The Overwhelming, never ending, reckless love of God

 

When we love others we give, we don't give only materials things, but we give our time, our service, sometimes our vulnerability. I am yet to see anyone who truly loves and didn't give. We give because love gives, likewise when we fall in love with God we give up old habits that don’t please God, we give Him our lives and our hearts completely. God loves us,


and with His love He gives everything, He is not cautious about His giving, He doesn’t think 'what if they never appreciate it,' 'what if they don’t realise how much I love them' what if they never give their lives to me' or 'what if they take me for granted' , yet He gives us His love so extravagantly , so overwhelmingly and so recklessly.

God gave His only begotten son- God didn’t spare His only begotten son whom he loved so much. He sent him to die a gruesome death just because he loves us so much, and he wanted to redeem us back to himself.

He gave us life: God gave man His breadth and breathed life into man.

He gave us His Holy Spirit- God wanted us to have the fullness of Him here on earth, so he gave us His Holy Spirit.

He gave us the Word

He gave us Victory

He gave us Blessings (Abraham’s blessing)

He gave us Eternal life

He gave us Salvation

He gives us Wisdom

He gives us Power to withstand the enemy

He gives us Strength to keep pushing to the end

He gives us Gifts and talents that we may fulfil our divine purpose.

He gives us Honor

He gives us Peace

He gives us Soundness of mind

He gives us His Mercy

He forgives us our Sins

He gives us Corrections when we are wrong

He gives us Joy

He gives us Boldness and courage

He gives us Knowledge

He gives us Fellowship with himself and others

He gives us Protection

He has given us the Kingdom of heaven

He gives us Edification

He gives us LOVE

God is the source of ALL the good in the world because every good and perfect gift is from above coming down from the Father.  James 1:17

God will never leave us or forsake us.

'So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture: They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one. None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.'Romans 8:31‭-‬39 MSG

The Yoke of the Ox...

The oxford dictionary describes a yoke as a wooden crosspiece that is fastened over the necks of two animals and attached to the plough or cart they are to pull. It is used to join two oxen together so that there can be unity in what they are doing and they get the job done faster. The yoke is usually custom made and carved to fit the shape of the neck of the ox. When a farmer wants to train a younger ox, he does it with an older ox who understands what to do and is experienced, because the older ox has been allowed to grow to full maturity, so it is the best partner to be yoked with, it is reliable and it will teach the younger one how to pull, how to settle down under the yoke and how to be efficient. The younger ox is just supposed to submit to it and follow the older ox’s leading, but sometimes it is half in and half out of the yoke and not completely under it because it doesn’t want to be yoked (that is to submit and follow the older ox’s leading) and this leads to huge scars ...

WISE BUILDERS

The Oxford dictionary describes a building as a structure with a roof and walls, such as a house or factory and a temple as a building devoted to the worship of a god or gods. When Solomon built the temple of God, to show reverence to God the building was built in silence, the stones were very costly, carefully hewed and cut to dimension and made ready at the quarry before being transported to the temple site where they would fit perfectly together(1 Kings 5: 16-17; 6:7). The temple that Solomon built no longer exists, it was destroyed by the Babylonians because the children of Israel became rebellious to God and the presence of God no longer dwelt there. God is building a new temple, we are this new temple of God. The temple of God is a living house composed of living stones its building has an architect and that architect is God Ephesians 2: 20- 22 20  having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone, 21...

Be Still and know that He is God

Reading the bible sometimes I often wondered why some people didn’t ask God for forgiveness after God passed a judgement on them, they just accepted it without any attempt to beg or anything. How will you feel if you scolded your child and told him he was grounded and he said very casually ok no problem, will you not feel insulted that the punishment didn’t even make him apologise? Take another instance if you worked in an organisation and the boss queried you and passed judgement on you because of your poor performance and you know that organisation has a very good reputation people hustle to work there, the pay is fantastic and the boss is known to be the most generous boss ever , he has a reputation of being extremely loving, caring, kind , generous ,and good, he likes excellence and hard work and you know you obviously didn’t do a great job, will you get offended with that boss and leave the job instead of humbling yourself and apologise promising such will never happen aga...
