As a member of the created order, how can we look at something as beautiful as this wildflower and explain away the Creator? Why do we forget His abundant and overflowing love for us? How do we so easily forget the death and resurrection of the One Who loves us unconditionally? How do we think we are gods ourselves? We sin. We fall away from the ultimate Lover. We become prostitutes like the wife of Hosea. Yet, we are loved.
We spit in the face of the One called Love, yet He loves us all the more. His love is unconditional. His acceptance of each person in the essence of who they are is unconditional. But His salvation is conditional. It is only one, easy condition. We must believe that Jesus is the One and Only way to God. He is God. There is no other God but Him. Once He gives us the grace to believe, we are sealed, saved, HIS forever.
Ponder the One who cares enough to give beauty to nature. How much more does He care for the crowning masterpiece of His created order? Humanity in its whole and humanity in each of its individual parts. He loves you. He loves me. This love is more than we can ever comprehend in this life.
Truth? God is more true than anything in existence, now, in the future, or ever in the past. Love? God IS Love. Do you want to have life? My friend, consider Jesus - the Giver and Creator of life itself. Do you want purpose, joy, satisfaction, and hope for the future? Do you want to give your life to the One Who gave you yours to begin with? Who are you living for anyway? Consider the reason you just took a breath of air. He loves YOU.
Consider it. Breathe it. Live it. Die to yourself. LIVE FOR CHRIST.
