Of love..

 
 
I write this with a heavy spirit, after looking at the gruesome pictures of toddlers butchered in Nigeria in the name of religion!
 
Is God still love?
 
When everything seems to be going fine, most people don't even want to talk about God. When trajedy hits however, then turn we, most often to blame the creator for having taken a break! Why on earth will a man senselessly butcher a toddler in the name of religion? Gods plan for man, was, is and will never be for destruction!
 
Jer 29:11  "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
 
We are all unique and were CREATED by God, out of love for a specific purpose, the same way engineers design equipment for specific purposes. Adam sinned by disobeying God's dictate from the very beginning charting an unfortunate path for his descendants.
 
Many choose not to retain God in their knowledge.
 
Romans 1: 28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; ...
Unless we turn back to God and become new creations ( "therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.." 2 Corintinas 5:17), we won't understand or be able to express true love.
 
God is still love.
 
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:6-8)
 
Whoever does not love does not know God , because God is love. (1 John 4:8).
 
The authors of carnage, lies, immorality,destructions and deceipt definitely, do not know God for God is love. It all starts when one chooses not to retain God in their knowledge.Jesus alone can and will change you, if you answer His call even right now.
