Each and every one of us have our time in this life, and some will get tired of the way the world is and how no matter what we try and do things seem to not work out very well til we repent and have all that has held us back is lifted up for God’s mercy and grace is genuine love not anything like the world offers and our soul is then restored! “But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men”.(Titus 3:4-8).
God addresses all we try our lives to do towards his name and has asked us to return to our first love which is him, and the path he has laid out for us to assure a safe return back to him! “I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thy canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent”.(Revelation 2:2-5).
We are never alone no matter how dark a time is in our life as long as we have the light of Christ dwelling in our heart’s. “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope. And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us”.(Romans 5:1-5).
It is written that love is such a strong emotion , it is as strong as death! Our Lord has proved this by the love he has shown by enduring the cross that has brought salvation unto many. “Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned”.(Song Of Solomon 8:6,7).
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life!
