Baruch 1:21-22

For we did not heed the voice of the Lord, our God, in all the words of the prophets whom he sent us, but each of us went off after the devices of our own wicked hearts, served other gods, and did evil in the sight of the Lord, our God.

Some things never change.

Centuries  and centuries after today’s scripture was written…we are still doing the same thing. We must admit that this still applies to us today.

But ever notice how God’s love is not conditional like ours many times is?

God kept loving…keeps loving…despite being rejected over and over and over.

If you are struggling and are not proud of some of the things you’ve done…take comfort in the fact that God is not giving up on you.

God gave us free will…knowing that we would make mistakes.

Is that so we could then be punished for making those inevitable errors?

That would seem extremely cruel…and since God is love (1 John 4:8), that just cannot be true.

I’m thinking that God knew that the only way we could experience unconditional love was if we could experience being loved when we least merited it.

That kind of love would be transforming.

How else would we learn to love in the same way?

God is not looking to punish you…but to love you and forgive you.

God is for you.

God wants to see you grow.

What else would Love do?

Whatever your “shadow side” might be…it will likely be the key to your transformation.

So…bring your brokenness, shame and pain to God…and experience what Unconditional Love is!
