God’s wonderous love he has for his children, whom is us and how he desires for us to know that his love for us is great.
Love, what a great 4 letter word that holds so much meaning, power, wonder, and greatness behind it. It means that whomever you love and whomever loves you are willing to do so much for and spend time with in order to understand them more. There are different types of love, there is the bad conditional love when you only love them when they do certain things, and then you have the unconditional love for people. Then we have only loving those who we deeply know and spend time with or loving anyone and everyone despite if we know them or not. Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior’s love for us so great that he took the penalty for our sins for us in order to know his love and to live with him for eternity. He did this so that we may know God’s love and desire for intimacy with us in order to be with him and to understand his heart and will. God’s love for us so great that we are called the “Apple of his eye”, that he treasures us greatly as his creature, and not just that, his children as well. It was out of love that we were created and formed by God in our mother’s womb in order to have a soul and designed to live with him for eternity.
All God wants us to do is to come to him like a child, asking for things in petition, listen to him when he wants us to do something, rely on him for sustenance, and allow him to protect and love us. It really shouldn’t be so difficult for us, yet because of sin, we are born with our hearts already being deceitful to us. That’s why it’s called being re-born with The Holy Spirit in order to find his love, will, and desires for our lives. The Holy Spirit cannot be tricked, guilted, or coaxed into doing things since he is only concerned about God’s will. God gives us this Spirit out of love in order to keep us on track in order to stay righteous and as a confirmation of our adoption into his family as his sons and daughters. We will experience God’s love, grace, and generosity many times over and will see it happen to other people as well.
With this, we may get envious since he seems to be more generous to someone else by blessing them more or quicker even though you have been going through so much more and for much longer. We should use these as examples and encouragement in order to keep trusting in God knowing he has forgotten about us since his love for us is great. If he has promised you something, he will do it in his timing and in his way, you just have to remain faithful knowing that his love for you is still the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Keep your hope in him like Job did when he was going through horrible times in his life. Job was a righteous man and yet God allowed the enemy to do anything but to take his life to test his faith. May be you are going through a test and you are proclaiming that it isn’t fair and you want to plead your case in some way to God; we can do that through prayer.
We can ask through prayer why some things are happening and why we are going through it in order to change our life. We may or may not get an answer to that at all from God, this doesn’t he has abandoned you and left you to your own devices or doesn’t love you. He is and ever present help, his eyes are still on you, and his love is still with you to ensure your protection and peace within him. Keep trusting in him like Job and he will restore you and will show you that he never left you to yourself while keeping you under his wings for protection. There are more things happening spiritually that we cannot see physically that he is keeping us safe from, and the few things he allows physically is because he knows we can handle it.
In hard times, go to him in prayer and allow his everlasting love to overwhelm your weary heart and soul. Allow him to refresh you through his love and peace, you may still have the struggle, however now you have the energy to keep pushing just that much longer. Allow his love to guide, protect, provide, nourish, nurture, and shield you from anything and allow you heart to know it. Making his love known to your heart will help in numerous and wonderous ways for us daily. Trust him and allow his love to sink in and flood your heart in order to pour out to others and yourself along with his peace and forgiveness. Do this and know everything is in his hands and is going to Okay, in due time you will see the reason to all of this, and help others as well who are suffering, Amen!
