hallo...i'm susan.
I was trying to concentrate reading my history of documentary book…I finished reading the chapter (I really had no clue what I read); the whole entire time I was thinking about God’s grace, compassion, his amazing, unconditional, and merciful love.
Yet…for the past several months I’ve been to church…I haven’t really been exposed (maybe I got the message wrong?) to God’s grace, his love, his compassion. I was preached on about God’s wrath, God’s intention for us, God’s hatred on sin, our responsibilities as Christians, God’s punishments, what failing Christians are considered to be and how I can’t be one…
I’m really tired…
Every Sunday I feel like I’m hit hard on the head with a gigantic rock…because knowing how much of a failure I’m. How I need to correct it.
I’m not perfect…I need compassion too.
I do not want to be like I’m force to live up to God’s standards…I do not want to be forced, I want to be willing. I’m trying, and I’m sure everyone is also.
I also feel like if we do fall, just allow us to fall…All the “falls” I been through, it actually brought me closer to God more of his love, his compassion, his grace. (Knowing this fact is like finding infinite ice cream in the fridge, you never run out…*okay, weird analogy*)
God does punish, does have high expectations from us, does wants us to carry out our responsibilities as Christians, does hate sin, does not want us to be enslave to worldly wealth, possessions, materialism, indecency….but
HE LOVES US! HE HAS COMPASSION!
If not, what’s the point of Jesus?
I feel like we do need to really keep this point in mind.(all the time)
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that who ever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
– John 3:16
