Part 47 The Goodness Of God! ''Or are you [so blind as to] trifle with and presume upon and despise and underestimate the wealth of His kindness and forbearance and long-suffering patience? Are you unmindful or actually ignorant [of the fact] that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repent (to change your mind and inner man to accept God's will)?'' Rom 2:4. Amp. The thought that came to me very strongly early this morning is that it is the goodness, the kindness & the forbearance o !od" #hich is the #ay $e has planned to %ring us to repentance" this is the intention o the loving" %eautiul" caring o the $oly &pirit to introduce us to a !od that has loved us rom the oundation o the #orld or the disruption of the cosmos.

Another very good riend o mine happened to have his tape recorder turned on & recorded all" this is the very end o the message. ''herefore saith the +ord. ,ear not for thy God that dwelleth# that dwelleth in thee is Almighty - .is word is sure - .is promise is secure.
