What God sees when he looks at each person is someone he wants to be in heaven with him. He sent Jesus to accomplish it.

One of the gifts that God gave to Daniel was dream interpretation. He explained Nebuchadnezzar’s dream which demonstrated the rise and fall of empires. History is God’s story.

Jonah fled from his assignment in Nineveh, not because he was afraid of the Ninevites, but because he was afraid God would save them. God is concerned about every soul.

Some heroes of faith suffered death; others were miraculously spared. Whatever happens to us in our earthly lives, God watches over us to bring us to our eternal joy.
