GOD'S ABUNDANT LOVE

The Lord is making it soooooo clear lately that he Loves us, and that is more amazing than us Loving him...

1 JOHN 4:10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

ROMANS 5:8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

ROMANS 8:32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?

Our friends the Hienemanns are such a living example of that right now. Their daughter Aimee (Ah-may) has sparked a huge move of God's love in their lives by his provision for them in their time of need, but also in unifying a huge diversity of people together in prayer for Aimee. And they are abundantly blessed due to their steadfast Faith and Love. They receive and accept God's Love, having full understanding that it can not be earned and/or deserved.

Visit their blog at theheinemanns.blogspot.com for the great updates...

1 THESS 1:2 We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, 3 remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Heinemanns, your daughter is not the only child that is a tesimony to Christ's Loving and Healing sacrifice. There was an amazing testimony from a 8 or 9 year old girl named Alicia yesterday. She came down with a random case of Lyme Disease several months ago and started loosing function in her face. She was in a youth service and she heard the audible voice of The Lord say "Mark 5:34" (audible to the point that she thought it was the person next to her).

And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease."

Within a 3 month period she has been made completely whole and is healed! Praise the Lord, for He is Good, and His Mercy Endures Forever!

Hey Dav and Kathrine,
Thanks so much for all of your prayer and support. We love you guys so much! It has been quite a journey with our little Aimee, but never ever have I felt like God was far away or that He abandoned us. Through the difficult times He was there getting ready to bless us in our darkest hour. Once Lynn and I literally had 13 cents in our checking account and by the end of the week we were blessed with our rent and utilities paid for. Sometimes it is difficult to endure the crazy things in this world, but you are right there is nothing that could separate us from His love. The God that we serve is All Mighty All Powerful and He is always FAITHFUL! I am convinced that there is nothing that we could go through where He does not already have the answer. What He started He will finish! Love you guys so much! Beth Heinemann
