That is a mouthful of truth and love Dan!
O what a Saviour we have in Jesus!
This world is such a thankless,selfish,and prideful place.Filled with people who do not even have a clue! They are so full of themselves, and the lies from the NA's, that they have allowed their brains dissolve into mush!... And mush they push!... And when we, the servants of God, don't fall for their bowl of garbage, they are, (to use their adopted phraseology), offended. HA! What a joke! And if it weren't so serious I really could have a good laugh.
But they have listened to the lies of this world, and have been entertained by them for so long, that their brains can no longer think for themselves. If they would just stop hugging trees, feeding birds, (that God already feeds)and closing down entire roads, just so butterflies can breed, and get their heads out from between their legs, some of that life giving blood might start going back to their brains, and revive them. If they would only stop worshipping the created and consider the creator, our God, the creator of all things good, would open their eyes and they would be blind no more.
Then there are those who openly, and rebelliously curse and attempt to dethrone God....And I won't give them the effort of writing another line!....
All these people have chosen another way. In spite of the love, and abounding grace that our Father offers them they have chosen to turn their backs on Him and embrace satan, their deceitful master of death.
And unless they choose to stand up to satan and his wicked lies, and turn back to God, they will have secured their final miserable destiny. And together with their god of death, they will be cast into the lake of fire.
You know Dan, my heart is filled with sadness for God, when I think of how our Father loves us, how He became flesh, and came to dwell among us to show us that love. How He gave of Himself, and became a living sacrifice,to be tortured and murdered, just so that we might have life. It saddens me, for God,.... to know that there are those who will not now, and some, not ever, who will reach out and accept that love, grace, and mercy. It saddens me for God our most loving Father.
It's sort of like the rebellious teenager, one of many children, who was pampered, loved, nourished, and provided for all his life, by a caring responsible father. And then one day the kid decides that there are too many rules in his house, and he wants no part of them. So he picks up all his cares and woes, and heads out to the nearest Big Daddy who will show him the real ropes. He soon finds out that he was deceived by his new big daddy! This life he is now living, partying, games, and good times, does have a rule....follow me and you end up in the gutter!
And so the worried, loving, heart sickend father who diligently continues to search the streets everyday, and who cries himself to sleep every night when he is not found, never gives up hope that his most treasured son will someday come home.
How much more,God our Heavenly Father is hurting... who cares about us,and loves us so much more than any flesh father could even begin to imagine?
Matt 7:7-11
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
How much more indeed.!
Have a good day Dan,
Shalom...><>
