Bittersweet
May 22, 2019
We have done nothing to deserve the love that God has chosen to give us that brought Him to sacrifice all that was needed to adopt us into His family. The sacrifice that Jesus made by dying on the cross was a bittersweet moment because all the pain He endured was worth it to Him to have us as family.

Too often we find ourselves holding onto what we have rather than letting it go so that God can fill us with so much more. God does not just love us but He likes us, too, and we must have faith in His amazing provision. God’s greatest blessings that He has given us are grace and mercy made evident in Christ.

Our appreciation for God should grow the more we learn about His love and sacrifice for us, not because we did anything to earn it but because He freely gave it. God values us more than we could ever fathom, and He has promised an inheritance for us in Heaven greater than we could ever imagine.

Creation reflects the grace and glory of God in that He did not create only what seems necessary but He made things beautiful and exceeded simple necessity.

We often get so entrapped in sin from our past, whether done to us or done by us, that it keeps us from moving forward. God says in His Word that He can remove sin completely from us so when the memories come we can hold onto His truth, find hope and move forward.

Satan knows each individual’s greatest weaknesses, and he uses that knowledge to offer us a hell of a deal when he tempts us. The fact is that if we are children of God, we have Christ’s power in us and with that comes the strength to resist temptation, no matter what kind of deal we’re offered.

While the Bible tells us to go out and spread the Gospel, we are also told to be careful about who we share it with. Not everyone is hungry for the truth and their intention is to tear us apart. God will show us who we should talk to and with whom we need to be silent.

God is not as concerned about whether or not He offends people as much as He is concerned about us living a righteous life. Sometimes that takes discipline and pain to bring us back to right living, but when we follow Him the benefits far outweigh the difficulties.
