* Love - Bizzle *

HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO LOVE??? As selfish beings we often take advantage of LOVE in our relationships. The more someone LOVES us, the more we tend to abuse the LOVE. The more forgiving the person is, the more we mess them over hoping that they will forgive us one more time. The more available they make themselves, the less valuable we treat their time. The more they give, the more we take. It seems, we end up being the same way in our relationship with GOD. We know HE will keep forgiving, so we keep sinning. We keep doing the things that push HIM away knowing HE will never leave us nor forsake us. We know that HE can't lie, so we throw HIS promises back in HIS face repeatedly while lying repeatedly and never holding up our end of the covenant. The GOD of this WHOLE UNIVERSE makes HIMSELF so available to us that in response, we rarely make time for HIM. Despite that, HE continues to give and we continue to take. HE calls out to us constantly, but we only call HIM when we need something. We take and take and take, while being under the impression that we are in this "give and take" relationship. It's GOD who gets the short end of the stick in the relationship every time, yet HE STILL loves to be in relationship with us. HE STILL loves us unconditionally, HE STILL continues to forgive us, and HE IS STILL there every time we call. GOD'S love for us has never been on trial. It's our love for HIM that proves questionable quite often. As The BRIDE OF CHRIST, I think it's time that we start taking our vows more seriously. Let's start responding to Love......with Love. HE deserves it. You will fall short.....you will not be perfect, but HE deserves your best. GOD bless you!!!
