I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well. (Psalm 139:14)
God didn’t just create us wonderfully and marvelously. He also created us uniquely and extraordinarily.
Incorruptible Word!
Incorruptible: everlasting, not subject to death or decay, not susceptible to corruption, honest, honorable, trustworthy, high-principled, moral, ethical good, good, virtuous, imperishable, indestructible, indissoluble and enduring
“Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever …” (1 Peter 1:22-23 NKJV)
Loved To Love!
What kind of love never fails? You and I know that our human love cannot withstand when it’s violated. But, it is the Love of God, “Agape” (Greek word), that is unfailing. It is the high-level love. There is nothing higher, wider, deeper, wider or more powerful.
“Agape occurs when an individual sees, recognizes, understands, or appreciates the value of an object or person, causing the viewer to behold this object or person in great esteem, awe, admiration, wonder and sincere appreciation. Such great respect is awakened in the heart of the observer for the object or person he is beholding that he is compelled to love it. In fact, his love for that person or object is so strong that it is irresistible.” (Rick Renner – Sparkling Gems from the Greek)
You Are Mine!
But now, this is what the LORD says– He who created you, Jacob, He who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; YOU ARE MINE.” (Isaiah 43:1)
Fiery Passion of God’s Love
“This is the new covenant I will make with my people on that day, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.” (Hebrews 10:16 NLT)
The Lord’s passion is for His spoken word to be revealed and experienced in our lives. Gone are those days when His commandments were perceived as mere dictates, rules and regulations independent of His love for us.
Inquire Of Him
“In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on ALL people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” (Acts 2:17)
New Life!
In the past, struggles used to be the norm on how to be pleasing before God. There were set of rules to follow, yet we always fall short of the glory of God. We always find fault among ourselves. Feeling guilty, ashamed and condemned were defaults in our hearts, truly unworthy to even call upon the name of the Lord. I used to wonder, how can we get out of the mess we are in and stay out of the mess?
Hmmmm … with man, it is impossible. But with God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
