1 John 3
Inspired thots:
Who is God? That is a BIG Question. Many want the answer... or an answer... or what they want to hear. But no one can really give the answer if the self is not seeking and believing.
God's word says, 'Ask and you shall receive'; 'Seek and you shall find'; 'Knock and the door shall be opened'. (Matt. 7:7)
God is ready to give and open when one is ready to receive, find and knock.
God is... as He is - v2
v3 He is PURE
v7 He is RIGHTEOUS
v8 He is LOVE (chp 4)
Because He is... His children are...
Like begets like
His children will be LIKE Him... that is something exciting to look forward to...
But to look forward to that future, preparation is required now... put off the old nature and put on the new.
As God loves, so must I... yes, slowly but surely as I overcome daily with less struggles to love as Jesus loves. It can happen when I keep focus on Christ; when I remind myself how Christ did it and what does GOD want. It can happen because I want that future as being like God when I see Him. All else on earth now is not as important as that.
That is sufficient motivation to love others. To me, that is part of my preparation.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
