My heart is heavy. My thoughts wonder, "How can this be?" Have they not heard? Where are the preachers? I want to go out into the streets, highways, and byways and shout, "You have forgotten God! Where is your fear of God?" How can we have laws that allow women to choose abortion as if it is JUST a CHOICE! Yes, it is a choice, alright! Without realizing that there is a person who is being killed. BUT WHERE IS THE PREACHING THAT SEX OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE IS WRONG? If this was OUT LOUD, then MAYBE people might at least have a twinge of guilt as they engage in sex or Afterwards!
My heart hurts, because God's heart hurts! He longs to be compassionate to his children. As I was reading Ps. 103 this morning it says, "For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who FEAR HIM." vs. 11 Again, in verse 13: " As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who FEAR HIM." vs. 17: "But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who FEAR HIM and his righteousness with their children's children, with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts." The last verse says, "Praise the Lord, O my soul." Yes, I will praise the Lord! I so desire to lift HIM up! This is my life mission: to glorify God with my life, words, choices, how I spend my time, money, things HE has given to me! I am still a work in progress, no doubt, But HE loves me and is changing me from the inside out. It is a work that only by yielding to his hand can HE mold and make me more like Jesus. I CAN'T DO IT! LISETNING AND WALKING WITH HIM HAND IN HAND EACH DAY, Enjoying our days together…..that is peace that passes ALL UNDERSTANDING!
So, I wonder…..how did we get this far wrong that we don't even think about sex outside of marriage as going against God or ourselves. As a matter of fact, we can just live together and it is OK.
If we want God's compassion on America, we've got to BRING BACK THE FEAR OF GOD! Because when we do, He is free to shower us with his love and blessings. That's where I choose to live!
