GOD IS WAITING FOR YOU

 

Ps. 8:3-5  When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—the moon and the stars you have set in place—what are mortals that you should think of us, mere humans that you should care for us?  For you made us only a little lower than God, and you crowned us with glory and honor.

     Have you ever wondered why the Lord even bothers with us?  I know I have.  Mankind started out so well, living in close fellowship with God day and night.  Then, because God gave man the freedom of choice, sin entered into the heart of man.  From that day on, man has tried the patience of God.  God time after time sought to bring man back into fellowship with himself, but man stubbornly rejected Him.  Mankind has throughout history displayed horrendous evil.  Yet, God has not destroyed us. 

     We are still here only because of God's love for us.  He longs for fellowship with the human soul.  Mankind is the only part of all creation that has a soul.  We alone can have fellowship with God.  God made us special so that we can enjoy each other's company forever and ever.  We are the crowning glory of all that He has created.

     There is no other explanation as to why God has not put an end to life as we know it.  He loves us and longs to save us from our sins so that we can spend eternity with Him.  He is allowing us to hang around so that more and more of us can be saved.  His love for us compels Him to wait a little bit longer, until all who can be saved will be saved.

     You are very special to God.  He made you just as you are, in His own image.  He made you for himself.  He loves you and longs for your love and fellowship.  He is very patient and will wait as long as He possibly can for you to be right with Him.  How about it?  Is your heart right with God today?  Just remember, we don't know how far God's patience with us will take Him.  It may run out very soon; it could be even today.
