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.
