"MY sheep LISTEN to my voice; I KNOW them, and they FOLLOW me."
So, what kind of sheep I am?? Uh-Nooo.. However, His love is never fail. NEVER!
God loves us so much. He says it in John 3:16, and He has proven it. He gave His only Son, He reconciled with us, He blessed us even though we are not worthy for it. He loves us and nothing can change it. The thing is He hates our sins. If we compromise sins, that means we choose to disconnect from Him—we choose to create a gap between us and God. Sometimes we believe that we do good things, we serve God, etc you name it.. In fact, we do all of those things because of ourselves. Some people go for mission to certain country without asking God, but they do it because they WANT it.
We are the clay and God is the
Potter, there is no way the clay tells the Potter to make it to be certain
vessel. God has plan for every of us. He knows what to do in us, and still
working on it. But we are the ones who always ruin His work. In Jeremiah 18: 4
states that
“But the pot He was shaping from the clay was
marred in His hands; so the Potter formed it into ANOTHER pot, shaping it AS
SEEMED BEST TO HIM.”
It means, even though we are bad, we break His
heart, we don’t obey Him, we don’t want to come to Him, HIS LOVE REMAINS THE
SAME. He still wants to mold us, IF we want it. If we choose to leave the
wheel, it’s our choice and He will not force us to obey Him.
In 1 John 1:9 also
states that
“IF we confess our sins, He is FAITHFUL and just and will FORGIVE
us our sins and PURIFY us from all unrighteousness.”
That means He wants
to be reconciled with us again, although we broke His heart. BUT, this is NOT
AN EXCUSE to do the same sin. Sin is sin, and the consequence of sin is death. Our
spirit will be dead if we constantly repeat the same sin. We will not be
sensitive enough to Holy Spirit’s awareness, and at the end we feel like God
allows us to do it. Big NO! It’s our decision to be off guard. He never ever compromise
sin, we are the ones who compromise. Again, compromising with sin means walking
away from God.
Our God is an
awesome God. He loves us so much, so that He will never ever force us to follow
Him. He will open our heart and mind, give us conviction by the Holy Spirit,
but option is in our hand. Most of time, God calls us to do something that we don’t
like, again—decision is in our hand to obey and see His wonderful work or stay
in our box and say “You know.. I can’t do it, Lord”. Believe it, if God calls
us to do something we cannot do, be rejoice. That means that we will have
another skill improved! He never calls us without providing what we need.
Remember He is a good God. If we—human being—know how to give, surely He more
than understands how to do it. Nothing can change His love for us.
