God Is Love
1/23/2008 6:34:47 AM


Heb 10:16-17 "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more."

One who carefully reads the Word of God will understand that this scripture reveals so much about the heart of God. In other places, that same concept includes how God will come and live inside of us: That He will be our God, and we will be His people! Truly, from the very beginning in the Old Testament, God has desired to fellowship with man, who was created in His own image. He created us not so much because He needed someone to love Him and worship Him. The image of us up there spending an eternity sitting on clouds, playing harps, doing nothing but praising and worshiping is not an accurate portrayal of Glory. Certainly, we'll find ourselves singing His praises continually. How could we not? Anything as perfect and wonderful as what God has in store for us is worthy of praise. I once went to a huge church where I kept finding myself saying "Wow!" over and over again. Heaven will make that place, and any other place on this planet, seem like a pig pen in comparison. God isn't some insecure being who had a need to be loved so He created a race of robots to love Him. Just the opposite is true: God created us because He wanted someone to love...not because He needed someone to love Him. He created us uniquely so He could love us all in unique ways. God has so much mercy, grace, blessing, and love inside of Him that He so very much wanted to pour it into somebody, into us. God is love. We couldn't add to that. He wanted to add to us. He wanted people to shower His love upon. We see that in the well-known scripture John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave..." And He's still giving. Those who picture God as some heavenly tyrant who's sitting on His throne, awaiting their submissive love and worship, simply do not understand Him. The Bible says His eyes go to and fro, searching for someone to show Himself strong in, searching for someone to bless, searching for someone to love. Today, let that someone be you!
