Who are we that we should hold anything against anyone? Yet, who are we that we should learn to love?

Can God Murder?
Many consider God at fault because they were hurt by the death of a loved one. “It’s God’s fault he’s dead”. “I hate Him”. “I’m angry at God for taking . . . . . .” And so on. I don’t want to make fun of the tragedy of losing a loved one. But there needs to be said that God is good.
How do we balance the loss of our love with a Good God? Consider what our life is. He gave us life in this place of testing. And when He decides to finish our test where do we go? We go into eternity. We perceive life here as the end of things. “I’m alive and I don’t want to die”. Ok. But your very life here was a gift from God the Father of Life. And when He is ready, He brings you into His presence.

It’s a New Day For You!
When Jesus makes you into a new man or woman, it is a true transformation. No religion can do what He does with just the touch of His hand. “Behold.”, He says softly, “All things are become new”. Slowly, we realize something has changed. And step by step He leads us into true righteousness and holiness. Though we are able to stifle His work, the promise remains for all who receive His gift of eternal life.
What men see in you will not be what you see. To them, you’re just a fool who thinks he’s better than everyone else. You’ll begin to speak of heaven far more than your friends. You’ll begin to revere the name of Jesus, which they take as a curse word. Those who knew the old you will hide from you. They will cast you away as if you were yesterday’s garbage. But you know better. See, the Kingdom of Heaven has come upon you.
Now, if this is your case, why do you doubt? Don’t let the blind tell you that you can’t see. You know better than that. They will accuse, for that is what your old father (and their present daddy) has done from eternity. Don’t be dismayed. You are a new creation.

The Banquet is Served.
Come on in. Welcome! I’ve been waiting for you. I mean YOU! The one who’s reading this right now. Welcome!
Sit here. You look tired. How is your life of late? Are you alright?
Allow me to serve please. It is my great honor.
Here before you are the delicacies of heaven. Some things will taste a bit strange at first. But after you get the hang of the taste, you’ll never want the old stuff again.
Here’s a bowl of forgiveness. I know, you’ve rarely had much of this. But don’t worry, it’s a marvelous dish. What’s that? Is it made of artificial ingredients? OH NO! Never! This was prepared by the Master Chef. Everything He used to make it came directly from the Father’s garden. That’s the pattern of all His food here.
Would you like some guidance? Ha ha ha. No, I’ve got no useful advice. I mean would you like a dish of His guidance. It’s pure and fresh. You’ll find it refreshing.
And may I offer you a glass of water? It’s from the Spring of God. You’ve never tasted anything like this. It will well up with in you. Just a sip and you’ll be more useful than you’ve ever imagined.
I’ll leave you for a moment to enjoy your bounty. I only ask that you remember it was “He who cannot lie” who has provided everything here. You are blessed by His Grace as you eat. Enjoy. I’ll be back in a little while to see if you need anything more.
By His Grace.
