God's Love for Us

welcome back welcome back weeeellccome back!! Hey everyone! Its blogtime (blogtime blogtime say this in a loud announcer voice)...ok good. So I wanted to talk a little bit about God's love for us in our lives. I know there are alot of bad things going on in our world with our country facing issues and politics is worse than ever. Well don't look to the ones above you, look to the Creator and all Powerful King above you. God is desperate for our love. He is begging you and me to give him all we have in our life. I found an amazing poem written by country singer Phil Vassar. I think it really shows the way God feels about his children turning their head against him and causing his heart to crumble. Here is the poem...
THIS IS GOD
Could I please have your attention
There’s a need for intervention
Man, I’m disappointed in what I’m seeing

Hey, This is God
You fight each other in my name
Treat life like it’s a foolish game
Well, I say, you’ve got the wrong idea

Oh, all I’m asking for is love
Well, I’ve seen you hurt yourselves enough
Oh, I’ve been waiting on a change in you

Ya, this is God
I’ve given everything to you
Oh but look at what you do
To the world that I created

This is God
What’s with this attitude and hate
You grow more ignorant with age
You had it made
Now look at all you've wasted

Oh, all I’m asking for is love
Well, I’ve seen you hurt yourselves enough
Oh, I’ve been waiting for a change in you

I know your every thought
Your heart and soul, and every move
There are so many consequences
To the things you do

All I’m asking for is love
Haven’t you hurt yourselves enough
Oh, I’ve been waiting for a change in you
A change in you
This is God

The reason that God desires that we know Him is because He wants us to love Him. Mark 12:30 saysAnd you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. The more we come to know God, the more we come to know love, because God is Love. The more realization and awareness we have of God's love for us the more we will love Him. 1 John 4:19 says We love Him because He first loved us. Keep this is mind as you follow your God. He loved you first and God is all love.
