Do you ever feel like you are alone in the wilderness screaming at the top of your lungs with no effect when actually you are in a crowded room screaming at the top of your lungs with no effect? Some of the most frustrating times in my life were when I was trying to help someone(s) and the reaction was as if I hadn’t said anything at all. People can be rather stubborn all the facts can be laid out before them and still they will continue to ignore. God with all his love could not hold it in anymore and had to create. He made a world filled with beautiful landscapes filled with living things that all feed each other in great balance and then he made us. In his Image and with free will he gave us the grand gift of life. He gave us man and woman and wanted us to love each other and love and care over all he created. Even when we took our free will and broke his command and ate from that tree he still loved us. When Cain killed Able he still loved. When the world was so wicked he brought the flood he still loved and saved Noah. He wanted to give us guidance so he chose a special people to teach to love. When they became enslaved and could not find a way out, he loved and sent Moses to free them. When the “law” became confusing and not of love he had Moses give us 10 rules (commandments).
When his people lost their way he would send a prophet. Again and again these were ridiculed and killed because men could not see to love. Finally when things had become so bad again God sent his son Jesus out of love. Jesus gave us 2 rules. Love God with mind, body and soul and love each other as yourself. Jesus fed, cured and forgave sins. He loved with all his heart and for us he died. Jesus took the blame for all the sins for everyone that would ever live because he loved and still to this day some choose to not listen. Some so lost, angry and full of despair refuse to listen. They choose to only fill their own desires and God still loves them. If we choose to walk away it saddens God but he gave us free will. We are not slaves, but he is waiting with open arms to hold and love us and share all he has. So when you feel like you are alone screaming with no one listening, know that God hears you. Turn your conversation to him, you may not like everything he has to say at first but then again you will never find such a overflowing love anywhere else either.
Luke 13:31-35
31At that very hour some Pharisees came, and said to him, "Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you." 32And he said to them, "Go and tell that fox, `Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course. 33Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.' 34O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not! 35Behold, your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, `Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
