People have a puny idea of God’s Love. Any time the word “love” appears there seems to be an expectation of soft, tender, fluffy and agreeing emotions that huddles and cuddles one into oblivion. And that is exactly where most are today.
God’s Love is ferocious and interrupting. In the minds of those without understanding, He appears to be brutal and non caring.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
In the book of Genesis God interrupts the chaos…there was no distinguishable form in the earth, it was empty and the dark went to the deepest. THEN the Spirit of God invaded this emptiness which was not empty at all by interrupting the surface of the waters and with His energy His frequency reminded the deep that the seeds in there were eternal…thus He recreated or brought forth what was already in existence.
God starts with nothing and brings forth…yet He never starts with nothing, for He is always in existence.
His voice, heard by Himself first, brought forth from the darkness, commanding the light to come from where it could not be seen to where it could be seen.
Whenever God is ready to make a presentation He is not pretentious…He is direct, and it is up to those who see the results to realize His intentions went beyond anything common.
People often say that they have never heard the audible sound of God’s voice…yet, they are aware He has spoken. How deep was the deep that the sound of His voice was energized by His very movement and presence hovering over it…such as a hen would over her eggs? The sound is irrelevant in comparison to the effect of the energy which is usually experienced prior to the sound.
LIGHT BE! was His proclamation. He did not create the Light. He is light and He is not created. To that which was yet to come forth, He said…SEE ME!
He did not stop to see if anything or anyone felt good, fluffy or warm and cuddly from all of this activity that was experienced before it was seen and heard.
Ecc 3:15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
The result, the purpose is the result of a power that we may never fully understand. You cannot hold it in your hands, yet, the eternal seed existing in the empty space was framed by His words as what was once existing now appears again. HaHa…the enemy created chaos…the enemy did not win, for Our Almighty and Powerful One never lost what was spoken before the beginning.
Isaiah 53 says It pleased Him to bruise (crush) His Son. Where is the fluffy, cuddly experience in that picture that appears to be so brutal? And, yet He then speaks of the fruit of the crushing.
Isa 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
The Love of God will pulverize every barrier impeding the progress for His purpose. The splitting of a woman’s womb to bring forth a child too big to come through…the ferocious impact of the deep (where life is experienced openly) the child is born into brings forth compelling sounds that causes the child to be quickly placed on the mother’s breast as a reminder that at one point they were both sharing the same space…and that sound broke through to free the start of another generation.
Take a closer look at what seems to be a display of destruction, anger and pain coming from the one WHO IS LOVE and trace it back to Him, His Heart and His Purpose…and we may begin to cooperate with Him (perhaps shakingly) to witness the Power of a Being who always is, always was and will always remain the same…GOD IS LOVE. Incomprehensible yet enjoyed as we grasp His presence in the most difficult situations. What looks impossible to you and me is because we do not totally understand His Love, though He wants us to have enough of an understanding to say:
And we know that all things work together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the called (hear His Sound) according to his purpose. (Rom 8:28)
This can only happen as we intentionally give our being to Him and let Him, at His pace, infuse us with the LOVE that is Him.
When you relinquish your everything (Mark 12:23) there is nothing left for you, leaving the place for you and Him to be in Harmony with each other blessing others.
Most of our lives have been spent trying to get something we have always had…the adamic nature requires us to feed ourselves on our love for ourselves that we overlook the true power of God and His Love. Love for ourselves is as destructive for our purpose, as His Love is destructive for His purpose.
He is God. He wins. All things work together for good to them that LOVE GOD…NOT SELF.
God is Love…and in that knowledge I rest, believe and know.
