For God so loved the world that he gave his one
and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal
life. For
God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the
world through him. -
John 3:16
& 17
Over the centuries, religion has painted a
dreadful picture of God. This is true because God indeed is awesome and
dreadful. He is God all by Himself and is to be reverend, He is everything
religion claimed He is and more.
However that is only one side of the story,
beyond the awesomeness and the dreadful acts, God is love. He loves the world
so much, He gave his only son.
The world Jesus came to die for wasn’t a perfect
one. God didn’t love you because you’re perfect; you’ve got access to
perfection because He loves you.
Sometimes we shy away from God because we dread
his standards and judgment, truly his judgement is dreadful and His standards
are high. He can punish the body and then condemn the soul to hell. In all
these, nothing compares to his love, compassion and mercy.
God loves you not because you’re good enough, He
loves you regardless. Your acceptance of His love puts into you the seed of all
goodness.
Stop running; you can’t outrun Him. Simply come
back home. May the father’s love guide you home in Jesus’ name.
