Romans 5:8 “But GOD shows HIS love for us in that while we
were still sinners, CHRIST died for us.”
The Consistency of HIS Love!
Many blatant attacks
against decent behavior
are led by those who would
soon act as if saints. Then!
For the cameras playing
as though they’re the victims,
such fools display hearts filled
with darkened contempt.
So hard then those crossroads
to yet show Compassion!
What difficult straits they
place others within!
All the while overtalking the
voice which is Reason as if
to drown out why their
hate must relent!
Yet GOD never let up nor
abandoned HIS purchase;
With HIS blood HE bought us.
The Highest of NAMES!
So thank HIM for still bringing
us to our senses,
when we were yet clinging to
Self’s sinful stains!
As HIServant ever grateful for
The ONE spotless LAMB,
Whitney
Devotional: 1 John 4:19 “We love because HE first loved us.”
GOD’s Grace and Mercy, what a pairing of love for us!
Recently I’ve been watching some Youtube videos of car chases where thieves and criminals alike flee a scene.
What’s astounding to me is their remarks when being ordered out of a wrecked car which they just used to endanger the lives of so many other people.
“What did I do?” “You’re hurting my wrists!” With even passengers of theirs trying to film it to get the police officer in trouble.
Watched dozens of these compilations showcasing those who choose wickedness from EVERY nation, tribe, kindred and tongue.
So what is systemic and pervasive about all of their comments is a connecting and common thread is their lack of admitting any sin.
GOD sees us from Eternity past.
Nothing can be hid from HIM and! HE knew it in advance again…from Eternity past!
Trying to hide sin from GOD then is proof of our guilt and then acting innocent is a narcissistic response to HIS love!
So in contrast to those yet clinging to darkness, “Man up!” Be men and women of Integrity who cling rather to those nail-scarred hands!
1 John 4:7 “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from GOD, and whoever loves has been born of GOD and knows GOD.”
Amen and amen.
