CHERISH HIS LOVING-KINDNESS II

All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.

Isaiah 53:6 NLT

Psalms 107:1 NIV says, “ Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” Consider this manner of love that when we were God’s enemies, when we were nothing, He still saw us as sheep that needed a shepherd. He did not see us as monsters, beasts or even stubborn goats, doomed for destruction, rather as innocent, weak beings, as sheep that needed a shepherd! What an honor, what an extravagant love!

He wants us to love one another the same way He loves us. That means instead of seeing one another as enemies, we see one another as sheep, weak and innocent people that need a shepherd, a helper! It doesn't matter if we are born again or not, we are all sheep before God. If you are born again, then you are His own born again sheep. No wonder in John 17:25, Jesus called Him a righteous Father. He already knows what we need.

By seeing one another as sheep, weak, innocent, and harmless, we are seeing us as God sees us. That is how we remain in His love. God is not focused about our love for Him, rather, He wants us to be conscious of His love for us, to remain in His love. For that way we can love one another as He loves us, then our joy will be complete!

In John 15:10-12 NIV , He said, “If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.”

WE BLESS YOU HEAVENLY FATHER FOR YOUR UNFAILING LOVE AND WONDERFUL DEEDS TO MANKIND. PRAISEWORTHY AND EXALTED IS YOUR NAME FOREVER IN JESUS NAME AMEN!

THANK YOU JESUS!
