GOD's love comes with GOD's disciplines Hebrews 12:6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives. The way GOD loves is not the same as a man loves. Those who misunderstand His love as a man's love will find GOD's love irrational. When a man loves, as seen when a man loves a woman, he loves her for what she represents, as if she is a product carrying a perceived promise. He loves for a reason or with a motive. No one loves for no reason except for the sake of loving. Unless he is like GOD, loving unconditionally. GOD proves His unconditional love: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. That is, despite us being vile, detestable and hideous according to His standard, GOD still loves us by dying for us. His love compels Him to do whatever is needed to make us right with Him so that we can be the beneficiaries of His goodness. Some might think that GOD is blinded by love. Yes, He is because love takes no records of wrong. Since GOD is love, His love is blinded to our sins, and for us, He can sacrifice 100% of Himself without consideration for Himself. For love, Jesus could, as in the Epistle of Philippians: Existing in the form of God did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross. For love, Jesus bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. The main difference between GOD's love and a man's love is that one comes out of selflessness and the other out of selfishness. A man cannot sacrifice himself because, by nature, he is selfish. This nature is not a biased opinion but a biblical fact. The Bible has other terms to describe our selfishness: selfish ambition, vain, conceit, lovers of selves, self-seeking, pleasing ourselves, seeking our good, etc. His love is self-seeking for the enlargement of his ego, for his egoistic carnal ambitions. Hence, a man's love is not pure but tinted with motives, schemes and deceits. To elaborate, if a man loves a woman because she is an angel, talented or beautiful, his love is laced with motives. No matter how noble it might sound, it is filled with 'I love you because'. It is not a love of 'I love you regardless'. One day, a person might outlive their appealing attributes, and the reason for love will no longer exist. Then what happens? Love is liken to having wings, and it will fly away. Time will reveal the foundation of a man's love. Is it as solid as a rock, or is it as shifting as the sand?  GOD's love is unchanging with time and is unconditional in what may happen. Nothing can change His love. The Epistle of John writes, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life". The phrase 'GOD so loved the world' that John uses is unprecedented because GOD does not approve or accept the world. The people of the world, according to the Apostle Paul, are people of the flesh who are hostile to God. They do not submit to God's law, nor can they do so. Those of the flesh cannot please God. In the Epistle of 1 John writes, "Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him". The message is clear - despite His opinion of the world, He refrains from judgment and loves the world without prejudice and discrimination. Even if we are the vilest of sinners, His love will still cover us. No one will be ostracized from His love, and His arms are always open to everyone. That is how deep and how wide the love of GOD is. GOD's love is indeed magnanimous. It is a haven for all sinners, where GOD's judgement has to stay outside and where sinners find solace. In His love, there is no condemnation and where sins can hold nothing against us. His love becomes our source of comfort, strength and hope. No doubt, in His love is where everyone wants to dwell. Therefore, it is a topic that is well-preached and sung about. However, unbeknown to many, no matter how great GOD's love is, His love is not above His law. And no matter how much GOD loves us, He cannot allow us eternal life without complying with His law. The law states that eternal life only comes through Jesus Christ, and only those who believe in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. The Apostle John could have stated, 'For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son so that everyone shall not perish but have eternal life', and that would be so sweet. But he did not. That is to say, GOD's love is unconditional, but eternal life is conditional. Think about it: Metaphorically, could GOD allow the hand of His love to slap the face of His law? That will be foolish of Him. No matter how much GOD loves us, He does not allow us to trespass against His law. In other words, He does not allow us to sin against Him. Therefore, His love is not above His law. However, many have misconstrued GOD's love to supersede His law, quoting from the Apostle Paul that we are no longer under law but under grace. That is picking words out of context. The Apostle Paul did not suggest that grace had replaced the law. He only meant that when we believe in Christ, our master is no longer sin but Christ. Therefore, we are no longer slaves to sin but to righteousness. When we no longer sin, we are no longer under the law, and the law has nothing against us. We can understand it in this way: if we do not contravene any legislation, the government will not come after us. We will not be under any sentence of imprisonment, a fine, or other sanctions and are free to do whatever we want. In biblical terms, when we are not under the law, we are under grace. We are only under grace if we do not sin. We must remember that nothing is above the law, not even GOD's love. Therefore, we should not go overboard when anyone tells us that GOD is madly in love with us. It does not mean anything, as it is not an open door to eternal life, and it does not give us a license to sin. If GOD's love is not a ticket to eternal life, then what is its purpose in the architecture of humanity? Though GOD's love cannot directly give us what we want, it can pave the way there. As an analogy, GOD's love is like a mother's love, nurturing a child for greatness. Though a mother cannot bestow greatness on her child, she can nurture the greatest within him so that he can be great by his own merits. GOD's love will nurture us from sinners to saints, so by our merits, we will enter heaven. We will be able to stand tall among angels because we do not enter, figuratively, by the back door. In this journey to sinning no more, GOD promises that He will not leave us nor forsake us. He will be our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. No matter how many times we fall because of our weakness, like the Apostle Peter, GOD will be there to pick us up because His love will never fail. Like in the Apostle Paul, GOD's strength is made perfect in his weakness. He will be ours, too. GOD's love is not based on merits. Anyone is qualified for it. Therefore, no matter where we are in our relationship with Him, He will accept us as who we are. Even if we are the vilest sinners or non-Christians, GOD has no issue with that. He wants to give to us and not take from us for His purpose. Therefore, there are no criteria, conditions, or baselines except that we wish for His love. For the fallen world, He is willing to sacrifice the most precious of heaven, Jesus Christ, in suffering for its redemption so that heaven's gate is open for all who wish to enter. However, eternal life is not as simple as Apostle John put it simplistically - everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. What should we believe in Him, then? That He is the Son of GOD? Even the demons, Legion, knew that. Yet, it got them nowhere except to be cast into the pigs. We need to believe more than that. We need to believe every word of Jesus. If we say we believe, then we must do accordingly. If not, we are as good as non-believers. In GOD's context, knowing His Word is not enough, as we must be doers of His Word. When we believe in Jesus, we must be doers of His Word. Only when we do that will we not perish but have eternal life. Well, this is easier said than done. Many might be unaware that to be a doer of His Word is to sin no more. However, expecting a sinner to 'sin no more' is more challenging than for a drug addict to be drug-free. David wrote, "Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me."  That means we are born in a state of sin, and we have been doing wrong since birth. Hence, to 'sin no more', we need to do more than change the habit of sinning; we need to eradicate the DNA of our sinful nature. If not, we are clean on the outside, while on the inside, we are still unclean.  We need a spiritual transformation of our inmost being. Without this, we will never be free from our sinful nature. That is when GOD's love comes with care, support and guidance, seeing us through our transformation of dying to our sinful selves and being empowered by Him in obedience. His love will surround us like a tiger mother, coaching us to stand against our enemy, the devil, who prowls around like a roaring lion waiting to devour us. GOD will discipline us to be fierce warriors against the devil's schemes and chastise us in our areas of weakness so that the devil will not have a foothold in us. We should not underestimate the devil as he can cause the downfall of any man and create havoc in anyone's life. Looking at the destruction he did to Job, we should be wary of him. As described in the Book of Ezekiel, the devil is the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. We are no match for him. If GOD is not with us, disciplining and chastening us to obedience, many would not be able to elude the devil's perfect temptation, causing us to sin. We will fall like Adam and Eve without any resistance.  The Epistle of Hebrews writes, "No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it. Therefore strengthen your limp hands and weak knees. Make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed." GOD loves us, and He has our best interests at heart. Through discipline, our limp hands and weak knees will be strengthened so we will not fall into sin away from GOD. Consequently, we will overcome sin and not perish but have eternal life.

Finding true success through the Word of GOD Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then, you will prosper and succeed in all you do. All roads might lead to Rome, but there is only one way that leads to prosperity and success. Some might think it is through hard work, creativity, perseverance or any positive traits. They are definitely good attributes, but they are not the way. As conceited as it may sound, we have only one option to ironclad achievements and successes so that they will be everlasting, not something that comes by day and flies by night. That way is through the Spiritual way of GOD, according to the Book of the Law. In other words, nothing we do is good enough to give us true success unless we follow His way. Only that will make a difference. Unbeknownst to many, this is where many fail. Why? We do not know the way. Jesus has cautioned us that the way that leads to life is narrow, and the gate to it is small. Unlike the wide is the gate and broad is the way, few will find it. Therefore, we might think we know the way, but we might be wrong. Our failures prove that we do not know the way. Our weakness is we know far too little of the Bible while assuming we know enough to be right with GOD. Once we are not careful, we might end up like the foolish virgins in the parable of the ten virgins, being locked out of the wedding feast. The difference between the wise virgins and the foolish virgins is that one group has more oil-nointing than the other. Presumably, the foolish virgins knew GOD's promises and claimed them in faith without working out their salvation. Unlike the foolish virgins, the wise virgins not only knew GOD's promises but also the terms and conditions to fulfil them. They worked out their salvation. One group fulfilled the requirements and made it to the wedding feast, while the other did not. Therefore, knowing GOD's promises is not enough. We need to meet the conditions. Jesus is no exception, and He met GOD's condition before He was given a name beyond others. Many of GOD's promises are conditional, meaning we must pay a price for them. In other words, they require sacrifices. Without doing so, we cannot claim the promises. Even though Jesus paid the price for our salvation, it does not mean it is free. To claim it, we must repent from our sins. That is to mean we must sin no more. We are not free to do as we wish but what GOD wants of us. Many know the promise of salvation, but a few are aware of the condition that they have to sin no more. If they had known, many would not have jeopardised their eternal life for eternal condemnation by sinning. Sinning gives us temporary gratifications but eternal sorrows. Therefore, it is not worth the indulgence. Living in GOD's promises is like enjoying the breathtaking mountain view. However, to enjoy the view, we must scale the mountain. Realistically, without scaling the mountain, there will be no view. If we do not scale, we remain like chickens that peck the ground instead of eagles that soar into heaven. As much as we might be acrophobic, remember, when Adam and Eve fell, GOD cursed the ground, and the consequence of that is we must toil to eat off the ground all the days of our lives. Both thorns and thistles will make the ground yield for us. Instead of eating from the sweetness of the fruits, we eat the blandness and bitterness of the plants of the field. Today, if we think that our lives lack sweetness, we can change it by scaling the mountain of GOD's Word. Only then can we distance ourselves from the cursed ground and soar in the blessings of GOD. Yes, as long as we do everything written in the Book, all His promises are always yes and amen to us because GOD rules heaven and earth according to His Word. As simple as it might sound, many do not know its implications. We must become slaves to the Word or slaves to righteousness, as Apostle Paul phrased it. Ultimately, it means we must, according to the Book of Deuteronomy, faithfully obey the voice of the LORD our God and be careful to follow all His commandments. No matter how we choose to understand it, we must be obedient to His Law 100%. Where He leads, and we must follow. When He says yes, we will not say no. We willingly relinquish our rights to be under His sovereignty as Christ did for the Kingdom of Heaven. In truth, GOD holds sovereignty over heaven and earth because He is the creator of them. Everything in the universe revolves around Him, whether we want to acknowledge it or not. His kingdom comes, and His will be done on earth as in heaven. As much as we want, nothing revolves around us - our wishes, hopes, or purposes. We are not the centre of anything, not by our will, our might or our strength. Nothing happens unless GOD permits it. If our lives ever turn out well, it is that we first seek the kingdom of GOD and His righteousness because GOD does not bless unrighteous people. For the righteous, He ensures that we are the head and not the tail; we will only move upward and never downward. Only when we recognise we are nothing without Him will we be willing to align ourselves according to His will so that we may bear much fruit. It is not without reason that the Bible writes, 'Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven'. Only those who are not blinded by their self-centredness know they are poor in spirit. They recognise their spiritual emptiness and the need for GOD, seeking Him with all their hearts. Only they will find Him. Be that as it may, many understand that Jesus is the vine, that we are the branch, and that we can do nothing without Him. However, that is not the case when they are in church. Nobody goes to church to pray as the branch for His kingdom to come and His will be done. Few pray to be more like Jesus in obedience to GOD the Father and love others as Jesus has loved us, fulfilling GOD's will on earth. Instead, we pray for ourselves for our kingdom to come so that we can be wealthy and better than most men, winning their admiration. We pray against those who go against us and despise them as they are not like us. We fail to be better persons because we are not like Christ, full of the fruit of the Spirit. Many times, difficult people are those who are different from us and have different perspectives coming from contracting circumstances. Once we have the patience to understand them, they might not be as obstinate as they seem. Similarly, there are no wayward children, only neglected ones. All we need to do is exhibit the fruit of the Spirit, and many things will change. When we do that, we invite the Holy Spirit to work in our midst. There is no situation that is impossible for GOD to resolve. When a man's ways please Him, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. GOD will fill our shortcomings with His strength to be what He wants us to be: good children, spouses, parents, friends or enemies. If any of them slaps us on our right cheek, we will turn to him the other. If he forces us to go one mile, we will go with them two. And if he wants to take our tunic, we will let him have our cloak as well. To meet the unreasonable demand of going a mile is stretching beyond human limits. And to go for an additional mile is inhuman; it requires divine empowerment. GOD is not joking when He asks us to go the extra mile. If we cannot, it only means that we are not empowered to do so and are unable to follow instructions. Therefore, we need to go before GOD on our knees, asking for His divine intervention so that we can do what we cannot. If not, we cannot fulfil the will of GOD. Many might think GOD is teasing for stating such an OMG request, but He is not. He was also not teasing when He asked the Israelites to conquer the promised land dominated by giants. Though time and situation have changed, GOD has not. Even when there are no more giants to fight, His demands are as impossible as ever. To do His will, we need more than human strength; we need divine empowerment to deny our internal resistance, which is called fallen nature. Only then will we be able to carry the cross and follow the path of Jesus. As ugly as it might sound, if we cannot deny our fallen nature, we cannot embrace GOD will and welcome His kingdom. The big question is: are we still GOD's children if we do not do His will? Can we believe in GOD, do whatever we want and still be called children of GOD? Simply put, can we pass a maths test without knowing how to answer the questions and only knowing the English words? The bottom line is if we cannot do everything written in the Book of the Law, how do we qualify as children of GOD? Many might argue that the rule has changed, and it is no longer by work but by grace through faith that we are saved. It is a gift of GOD. We do not need to work for our salvation but to believe and have faith. Jesus came to settle all the documentation for us so we could have an unconditional visa to heaven. Yes, it is true, but it is not as simple as what we think. Salvation is a gift only by GOD's gracious invitation and not something that we can buy with our work. GOD is magnanimous and has given everyone an invitation to salvation through Jesus Christ without prejudice. However, if we decide to accept the invitation, we need not do anything except attend the wedding banquet where GOD has prepared for His Son. The condition is we need to dress according to the wedding code. If we do not, we will be thrown out, as illustrated in the parable of the wedding banquet. Even though salvation is not by work, it does not mean we do not need to put any effort into it, as some might assume. The only thing free is the invitation. We are not prequalified to be invited, but anything more than that is not. If we are staying for the banquet, we need to change to wedding clothes. There are expectations to be met. Therefore, we cannot oversimplify things or assume wrongly. No work does not mean no expectations. When GOD promised Joshua success in all that he did as the next leader after Moses's death, the condition was that he must know the Book of the Law by heart by meditating on it day and night and that he be careful to do everything written in it. Only then, figuratively, will whatever he touches turn into gold, implying that all God's promises are "Yes" and "Amen." He understood the gravity of his situation, as no one was fit enough to fight the giants. In other words, they are digging their graves. GOD did not ask Joshua to hope in Him to deliver them but to do everything written in the Book. If GOD were to save the Israelites regardless of whether they adhere to His Word or not, then it would be redundant to instruct Joshua to mediate night and day in His word. Therefore, knowing the Word is paramount to his success. Likewise, it is paramount to our success, and we should put in every effort to seek it. Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then, you will prosper and succeed in all you do. All roads might lead to Rome, but there is only one way that leads to prosperity and success. Some might think it is through hard work, creativity, perseverance or any positive traits. They are definitely good attributes, but they are not the way.

We do not need to work for our salvation but to believe and have faith. Jesus came to settle all the documentation for us so we could have an unconditional visa to heaven. Yes, it is true, but it is not as simple as what we think. Salvation is a gift only by GOD's gracious invitation and not something that we can buy with our work. GOD is magnanimous and has given everyone an invitation to salvation through Jesus Christ without prejudice. However, if we decide to accept the invitation, we need not do anything except attend the wedding banquet where GOD has prepared for His Son. The condition is we need to dress according to the wedding code. If we do not, we will be thrown out, as illustrated in the parable of the wedding banquet. Even though salvation is not by work, it does not mean we do not need to put any effort into it, as some might assume. The only thing free is the invitation. We are not prequalified to be invited, but anything more than that is not. If we are staying for the banquet, we need to change to wedding clothes. There are expectations to be met. Therefore, we cannot oversimplify things or assume wrongly. No work does not mean no expectations. When GOD promised Joshua success in all that he did as the next leader after Moses's death, the condition was that he must know the Book of the Law by heart by meditating on it day and night and that he be careful to do everything written in it. Only then, figuratively, whatever he touches will turn into gold, implying that all God's promises are "Yes" and "Amen." He understood the gravity of his situation, as no one was fit enough to fight the giants. In other words, they are digging their graves. GOD did not ask Joshua to hope in Him to deliver them but to do everything written in the Book. If GOD were to save the Israelites regardless of whether they adhere to His Word or not, then it would be redundant to instruct Joshua to mediate night and day in His word. Therefore, knowing the Word is paramount to his success. Likewise, it is paramount to our success, and we should put in every effort to seek it. Prayer: Dear God, help us to understand more of your Words through the Holy Spirit so we are equipped to do your Will on this earth and to glorify your Name. Amen

Understanding His Faithfulness Psalm 100:5 For the LORD is good, and His loving devotion endures forever; His faithfulness continues to all generations. Have we ever wondered why Jesus came only approximately 4000 years after Adam? There are estimated to be thirty-four generations from Adam to Abraham and forty-two generations from Abraman to Jesus, totalling seventy-six generations. The figures imply that salvation came after 4000 years and seventy-six generations later. Are these figures just numbers, or is there significance in them? Many might be unaware that GOD not only speaks through His Words but also His actions. Therefore, the Bible consists of more than the law, rules, and practices. It consists of stories and events that reflect the act of GOD in the lives of His people. When GOD says He will be good to His people, the stories will reflect His goodness to His people. Then, the next question we will ask is, how many times? If it is all the time, then there must be sufficient records proving it. Basically, GOD will do what He says and what He says are not empty words. Hence, the Bible records the events as testimonies of GOD's goodness. If GOD says He will show loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments, He will do it. Even if the promise is yet to be fulfilled, then heaven and earth will have to wait for Him to fulfil His promise before the world can come to an end or anything else can happen that will jeopardise His promise. If not, GOD does not live up to His Words, speaking in a figure of speech and exaggeration. It means He cannot be trusted, overpromising and under-delivering. Therefore, GOD let time prove everything, and what He says is true. GOD took 4000 years and seventy-six generations to demonstrate His faithfulness to His Word. Despite all the unfaithfulness from His people through the generations, God remains faithful and even sends Jesus to the cross for His unrepentant people. In any given situation, even if all have given up, GOD will never give up. GOD has to prove Himself faithful even in our unfaithfulness. Paul asserts that if we are faithless, GOD remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself. Therefore, time became the acid test of GOD's true nature. He is what He is according to His Words, without addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division to them. When GOD says, 'My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish,' there can be no deviation. And if GOD says a thousand generations to those who love Him, it must be a thousand generations and nothing less. Just imagine someone telling us something, giving us a solemn promise, and at the end of it, saying he was joking and did not mean what he said. GOD is not like that; He is not a Joker, and He does not joke with His promises. GOD is faithful in His promises, but not all promises are easy to grant, especially those involving the destruction of our enemies. Because being kind to one is being cruel to the other, we must be patient with GOD because all things must happen according to His will in His time. Our enemies are nothing more than good people being disobedient. Therefore, many things cannot be rushed, and we must understand that if it is not within GOD's perfect timing, we cannot see the promise. It is written in Hebrews that many were all commended for their faith, yet they did not receive what was promised. To say it bluntly, GOD did not save them from their enemies because the timing was not right. The reality of living in the dualistic world is that for good to live is for evil to die, or for light to exist is for darkness to vanish. Therefore, if it is not time for GOD to destroy evil like the way GOD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, then the good will have to suffer. When we pray for GOD to deliver us from evil, and if it is not happening, it is not that GOD is dead, but we need to have patience. As much as GOD wants to deliver us from our sufferings by destroying evil, He first needs to save those still in bondage to evil. In Epistle 2 Peter writes: The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance. As long as there is a possibility that someone might change his heart for GOD, GOD is willing to wait. It is similar to taking a plane. As long as we have checked for departure, the plane will wait even though we are late for boarding. Therefore, Jesus said, "And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them at the last day. For it is My Father's will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him at the last day." In other words, as long as our names are in GOD's manifest, we will never miss the plane. God is adamant about fulfilling His promises on the one condition that none of His chosen ones perish, but everyone comes to repentance. That is GOD's faithfulness. Only when GOD is assured that all who are good have left the so-called Sodom and Gomorrah will He show no mercy in destroying it. GOD is answerable to those who love Him and keep His commandments to be faithful to their thousand generations. There is a little secret here. If we want to see our children, grandchildren, and many generations after that be well, we must love GOD and keep His commandments faithfully and carefully. Even if we are not good parents and grandparents, GOD will not fail us in taking care of them. In other words, when we are faithful to GOD, He will take care of our fruit. It is when we take care of the roots, and the fruits will take care of themselves. When we have strong roots with GOD, our fruit will naturally be strong. Even when we are long gone, His faithfulness will never leave them. In view of GOD's commitment to the descendants of those who love Him, He must be faithful not only to the living but also to the dead. GOD is in a tight spot, having to find a fair balance between them. Therefore, in the parable of the weeds, GOD did not remove the weeds from the wheat but let them grow together until harvest. There is another way of looking at this parable. GOD is faithful even to the evil ones, as seen in the parable. He will not prematurely remove the weeds until harvest, giving the weeds a chance to be full-grown before they are removed. The epistle of James writes: Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Only when sin is full-grown will it lead to death. Any time shorter than full-grown, GOD will not sentence them to death. That is GOD's mercy and grace. Though a weed cannot change to a wheat, a man can change from one who belongs to evil to good. The penitent thief on the cross next to Jesus changed in his last hours. If GOD had prematurely removed him, he would have missed his salvation. Many times, we will not understand GOD's wisdom, especially those whom the thief stole from. Just imagine the frustration, anguish, and suffering the thief would have caused if he had stolen from the poor, needy and helpless. We must know that a thief has no morals; if not, he would not be stealing. He would not have considered the consequences of his actions to his victims. Despite all the evil he had done, everything could be forgiven through Jesus. To the thief, this is grace, but to his victims, it is injustice and unfairness. That is the fact, whether we like it or not. GOD is not going to ostracise the thief for us. It becomes our obligation to forgive if we love GOD. To forgive is a huge obstacle we must overcome. As Jesus taught us to pray: And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. Instead of hating our enemies, we must love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, that we may be sons of our Father in heaven. If we do not forgive, GOD is not going to forgive us. Therefore, when we meet with our oppressors, we must be magnanimous and forgive. No matter how unwilling we feel, this unwillingness will turn to willingness if we understand how much Jesus suffered for us. If we are reluctant because we cannot see the pain of Jesus on the cross, then we will lose more than what we have lost: our eternity. Never be penny wise, pound foolish. Therefore, when we pray, please refrain from praying for the death of our enemies or curse them to hell. That is not biblical. All we can do is to ask GOD to deliver us from our enemies. Anything more than that is evil. We must understand that GOD hates the sin but loves the sinners. Therefore, when sinners oppress us, we must learn to forebear and not sin against GOD by complaining. We must remember the condition of GOD's forgiveness is that we forgive those who sin against us. As in the story of the prodigal son, GOD shows His faithfulness by His willingness to wait and keep on waiting for His sons to come back. However, it is on His terms and not on their terms. That wait can be as many years as it needs, as nothing can stop GOD from being faithful. In our lifetime, we can only see a fraction of GOD's divine plan, not the whole plan. Therefore, we must have faith in GOD as Abraham did when GOD promised to make him a great nation and that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky. Abraham never once saw any of those happen. GOD is faithful; even when Abraham was long gone, GOD ensured that He fulfilled what He promised. What can we understand through this? We count our time by years within a lifetime, while GOD counts His by generations by thousands of years. What is considered a long time to us is not long to Him. Though long, GOD's plan is not infinite but finite, with a definite beginning and an ending. Within His allocated time, He will demonstrate who He is through the lives of His people. If GOD does not prove Himself, what He says might be empty words. However, when GOD reveals Himself, it is not as simple as writing a book. His Words must become life, force or energy to His people, leading the way and revealing the truth. When we want to know GOD, we must read His actions. As action speaks louder than words, we must countercheck His Word with His action to know His true intent. His actions are a way GOD uses to define His Word so that there is no misinterpretation. If GOD says He loves us, then how much does He love us? For that, He has to show us through His action. If GOD does not demonstrate it, then what is the value of His Word? When GOD says He loves us, it means He is willing to die for us. That is when we see GOD as Christ on the cross. That far exceeds any love declaration from any man to his lover. Without His actions, we cannot understand the magnitude of His love. Therefore, be highly suspicious of salesmen promoting GOD, like selling snake oil, with their stories and testimonies from their unverified scriptwriters, which are fictitious. Do not be swept away like Eve did by the words of the Serpent. Be also suspicious of false prophets who weave lies with the truth. Only the Bible is the officially accepted Word of GOD. Therefore, please do not believe in any unofficial sources that will convince us with a bit of truth and lead us to lies. GOD has used 4000 years to write about Himself in His stories, and they should be enough to lead us through the most one hundred and twenty years of our lives. Prayer: Thank you, God, for your faithfulness to me through time and generations. Your faithfulness knows no boundary or obstacle. Even when I am unfaithful and evil, you remain faithful. Your love for me will never change. As you will never give up on me, let me not give up on myself. Continue to be that hand that lifts me when I fall and to guard me from my foolishness as I find my way home to you. Amen.
