Love that is hard to understand

It needs to be felt

Gods Love.

The Love of God, Just baffles me. It defies everything. A creator, who will give his life for us ? It is beyond human comprehension.

There are a few questions, That people cannot understand. If God loves me so much, why i am facing these difficulties ? If God loves me so much why is he putting me through this ?.

If that is the question, that is keeping you away from understanding Gods love, Let me put a small thought here.

Imagine you are the creator of a robot. You will like it of course, But if you are going to remodel it, you will pull it apart for that purpose. Your thoughts are far higher and far greater than what the robot can imagine. In the same way, when God allows trouble, or hardship in your lives, it is not because he loves you less, it is for a purpose and for a good purpose for sure. Just that we will never ever live to understand it. Because the life that we know of, does not encompass our life lived in this world, it also accounts for the life after death. We surely cannot understand how it all fits in the big picture. So just Trust God, that what he is doing is good for you, even though it is hard now.

Please do not question Gods Love.

This is an example from my life.

There was a time in my life when everything was amazing, i had no worries and lived a very joyful life. I walked close to God, and one day i said to him, no matter what, i will never forget the kind of love you have for me, it is just so amazing.

Then later on i faced so many difficulties, and I questioned God on his love. I felt that he was away from me, and that maybe he did not like me anymore. Because all around me was pure darkness. I couldnt find anything Good around me. I questioned Gods presence, because i did not feel it. I did not feel Gods love, like i once felt. 

Later did I know, that God had always been with me, irrespective of all the troubles i faced.

I dont know the reason for all that. But Gods purpose is great. He later revealed this verse to me, when i was recounting the happenings in my life and what a pain it had been. 

James 1: 12

12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

What does God like to see in us ?

        

    We were in the process of purchasing a house, so I was pondering about different places, the cost of houses in various regions, and how location and income affect the value of a house. These thoughts occupied my mind and instilled a sense of unrest within me.

       

     I wanted to talk to Jesus for a while, not for worldly blessings, but because He gives peace that nothing in this world can compare to.

 I heated up some food, and settled down next to a window. There was a kind of peace I hadn't felt in a long time. I was thinking about places and people, watching a few folks walking by and the trees.

 A thought came to my mind: Isn't this all created by God? Then, as I diverted my attention to the people going about their work, I felt that God asks us to care for and love others as we love ourselves. I wondered, what does God see in each of us? We are all created equal, but God has given talent, gifts, wealth, joy, and everything else in a dispersed manner to each of us. 

What does He see in each of us? When I thought about the people walking by, some might be good, some not so good, some happy, and some sad. But what would capture God's attention? What is He looking for? Does anyone in this world get overlooked by God? No, never.

 How do I know? Because the Bible tells us that long ago, God looked at the world and found only Noah to be a good man in His eyes. God was not pleased with anyone else. So, does wealth or fame or anything else really matter? The only thing that matters is the fear of the Lord. That is what impresses the Creator who has all the power and control in this world. 

 You might fear the Lord and... I was going to say that you might fear the Lord but not have all the blessings. But before I could say it, a verse came to memory. I thank God for revealing it.

 Psalm 34: 9-10  

9 Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing.

10 The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. 

 Psalm 147:10,11

 10 His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of the warrior; 

11 the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.
