Gods' love for me, my love for HIM

Scripture
The Lord will create over all of Mt Zion & over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over all the glory will be a canopy. It will be a shelter & shade from the heat of the day, & a refuge & hiding place from the storm & rain. Isaiah 4:5-6

Observation
Isaiah introduced our Messiah, Jesus Christ, who is the Branch of the Lord. Jesus came to die for my sin. He is here to save me from my past and his forgiveness and death has free me from my blemishes, my weaknesses. To those who remains in Jerusalem/Zion, will be called holy. The above depicts my beloved Fathers' character. Indeed, Father, you are love. You protects me from danger. You assure me that though all else fails, YOU ARE RIGHT BY MY SIDE. Papa, you are the LIGHT in my life. Whenever I need you, YOU ARE HERE WITH ME during the toughest moments of my life. Your WORDS will stand firm till the end of days though the foundation of the earth has long gone.
