Bless the Lord!

Psalms 103:1-5 KJV
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Praise God! He loves us and does so much for us even though we don't deserve it!

Sometimes it may not always feel like love because it doesn't happen the way we think it should, but it is love nonetheless.

He forgives all our sin. It isn't that He only forgives some of it or that He picks and chooses. He forgives all.

He heals all diseases. This is one that people might debate. We know people die from cancer or even the latest, the coronavirus; however, if that person is a child of God, then even in death, they are healed. They are pain free and healthy for eternity.

He redeems our lives from destruction. If we continue in a life of sin, it will lead to destruction whether here on earth or eternity in hell. He saves us from all of that!

He shows us loving kindness and mercy. Even though we don't deserve to be treated with mercy, He gives it anyway. He loves us beyond measure.

He blesses us with good things. Sometimes we may not initially see that gift as a good thing, but He always desires the best for us and knows what we need. Through something may be difficult doesn't mean it isn't good.

He renews our strength. There are times when we feel we can't go on, but He helps us. He sends comfort and encouragement through His Spirit and/or the people around us. We were not designed to live this life alone and with Him, we are never alone.
