God lives! What can be better than that? We Christian singles should be beside ourselves with joy. As we have grown in our understanding that He exists, we ought to praise Him like we are out of our minds.
We proclaim with exuberance that God is more than just a lofty notion, so when did we get disconnected from our convictions? Is it something in the water that causes us to act out against our spiritual nature? We must have fallen and bumped our heads!
- Lord, we love you, but we find it so hard at times to love other people.
- Lord please continue to forgive us even while we refuse to forgive those who have wronged us.
- Lord, will you still bless us even though we heap curses on others?
- Lord, will you remain faithful even in the midst of our unfaithfulness to you?
- Lord, please don’t turn your back on us even while we forsake those who need us the most.
One aspect of God that we often take for granted is His unconditional love. Even while He was the furthest thing from our minds, God made up His mind to love us. He was persistent and consistent in His resolve to show us love. God CHOSE love! God willingly VOLUNTEERED to love us! Let the praising begin!
So when are we going to do what God has done? We have the perfect example to follow in how we should interact with the people in our lives. Let’s keep this simple and uncomplicated: God chose love; we should also choose love. God volunteered to love us; we should willingly volunteer to love others. God loved us in spite of our flaws, so we should express Godly love toward others even when they act ungodly toward us. We don’t need a Ph’D to figure this out. If God is, then we should ACT like it. We can’t deny the blessed reality of Him, so when are we going to live up to our calling as children of God?

Knowing that God is unconditional love should bring us Joy only when we are doing as He has done. So often we go through life justifying our dislikes for one another which hinders us from receiving what God has given us and that is “True Unconditional Love”.
We go through the motions and we have the nerve to go into the Potter’s House expecting the “praises to go up and the blessing to come down” as we hide darkness in our hearts…when we allow the Potter to do his work in us by being an opening and willing spirit then it becomes so easy to love; when we allow the Potter to shape our heart and soul to what is pleasing and acceptable to him we are able to forgive; When we put our faith in God only then is he able to fashion and shape us into “Love”…
When we allow ourselves to rest in him, and only then will there be cleansing of our heart, soul and mind which gives us that joy and peace that God has promised us…
Only when we start to acknowledge that God is “all there is” and He does in deed live…we will start to live a life where being Christian is the norm…and we will place our faith in God and not in things; it is only then that we are able to hear His voice and answer his Call.
