God loves You
DAILY VITAMIN
Some days back, i woke up with this consciousness that God loves us all. Prior to now, i used to think He loves only the obedient and righteous, but while that may be true, God loves everyone, even the sinner; and that's why He is willing enough to wait for their return- for love is patient (1 Cor 13:4). He is like a person who has life that he could have hoarded, yet without pleas from the external environ, rally around to make sure everyone has a bit of the same. In our world, the rich don't willingly share all their riches to their society, rather they pile it up, and give a bit under the banner of philantrophy, but God..... He gives it all. He gives all His life, all His love, all His peace if only we'd receive. The problem isn't that He isn't stretching out His hands, He always does, rather it is that we aren't stretching ours in response. So, know that God loves us all. Our faults may pin down that love, but it never really kills it (2 Sam 14:14). God does this as a solemn duty in response to His dear Son's request. Jesus prayed " I in them and You in me, all being perfected into one- so that the world will know you sent me and will understand that you love them as much as you love me.....And I revealed you to them, and will keep on revealing you so that the mighty love they have for me may be in them, and I in them" (John 17:23-26 TLB). According to John, that was Jesus' last long prayer before His death; to show just how much those who believe in Him mean to Him. Thus, i don't know what you did yesterday, what you've done today, or what you will do tomorrow, but as much as you believe in Jesus, even though sometimes it seems hard to complement the life perfectly despite trying hard, God chooses to love you. I may judge you, condemn you, but God doesn't, instead He uses every second to ensure His grace completely draws you in, even as He continues to love you enough to make sure He makes you more like Himself. Hence, always remember that regardless of today, you are always loved, and always will be- for love always hopes and perseveres (1 Cor 13:7 NLT). You owe it to yourself to simply embrace it by living in it!
