How He Loves Us. His Jealousy. Our Idolatry.

Who can measure what God does? Who can outgive Him? We can't but we sometimes make it seem like we could. There is jealousy in the love of God. That's why He he made certain of idolatry being abominable for Him. He offered His own Son for a bunch of selfish creatures just much more intelligent than the animals. He gave and took nothing in return. He just gave for God so loved the world.  And all that we could ever do is to get. Because we have to satisfy our needs. HOW WE LOVE HIM NOT We forget about Him, we forget about what He's done and go on doing what we've known and what we've already mastered. We would try be invulnerable of the Spirit and do our thing.

I took a strum on the guitar I borrowed from my brother (the spiritual brother). Then  sang choruses of God-exalting songs from Jesus Culture band.  Then I whispered a prayer and bowed for a fervent one.  I am in awe. I am awestruck by God's presence. How He would answer the prayer of the righteous. Again, that is by grace. And so it goes....
