How he loves
Read Jeremiah 3
I’m sure that during our lifetime we’ve repeatedly done something to upset our parents. We’ve all done it, if it’s not doing our homework or talking back to our parents. There might even be times where we feel like we’ve really messed up and they don’t love us anymore.
This is a similar story to the relationship between God and his people of Israel. They’ve sinned against God so many times that God wanted to divorce the people of Israel. This of course is not how the story ends. At the end of the day God loves us so much still. He loves us so much that he completely forgives us. He invites us to come back to him with open arms. All we need to do is “acknowledge (our) guilt.” He wants to treat us like his children, and bless us with pleasant land. He wants to be with us and bless us. Even though we are so disobedient and sinful God just wants to love us!
“We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.
So Heaven meets earth like an unforseen kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don't have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way... He loves us….“
David Crowder Band
-Reflect on where we are disobedient, and ask God to forgive us.
-Mediate on the God’s love and grace for us.
