Relentless Love 08 April

To all my beloved brothers and sisters,
I recall sometime ago asking God something, " why did you place such difficult people around me?"
Its really crazy... some people in my life that i've met are really beyond my capacity to handle.
But today i realize, many times it is not that God put difficult people around us,
But God place us around them, so that He can show His love through us to them!
God wants me to learn how to love them as how He loved us.
We live in a very graceless world, and often we are too self centered. We forgotten that we are to be like Christ, grace givers
unto others. Yet we want to hold people accountable for their wrongs, we demand people to reach
a certain kind of standard, need to fulfill a certain sets of laws...
Christians don't work that way... grace abounds to us so that the world could recognize God's grace and love isn't it.
God loves you unconditionally and faithfully...
Have you been rejecting God over and over in your life?
Or are you prostituting yourself to other gods in your life?
Remember that it hurts God like hell that we choose to love other gods then GOD alone..
Is there any idol in your life you are struggling to let go?
Have you been dealing with difficult people in your life? Have you been placing judgment and law on them?
Remember God's love and grace to you. We are ministers of God's grace, messengers of God's love.
Forward this love to them.
God's msg:
Repent to Uproot
Replace to Take Root
Revive to Bear Fruit
Then the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is loved by a lover and is committing adultery,
just like the love of the LORD for the children of Israel,
who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans." (Hosea 3:1)
No human can comprehend God’s love for His_children! Our limited experience of human love hinders us from understanding God’s unconditional love for us. We can see a picture of this love in the life of Hosea.Hosea was a righteous man, but God told him to marry a sinful woman. Hosea obeyed and took Gomer as his wife. He cherished her and treated her with dignity and respect. Never before had Gomer experienced this kind of love, but she soon grew dissatisfied. She began giving her affections to other men. She became so involved in adulterous pursuits that finally she abandoned Hosea altogether. Other men used her until she had nothing left to give. Then they sold her into slavery. After this, God gave Hosea an amazing command: “Go and buy her back.” Despite the intense pain and hurt that Gomer had inflicted on him, God told Hosea to forgive her and to pay any price to bring her back into his home.
God’s message is clear: When we reject Him and turn our devotion elsewhere, our rejection carries the same pain as an adulterous betrayal. After all God has done for us, it is incomprehensible that we should reject Him. It is even harder to fathom that God could love us even after we have rejected, ignored, and disobeyed Him. Yet God’s love is completely different from ours. His love follows us to the depths of our sinfulness until He has reclaimed us. His love is undaunted when we run from Him, and He_continues to pursue us. What incredible love He has demonstrated to us!
