A few years back we sang a little chorus in church that said:
God loves people more than anything
God loves people more than anything
More than anything he wants them to know
He'd rather die than let them go
God loves people more than anything
That has been rolling around in my head since this morning when I read the 15th chapter of Luke where he records three stories that Jesus used to illustrate how important it was to him to reconcile people to God. It is obvious by his death & resurrection the extent he would go to in order keep us from an eternity w/o him.
How could we not think his heart remains the same and to really serve & worship him we must have the same drive, the same intense goal, to give everything to seek & save those who are lost?
Father I know I do not even come close to living out this purpose. I crave & satisfy my own comforts & desires far more than I do those of others or you. Forgive me. Move me forward, propel me to seek out the lost and extend your love to them.
Welcome!
