CONVERSATIONS

It never ceases to amaze me how the most profound thoughts come out of the most simplest of conversations. Take for example last night. My husband and I were in the bed waiting out the commercials being aired during a Friday night television show; the premise of which centers around the main character whose soul is damned and he runs around trying to atone for his mistakes. Of course in the interim he deals with nasty spirits, has conversations with demons and angles, and tries to keep hold of his sanity while dealing with the supernatural. So of course this would spark up a conversation. 

We are talking about how deep the show is because it tries to convey how we are in relationship with the spirit world. And how there are forces so vile that we can't comprehend them. It was just kinda freaky but fascinating. We are faith believing people and know that angles, demons and fallen angels do exist. That our world is on a plane that intertwines with the spirit world. We also know that GOD is absolute so no matter what we face in our natural world He is with us and He is stronger than any of our challenges. 

Okay enough background let me get to the meat of my story. As I mentioned before it was between commercials that I told my husband that it is unfathomable how powerful Lucifer is. He says "yeah he took a 1/3 of heaven with him". "Yes, he did" I replied, " but you know what the kickers are? 1. we don't know how many fallen angels he actually took with him because we don't know how much of the third he took. Sure we know a third but a third of what? 2. How powerful is he that he could convince other immortal beings who have the privileged of living in The Almighty's presence to trade it for allegiance to him. 3. My God, (said in awe not disrespect), how powerful is the Lord because He trumps Satan who is not the mightiest of foes?" It just makes one feel the weakness of being human. We couldn't survive a moment without God. Why would we want too? "But", I continued "what gets me is why would God create us in the first place?" "He knew all of the heartache we would cause Him and each other. How we could never get it right because sin is in our nature. The desire to disobey was with us even in the garden. But yet He still chose to create us". He replies, "yeah I know right". 

As we continued our conversation we were simply awed at GOD's majesty, holiness and greatness. Think about it..Only He could be holy enough to completely atone for our sin debt. No one else is, was or would be able to sate His need for justice save Himself in the form of His Son, the Living Word Jesus Christ. Only He could shed His own blood to forever place us in right standing with Him. Only He could raise himself from the dead and sit on the Throne and on His right side..all at the same time. The God we serve is awesome! But the question still remains as to why? I confessed to Anthony that I asked GOD why He created us? At the time I was upset with the people I was working with and was laying out all of my issues with their character flaws, as well as my own, and I just needed to know why. 

He answered me ,(The Lord), in one word...LOVE. Love compelled Him to create us, provide for us, save us and love on us. Because He is Love. He sets His rules and boundaries and He is so Holy that He can't go against His own Word or Law. He defines Love. He dictated that Love must be shared, it must be expressed, it is not meant to keep for ones own self. It is stronger like that. "I think that is why He gave us babies, so we could experience the miracle of creation..just on a small scale". " We feel the little things moving around and know they are alive, we anticipate their birth while watching their growth in the womb and when they arrive we are over joyed and so proud to have them." I said excitedly. My husband nods in agreement and adds, " yes even when they grow up, disappoint us or hurt us, we still love them". "yes", I agreed, " I guess that is how He feels about us".  "Hun", he says, "you should put that on your blog thingee".

Now readers you can have an inkling of understanding of how much God Loves You!!!! If you haven't accepted His gift of salvation. Please consider doing so today. 

One day He will return for us, the faithful, because He said so in His Word. Be counted on His side so you may share in His beautiful glory and partake of His promises that are only for His children.
