God’s Love will always draw you back in fellowship with Him. Once you return to Him , you will find out that He has been waiting for you all the time!Please Read: John 15:13; Luke 15; Matthew 22:37-39; Jeremiah 31:3; Songs of Solomon 8:6
Dear Friend,
I am quite sure by now you know the kind of love Jesus is referring to when He commands us to love God with all our hearts, souls, minds and love our neighbor as ourselves. There are three kinds of love. The one that originates from the heart, one that originates from the head and the one that originates from the hand. Specifically Jesus is referring to the love that originates from the heart which proceeds from God and is preoccupied with the things that pertain to God. That kind of love draws its strength from God and is never-ending. Thus for as long as one is securely connected to God in a moment by moment fellowship, one is sure to receive the grace to love. The love that originates from the head has ‘me’ in mind. Whatever action of love is performed must be beneficial to me. Love that originates from the hand is a response that meets a natural need.
God will never ask you to do something He will not do. The bible says He loves us with an everlasting love. His mercies towards us are new every morning and because His compassion does not fail we are not consumed. He will make sure that we are not defeated under any circumstance. The love that God has for us is that which originates from the heart. It is the kind that it is willing to extend itself even when it is inconvenient to do so. It is willing to deprive itself of things it needs, in order that it may meet the need of another. That kind of love is so strong that it has a lasting impact on its recipients. When people are confronted with the unfailing love of God every barrier, or bondage they may have are broken. Love is as strong as death. Love has the power to put death on hold by transforming weakness into strength!
The story of the prodigal son in Luke chapter 15 shows us how nothing we do can separate us from God’s love. The son left the house of his father but he did not leave the father’s heart. Everyone of us has a permanent place in the heart of God our father. No matter what you may have done you can return to Him. Before the prodigal son got to him, the father ran to kiss him and performed a feast to celebrate his return at the dismay of his older brother. You see God is interested in you coming back into fellowship than staying away because of the sins of your flesh. Once you return, He will take care of those weaknesses if you let Him. The father is more concerned about the thousands that are lost and He has been waiting patiently for them to come back.
No matter where you are in life do not let your weaknesses or challenges debar you from experiencing the ever flowing love of God. All you need to do is to let Him know you are back!
