HE STILL CARES

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 3:16
King James Version

God cared enough for us to give His beloved Son to die on the cross for our sins and He still cares. However, when God says something, He means it. We read this in the Bible. "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14).

It is our fault that we have wars and hatred in our country because we are not doing what God has told us to do. He has told us to trun from our wicked ways and yet we still have a lot of unforgiveness, murders, rapes, child abuse, drugs, criticism, elderly abuse, unforgiveness and hatred in our country. It is not fair or right for us to blame God when it is our hatred, unforgiveness, criticism and other things that hurt Him and break His heart that are the reason why this world is in such a mess.

We need to do what one of my pastors used to say in his sermons "If we will make sure our own heart is right before God, we won't have the time to judge and criticize others". The pastor was right because it is a full time job to make sure my own heart is right before God and that I'm not hurting Him.

Remember, you're not perfect and I'm not perfect. There was only one perfect person who ever lived or ever will live and His Name is Jesus. May God help us to love one another unconditionally as Jesus has commanded us to love others.
