What God's love is

Tweet

Have you ever wondered what it must have been like for Jesus to love them so much but they wouldn’t listen. Do you ever wonder what it must have been like for him to bless them when they would curse him, do good to them that hate him, and pray for them that despitefully use him and persecute him. God gave them a gift but because it wasn’t when they wanted or the way they wanted it they tried to toss him aside. I am not perfect but I am beginning to understand what it must have felt like for him. They prayed and God answered but they turned down the inheritance that they were due because of their lineage. Like rebellious children they sought after worldly desires listening to the devil as their father instead of those that were close to God and putting their faith in God and what he was doing. When he stood upon the hill in the light they didn’t rejoice with him and join him but stayed in the dark lowest places and tried to pull him down to where they were. God’s love is mercy and patience. I am struggling for patience, it is hard, and mercy I have tried to show already. They say they don’t want to go back to the past but their actions show that’s exactly what they want. The devil has blinded their eyes so they don’t even realize that the future is being built right now by God. Sometimes the devil gets a hold of me too and I want to give up and run. He whispers in my ear also. saying how they don’t care, I am wasting my time, I am never gonna make it. He is right, because if it was me alone I would have quit. I would have ran, but praise the Lord, God has given me strength, he has shown me mercy, he has shown me all the bad that can happen if I give up he warns me of the road ahead. I constantly have to keep my focus daily not to slip off the ladder and fall back down inside the basement. As much as I love them and would give them my very life for them I can’t forget I have to reach that sunny hillside. All I can do is hope and pray that God gives me the strength to keep climbing. I hope and pray when I do make it to the top and out on that hill they will be standing there with me. You don’t have to listen to me, just listen to those that are close to God and you will know what the truth is. Don’t argue with what God is doing but try to stay focussed on what he is doing and you will make it to the top of this ladder also. There are no steps or stairways to heaven, don’t let the devil fool you it’s a hard ladder to climb and very slippery if you don’t keep your focus. The first steps are easy but to get to the top you can’t chase after the world you have to keep climbing. I hope and pray that anyone who reads this will let it soften their heart turn aside the things of the world and put their focus on the ladder that has to be climbed. God bless you all.
