He's a Keeper

"How blessed the hearers and keepers of...all the words written in this book!" Revelations 1:3With strains of Auld Lang Syne ringing in the air, I was thinking of which things to change,which things to keep, and which to get rid of in the new year. My husband keeps things for a long time; he saves coats and favorite shirts. He's not a pack rat, but he knows which things he likes and tends to hold onto them.

One thing he, my sons and grandsons, all enjoy doing is fishing. Ben has mentioned that fishing rules have become more stringent. He has to sometimes check and see if a fish is a "keeper". Apparently, fines are heavy for keeping a fish that is undersized, or for keeping too many over the quota for the day's catch.

Isn't that just how God is with His kids? He not only loves us; He also likes us. He knows what He likes, and He holds onto them. It's a good thing for us that there is no quota, and no limit.

Indeed, God is a "keeper". He knows what He likes, and keeps them for a long time: forever. That is good news.
