True Love

Artist Elizabeth Wang

Oh, how He loves us…
He loves us even when we reject him
He loves us even while we spit on him, mock him, drag him through the streets naked,
And kill him…
He loves us even though we kill each other in times of peace and in times of war
He loves us when we worship other gods committing adultery against him
He loves us while we murder babies, destroy animals and live in perversion and hate
He loves us even though we praise him with our lips but our hearts are far from him…
Oh, how he loves us…even to this day and time…he loves us still…
He loves us when we slander each other and take each other to court, thriving on revenge
While we torture one another and force all kinds of debauchery and death…
God still loves us…
He loves us when we call evil good and good evil
He loves us when we lie and accuse one another…He loves us when we cheat and steal and forget him…
He loves us when we say he doesn’t exist…
He loves us when we are greedy and lazy…
When we sell our bodies and when we sell our souls to the highest bidder…for fame and fortune
God loves us…
When we cheat on business deals…when we curse and live in filth…when we abuse our bodies with drugs and persuade others to follow us into the cesspool of darkness…He loves us when guilt and shame keep us bound chained to despair and succumb to murder…
He loves us when we beg in the streets and use children in all kinds of perversion…
He even loves us when we use His name in vain…
When we disrespect parents and complain unceasingly …
He loves us too much to leave us in these conditions…
But will we Love Him?
He doesn’t love that we do all these things but he loves us in spite of our sin and recklessness…he loves us so much that he gives us a way out…
That way is his Son…who came to this earth…and is with us even today…
Right where you are this very minute…
God the Holy Spirit, is telling you right now, that He loves you…it’s not to late to come to him no matter where you are or what you’ve done…he’s asking you to let go of pride and love him…by accepting him as the person who will take you just as you are…he’ll clean you up…and wash you…and bring you into His family and call you son, daughter. He’ll give you his signet ring, wrap you in a royal robe…He’ll prepare a feast for you and dance with joy that his child has come home. The angels will sing and celebrate like crazy just for you…maybe you’ve never been loved and don’t know what love is…I’m telling you He loves you…OH HOW HE LOVES YOU!
God will wipe away every atrocity and it will be remembered no more…All because He loves You!!! Because God is Love!
God is holy and just…he is merciful and kind…He loves us so much that he gave us a free will…he will not force us to love him back…it’s our choice…
There will always be trials in this life…there will be wars and rumors of war…there will be pestilence and plagues. There will be hate and abuse. We will go through deep sorrow and tragedy. God never intended life to be this way…God has an enemy…he’s been there from the very beginning and he is ruthless, strategic, a liar and cannot love…
We have two choices there is no middle ground…
We are either for the LORD or against him…
He will love us no matter what…but there is only one way to Him…
And that is through his Son Jesus Christ the anointed son of God! (Yeshua)
We will either choose life or death…
Love or hate…
I pray we choose love!

John 3:16-18 The Message (MSG) “This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
