Consequences of Love

But for those who honor the Lord, his love lasts forever, 
      and his goodness endures for all generations


Psalm 103:17

Good News Translation (GNT)

          God's word tells us of His promises to His children.  Our God is a just God and an honorable God full of mercy and love for us.  We have a choice.  Do we accept God on His terms or reject Him on our terms?  Every choice has its consequences.   What do you choose?

If you love me, you will obey my commandments.

John 14:15

  1. >>...We have a choice. Do we accept God on His terms or reject Him on our terms?

    LEE, that reminded me of one of my favorite C.S. Lewis quotes:

    There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, “Thy will be done”, and those to whom God says, in the end, “Thy will be done”. All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. To those who knock it is opened.
    ~ C.S. Lewis
    from his book “The Great Divorce”

    My friend & blogging buddy Anniee recommended that book to me shortly before she passed away. Glad I read it.

    Nothing?! Not even 'Mere Christianity' or 'The Screwtape Letters'? If not, I suggest you start there. The guy was freakin' brilliant!

  4. My mind and heart choose to obey. The flesh is another story - a daily battle!
