His Amazing Love
And the LORD was pleased with the sacrifice and said to himself, "I will never again curse the earth, destroying all the living things, even though people's thoughts and actions are bent towards evil from childhood."
[Genesis 8: 21 (NLT)]
[Genesis 8: 21 (NLT)]
Well, I'm still in the book of Genesis, so I'm going to start here for my first meditation.
To me, this is a powerful verse. The 'sacrifice' the verse is refering to is the sacrifice of animals for the Lord God by Noah, just after he exited the ark after the storm. And God was pleased with his offering. Thus, this shows that Noah loves God and God loves Noah too. Then, God made a promise to himself that he will not destroy living things, EVEN THOUGH WE ARE BENT TO EVIL FROM CHILDHOOD! Why?
Because God loves us! Simple!
God cares for us, even though we don't have a pure heart for Him. Even though one may be blinded from Him by anything, He still loves that person! However, the difference is in salvation - the person who doesn't believe in Christ and does not love Him will not receive salvation.
Still, God loves us - for WHO we are, and NOT WHAT we are! God knows that everyone, except Jesus Christ, was born to this Earth with sins already in us. But His Amazing Love dwells in us despite the sins, for He has chosen to make us Himself. If He doesn't love us, why did He choose us?
There's only one thing to do to repay His love: Love Him! Like Noah, we have to love God like He loves us! We must have the burning passion to be closer and closer to Him day by day. That's the key to relationship - not only with God, but with anyone. How to be close to God? The most basic thing: Pray! Make Him be a part of everything that you do! For He wants you to follow His Way. His Way is Love! And love through whom? Christ Jesus, that's whom! The Holy Son of the Lord God! Love Him, Love His Son! That's why this blog is named: One Way - Jesus!
I really thank God for showing His Love. He opened up my heart. So, let Him open yours!
God Bless You!
