“While life on earth offers many choices, eternity offers only two: heaven or hell. Your relationship to God on earth will determine your relationship to him in eternity. If you learn to love and trust God’s Son, Jesus, you will be invited to spend the rest of eternity with him. On the other hand, if you reject his love, forgiveness, and salvation, you will spend eternity apart from God forever.”

God loves, delights, gets pleasure, rejoices, enjoys, and even laughs!

The Bible says, “To worry yourself to death with resentment would be a foolish, senseless thing to do.”
