Abandoning Evil

It is truly wise to revere the Lord,
Deserted evil is fruit of true insight.
So abandon all bitterness and rage,
Also, angry slanderous harsh conflict.

All malicious behavior must be ignored.
Do not pretend to be good and right,
Be finished with any hypocritical stage.
Diligent godliness will abolish evil’s life.

“I will never fail you. I will never forsake you”. Hebrews 13:5



What does that tell us about Him?

It speaks of the heart of our God. He loves us so much that He will never leave us. He loves us so unconditionally that He makes that an engraved in stone commitment to us. Read it for yourself, it is found in Hebrews 13:5.

Now think of all the reasons that you have given this good God to leave you. Are you still grounded in the inflexible position that God is a rigid entity?

When I think of all the reasons that I have given Him to leave me, I am overwhelmed by His love for me. All the sins I have committed in my past, all the sins I have committed today and all the sins I will succumb to in the future, and still I can call out to Him and He is there for me. I am stupefied. I am overwhelmed. I am cut to the very depth of my heart by that kind of love. This infinite creator loves me so much that even though I may walk away from Him, He will not walk away from me.

Imagine!

This awesome creator who spoke the world into existence, could speak to the sky and cause lighting to strike me down, does not move a muscle to stop me from leaving Him if I chose to.

Love is only love when it is willingly given. Given without any strings attached. He wishes us to come to Him in that manner. Come just as we are, no need to clean up our act, He will take care of our transformation, no need to do anything except surrender to His will for our lives. It is truly that simple. It is miraculously that simple, for He is a God of simplicity.
