God is love<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nGod loves you and me … his love is not like human love, but it is unconditional, not bound to our love or dependent on our love in its traits …
\nHe loves you no matter who you are, what you are, what you have done wrong or right, what you think of you or others and whether you are good or evil … He loves you without ever expecting anything. We humans often rely on other people we think to love very high standards … we want to be loved back as we expect and think we deserve. This is often associated with many disappointments and soul suffering. But that’s not how God’s love is … His love for you never stops. Why can I write something so bold to you? … because God Himself vouches for it in His Word, and because His Son, Jesus Christ, on the cross of Golgotha, has sealed that covenant of love in His blood again. How is God’s love in his essence … his love is sacred and is completely different from the profane of this world, but for you today and for the future to experience.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span>The Son of God, Jesus Christ, came into the world as a savior. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In John 3 Verses 16 and 17 we read:
\nFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world, that he might judge the world, but that the world might be saved by him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nSo God loved you so much that his son went to the cross on behalf of your sins. He has always loved you thus, without experiencing your love, which shows itself by obedience to his word and commandments. This love never stops, even if you do not return it. Because God does not force anyone to love him.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nThere are two levels to experiencing and sharing the love of God Himself.
\nWe personally accept the sacrificial death of Jesus on the Cross and make Him the Lord of our lives and follow Him by allowing us to be guided and changed by His Holy Spirit. The vertical, the heavenly plane. We love our neighbor … the horizontal, the human-level: both levels are distinctive features of a true Christian. Not just words but actions. Do not just sit in a pew but be active yourself. Not just like a parasite sucking full, but even become a giver and servant. The Lord bless you as you continue to seek the truth.<\/span><\/p>\n

I can not force you to love me
\nIf I wanted, I could take the light.
\nA shimmering piece of paper, crumple it in my fist.
\nAnd then, it would be night.
\nIf I felt like it, I could destroy the day with fire.
\nWarm my hands on your charred hopes.
\nWith the slightest movement of my arm, a flicker of my will
\nSweep you and all darkness.
\nBut I can not force you to love me.
\nCan not force you to love me.
\nCan not force you to love me.
\nI can not do you, I will not, you can not
\nforce me to love.
\nIf I wanted, I could pick up the sea.
\nEverything would be a blue-green tablecloth.
\nDiscover lost, forgotten things.
\nUnwritten poems.
\nIt would be easy to revive the bones
\nof men who never thought to see their homeland again.
\nI have awakened a shipwrecked person.
\nThe story of that salvation, that homecoming
\ncould prove that you are important to me.
\nBut even if I LOVE YOU LOVE the sea and the
\nCan write heaven
\nCan not I force you to love me
\nCan not force you to love me
\nCan not force you to love me
\nI can not, do not become, can not force you,
\nto love me.
\nI can be a father, a brother, a shepherd, a friend.
\nThe rock, the door, the light, the creator, son of man
\nImmanuel, Redeemer, Spirit, the First and Last,
\nLion or lamb.
\nI can be the master, the lord, the way,
\nthe truth, the life
\nBread or bridegroom, Son of God, I am, Yahweh
\nSavior, judge, headstone, grapevine
\nKing of kings, Liberator, Morningstar
\nAlpha and Omega, Jesus, Rabbi, Carpenter or Morning Dew
\nServant, teacher, sacrifice, flower in Sharon
\nI can – let me – be crucified for you.
\nBut I can not force you to love me.
\nCan not force you to love me.
\nCan not force you to love me.
\nI can not, I will not,
\ncan not force you to love me … \u2665 by Adrian Plass<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
