I love the Lord. I remember growing up in a big family and most of my intimate moments with Holy Spirit were on the bathroom floor. I’d kneel there and confess my love for my Abba. I can’t imagine my life without God. I’d die , literally. Spiritual and physical death. He is my everything. He is my heart , my heartbeat , my all in all. This is the same Lord whose robes were torn for me. Imagine that! Public shame! If someone was to come to me and tear my dress in public, eh 🤣🤣. The Holy Spirit would have to push me out of that place by all means Incase the old man tries to come alive. But the bible records that HE DID NOT FIGHT BACK. How is it possible that a man is humiliated like that and keeps quiet? John answers this question;
”Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.“
1 John 3:1 KJV
The urge to want to type in venec😂. The apostle says “Listen you need to behold this! There’s a type of love that we have been given that has moved us from not being a people, not having identity, from being orphans to being sons! Not sons of the President or a celebrity, no! Far better! SONS OF GOD!!!” He says but what manner of love is this? This suggests that even he had never seen or heard of such a thing! Behold it! It’s a different kind of love! How did God show us this love?
”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 KJV
The first line has me in my feelings! For GOD , this love did not come from neighbours, or a boyfriend, the source has always been GOD! He loved! He loves! And this is the manner in which He loved, He gave His only Son, The best of heaven, He gave the One that He loves to save the ones that He loves. He GAVE! He didn’t withhold , He didn’t shorten His saving arm ! He loved us at our darkest. My darkest was my past. I have not always been like this but even in that 😭 even in that mess, even in that drunkenness, even THERE! He loved. Today I don’t have to really say much, you know how much He has loved you! Is He then not worthy of our praises? Is this how we say thank you? By folding hands, showing up with attitude in His presence? With weak opinions derived from the doctrines of the world? Is this how we say thank you? We need to really catch this, worship is not a programme , it is your decision to ascribe to the Lord, the glory due to His name.
