Revisiting one of my friends old blog posts, I wondered how God manages to love us. How does he continue to love humans, day in, day out, even with the atrocities we commit, and our continued ignorance of his grace, power, and his majesty? As a man, I would have given up on us thousands of years ago. Yet, he in all His awesome wonder continues to love us. It's mind blowing! It makes no sense! We have done nothing to deserve His love, and yet he continues to love us even when we blame things on him, yell at him for not stopping the bad stuff. We refuse to be humble, in front of the God of the universe.
This happens every day, except Sunday. We put on our masks, waltz in "holier than thou." We judge the people there, labeling them "fake" when we ourselves have no right to judge. We are only human. We all mess up. We all make mistakes, screw things up. We love to build ourselves up, by pointing out others mistakes. Making their mistakes seem greater than our own, so we feel we have not done as much wrong.
And still God loves us. Amazing, isn't it?
I challenge you, the reader, go, and do something to earn the love you were given. Go, show others the love God has bestowed upon you.
