God’s Love is Present
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
I was thinking this morning how God’s love is not past tense. He continues to love this world and to continue to reach out to those who don’t know Him or those who have strayed. He could so easily let us go but, for some reason beyond my understanding, God still desires fellowship with us. He still desires to snatch us from the pit of Hell. He patiently waits until we get to the end of ourselves. Then He says, “Give Me your burden. You don’t have to carry it any longer.” Why does it take so long to surrender?
I’ve seen how far sin can take a person but I’ve also seen God mercifully extend His hand to those who think they’ve blown it to where God can’t forgive them. Not a chance! “God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
Thank You, Father, for being so merciful and longsuffering. Show me how to be your hands, feet and voice to those who don’t know You to help to loose them from satan’s grasp.
