I have a beloved kitty who has to live in the garage because he is the carrier of a deadly feline disease, so he needs to be separated from our other cats. His name is Vinny. Vinny is my friend and he is very easy to love so thusly he has stolen my heart. I have another cat in the house whose name is Boo. She is a tri-paw cat (she is missing her right rear leg), but this doesn’t slow her down or hinder her in anyway. In fact she is pretty feisty. When we first got her many years ago, she adopted me as her human. She loves laying on my lap and everything with her is “graqndpa this and grandpa that”! She pretty much rules the roost in the house and she can be very nasty (very NASTY) to the other 5 cats in the house. I love her, but to tell you the truth, she can be very hard to love because of her treatment of the other cats. Boo got me to thinking the other day that it must be very hard for God to love us sometimes too by the way we treat each other, the way we treat ourselves, but mostly how we treat our Creator and our God! How can God loves us? That is probably the deepest and greatest mystery in the universe! But praise God he did and does love us! Without his love we would be forever doomed! For He (God) says the wages of sin is death. (Romans 6:23a) That is eternal death, forever separated from God and anything that is good! But, there is a way of escape! See in spite of our sins God loved us in while we were yet sinners Christ died for us! (Romans 5:8) Unlike me with Boo, God loves us unconditionally! He loves us so much that He sent His son to die for us on a cruel Roman cross. He says in John 3:16 “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”! No conditions, no stipulations, no contracts, nothing but believing! That is all God wants, is that you believe in Him. Romans 10: 9 &10 puts it this way: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” That is all there is to it! Whoever is reading this God wants you to know He loves you and not matter what you have done He wants you for Himself! Come to Him now, He is calling you!
