Sitting here ... needing to head to bed and still can't shake the feeling that there is so much more to be said ~
So here it goes ... The love of God for each one of us is undeniably the Greatest Love to be had ... in fact it is so Great it is Priceless!
Meaning you & I could NEVER PAY the PRICE for Gods LOVE!!!
That being said here is the best thing to know about this Great Love ... God gives this LOVE to us FREELY!!!!
That bears repeating so here it is again pay attention will ya??? GODS LOVE is FREELY GIVEN to US ... IT IS PRICELESS meaning we could never Pay for it yet HE Gives it to us for FREE!!!!!!!!
Okay that is great, I mean something we could never afford to purchase is given to us for free how incredible is that??? But here's the sad news :( so many people are hung up by lies about God, about this gift He has given us that they never accept this gift of Gods Love for themselves. Big huge sad face here. I've been seriously dwelling in the place of growing closer to God based on basking in His Love because that is where I can honestly be free ... free from any of my past mistakes, sins, or whatever title or word best describes the garbage that passed as my lifestyle on this earth before accepting Christ as my Lord and Savior. Free to enter into forgiveness, not only for myself but for everyone else whether I've met you or not. You see God has been showing me how because of His great gift of His Love ... that when we enter into a relationship with Him, asking Him to be in control, to have our back so to speak ... when we enter into that close relationship with HIM as our Lord and Savior we gain the ability to lean on HIM for His great love for others ... including those individuals we might otherwise despise.
In my prayer time I am constantly drawn to pray for the children around the world who may be living in abusive situations ... this prayer often ends in my sobbing for them to be covered by Gods love, grace and mercy so that they not only survive the abuse they are subjected to but that they grow strong in the Lord to be a part of His Kingdom, and that they are set free from the damage the abuse could cause them ~ even possibly keeping them from entering into a healthy relationship with God. When I am praying for these precious children ~ whom I fully believe God LOVES and CARES about ~ I then find myself sobbing for the lost souls that are subjecting the children to the abuse. For you see God Loves them as well. God recognizes that SIN has them bound, and unless they are set free they are headed for Hell. For an everlasting separation from God for all eternity. I see and understand Gods compassion and mercy that is offered freely to them both the abuser and the victim. For God so LOVED the World that HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON .... yes HIS SON gave up HIS life Freely for me and for You ... whether we are victims of abuse or not ... even if we are abusing others or not... HE LOVES US and has paid the price for us to be set free from the sin that keeps us from being Heaven bound!
Freedom was paid for with a great price. The price of the blood of the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world. Our part is in the acceptance of this gift. Whether you realize it or not ... and trust me the enemy of your soul does not want you to realize this by any means ... when you think to yourself that you do not need to make this decision .. later may never come for those who are facing the choice of surrendering to Gods Love. Today is the day of salvation enter into the shelter of Gods Love and be saved for all eternity. Do not put off until tomorrow the decision to follow Christ for tomorrow is not promised to you!
I just can't stop thinking how so many will be lost forever because they haven't heard the truth of Gods Love for them. And how many more will be lost forever because when they did hear (or read about) Gods Love for them but they couldn't be bothered to make a decision right then and there. (There is no buyer's remorse when you enter into the family of God!) It won't be a rose garden without any thorns that's for sure but you will have strength for each day, you will have comfort when you are mourning and you will have joy unspeakable.
So I encourage you to call on the Lord and be saved ... repent of your sins (we are born with sin and therefore all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God) ... and chose to follow Christ. The Lamb of God who through His shed blood paid the price so that you could be reconciled to God and spend eternity with HIM. or chose to ignore the message of Gods great Love for you and spend your eternity in hell, separated from God forever without end ... the ultimate choice is yours ~ I pray you chose wisely, and I pray you don't put off what needs to be done today!
