take note that Jesus explained his Heavenly Father to us. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.” 1. Timothy 1:17. God our Heavenly Father is the only GOD.

Reading and learning from the bible for this study topic will help us understand and know God as a powerful person. The Psalmist says you can “gaze upon the pleasantness of Jehovah.”  “One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.” Psalm 27:4. (NIV). “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities his eternal power and divine nature have been seen, being understood from what has been made so that men are without excuse.” Romans. 1:20, we read and learn from the bibles’ teachings to think of Jehovah as our Father. The more we read and the more we learn from the Bible the more we want to feel close to our loving God, just as any child would want to be closer to a loving father, who would in return respond lovingly to his dear children.  God is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. Psalms, 36:9.

Just imagine any humans can become a good friend of the Creator of the universe!  It's an absolute honor to be a child to our loving God and be his friend. “The scripture says that, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend.” James. 2:23. Jesus said; it is good to be humble, like a little child. Trust Jehovah God completely. Jesus called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said; “I tell you the truth unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.  Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, “Matthew 18:1-4. “Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” Acts 17:11. The best way to learn about Jehovah God is to examine ourselves and study the bible with humbleness or change of mindset and behaviors like an obedient child to our loving creator the Almighty God.
