Live His Love

God’s Supreme Power

This is the headline in my bible to Isaiah 45:8-25. The first four verses are kind of convicting to me. It talks about how God created the earth to begin with. The very first verse is full of imagery, I can just imagine the heavens dripping down as if it was a droplet of water. And the clouds being pored out upon the earth. God created it, and it was righteous. Yes, that is completely beautiful in itself. But what really got me was the next three verses. The chapter goes on to question and in a way point out those who question and fight God’s authority. I feel like each one of us do that on a daily basis. He is our Maker, yet we question the very existence and being of Him with our day to day actions. We live in a way that does not always reveal who our Maker is. “Will the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you doing?’ Or the thing you are making say, ‘He has no hands’?” (Isaiah 45:9) This verse rocked my world. I, on a very regular basis, question what God is doing in my life. I wonder and try to find out what God has for me right now. I live in the future rather in the present where God has me. “Today I can stand and say that where I am is where You have placed me to be. So why should I even give the slightest thought of where I’d rather be.” I wrote those words a few months ago during a transition period in my life. It is such a true statement that we as Christians should live by. God is a sovereign God, and whatever is happening in our life right now, is because God has allowed it to happen. God, forgive me for doubting your power and your direction in my life. Allow and help me to trust and simply walk by faith. Knowing that you will lead me and guide me as your word promises. Amen. 

I want

to be able to love on people like they have never been loved on before. Because in all honesty that is what Jesus would do. He loves people that are so unlovable more than humanly possible. We are called to become more like Christ and less like our flesh. My spiritual desire, due to the holy spirit that lives inside of me, urges me to love people the way Jesus does and would if He walked this earth right now. So from this day forward, lets love people in every way possible. You don’t know if you will be  the only love that person receives that day. Whether it is opening a door for them, making them coffee, or something huge, they will be changed in a small way. LOVE. It does big things, Love is what drove Jesus to the cross, Love is what held him there. God rejected and turned His back on His own son, so that He wouldn’t have to turn His back on us. Believe. That is the Gospel.
