Why do we do things over and over again? The answer is that we want the things that we do to be perfect. Why isn’t one time good enough? The answer is that we want to impress others instead of doing what we do for God. Over and over again we are given more than enough chances to get our lives right before Jesus returns.
Over and over again God forgives us for all of our wrongs, but we often take Him for granted. What if He did not give us chance after chance to get our lives right? What if He did not forgive us? What would we do then? How would we feel? The truth is, it would not matter how we feel. We would be punished on the very spot, no questions about it.
Over and over again we forget to put God first in our lives, why? Simply because we are selfish human beings. We only think about ourselves, what we need and want from Him, but do we ever stop to thank Him for all of the things that He has done for us since the beginning of time? Do we thank Him for the life that He gives us on a daily basis? We should always put Him first! He does not have to give us anything, He does not owe us anything; but sometimes we seem to think so when we are at our last hope, at the end of our rope, about to throw in the towel.
Over and over again, He looks at His creation, which is us…I can just imagine what He would say to us if He would tap us on the shoulders and get our attention…I could just imagine the shocking look that would be on our faces. Would we change, or would we stay the same? Would we give Him the time that He deserves from us? Would we spend time in the Word even more? Would we pray more often than usual? Would we be more loving, kind, helpful, compassionate towards others, and would we genuinely love our enemies like HE wants us to do?
Over and over again, He loves us unconditionally. He picks us up when we fall. He protects us, and keeps us fom danger, He makes a way when there seems to be no way, He comforts us when we are feeling in despair, He is our ever present help, and most of all, He is the Great I AM!
Over and over again, let us not forget that He sent HIS ONE AND ONLY SON INTO THIS WORLD TO DIE FOR OUR SINS, THAT IS REAL LOVE! Nothing can ever compare to the love that He has for us.
Jesus tells to love one another as I have loved you. Over and over again, His love never fails.
