A Gift from Papa’s Dees Life Notes
The person must not allow fear to dictate their behavior. The reason we are to be fearless is based on the premise of Word-knowledge. God, if we are willing, is guiding each and every moment of our life. In spite of our environment we must pay attention to God’s internal guidance system rather than our external circumstances.
The Lord God chooses us for himself, and calls us into present TRUTH. Once you know the TRUTH you are willing to embrace and love it. The TRUTH is God is LOVE. LOVE is the greatest disciplinarian in the Universe.
The love of God is the only thing that could have arranged such a system of life. God’s love brings humanity together. God’s love designs relationships and fellowship. Each of us is a demonstrated exhibit of God’s Grace and mercy to the human family. All of us know that it is only the Providence[4] of Almighty God that has brought you together.
It’s O.K. for parental influence to have high expectations for their children.[5] Excellence, training, and discipline in the arts and in institutions of higher learning help prepare us for the challenges of life. Children are to unconditionally honor[6] their parents and hold them in high esteem because of the positional relationship that they have in our lives.
All of us know that it is only the Providence of Almighty God that brings us together.
Love in man is God’s greatest governmental system, supporting you through all difficulty. So, whatever problem you may be confronted with, God’s love will take authority over it.
The Apostle Paul penned these words: “I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENETH ME.”[7] What love can’t heal, does not exit! May all secular humanism in each of us submit to love the reigning monarch of all life? When we love as we have been instructed, all unbelief is arrested.

To be “provident” means making provision for the future

Life oftentimes is a meandering[1] path exposing us to unknown facts of life… but, if we are Christians[2], we have nothing to fear, for He will guide our every step[3], regardless of the circumstances.
A person who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus goes through life on earth as one that follows a winding or intricate course. In this course of life God gradually reveals to us the hidden purposes and rules of life.
