In honor of Valentine’s Day, I ask, “Why not taste and see?” I truly believe this IS the greatest love. It might just be what you’re searching for.
I believe in a literal God. A God who created the extravagance we call the universe and the dopeness that is (wo)man. The Bible says God is not beyond man’s reach; in fact, He longs to know us intimately. Our sin is what separates us from Him. The glorious thing is that despite our penchant for living life as if there is no God, He still wants us. He wants us to the point that he sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for us – to take the penalty for our sin so we wouldn’t have to.
Christ, the Son of God, gave his life so that we would have constant, intimate relationship and access to God the Father in this life and the next. This is Christ’s love offering to us. But we need to choose to receive it; to ask God for forgiveness and choose a new start with Christ as Lord and Savior. When we make this decision, we choose an intimate and precious relationship with God that starts immediately and lasts for eternity in heaven. If we don’t make a choice or reject Him outright, we choose the alternative - hell. Think that sounds unloving? Not if the choice is ours to make. Think about it this way, "Any injustice in this life is offset by the honor of choosing our destiny in the next." Max Lucado
Before you reject this as nonsense or folklore, why not ask God if He is indeed real to reveal that to you. If you are open to it, I believe He will do just that. The Bible says this is a reality. Why not taste and see? I’m pretty sure you’ll find a love beyond what your heart can dare to hope for. I did.
Peace and Love,
Lensi
