We come to God because in His arms we find rest for our weary souls, and refreshed by the blessings He brings. God calls us not on the basis of our tribe or estate, nor because of our pedigree or history but because of the undying love He has for us. This love continues beyond the grave, and leads us into eternity. Wouldn’t any of us desire such a love in a friend? Yet it is Christ that shows us a friendship bound by the blood of the cross for us who believe, and extends beyond any known human affiliation.
But it doesn’t end here. Christ speaks to us who desire His love to come receive. But after we receive to go manifest same. To love as He has loved us.
May God help us be more like Christ. To possess a love so free, bountiful in mercy, rich in righteousness, and one that blossoms in peace. Can anyone love us unconditionally? I think Christ can. Also I think you can, with Christ’s Spirit working in you even as we yield. Then it’s for the glory and praise of God, not us. Because we realise our shortcomings in relying in the flesh, but realise our strength in relying on God as we choose to listen to His voice speaking peace and healing, reaching over us and mightily to the deep recesses of our hearts. Place a demand on the love of Christ and trust Him to guide you to love as He loves.
Consider Titus 2:11-14 says,
“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savio[u]r, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good”.
Christ’s blessings,
Evangelist Israel
