I attended a funeral the other day which caused me to wonder what is going on in the mind of God in these times? What must it be like to watch your child pass away? Knowing that they refused to believe in what you told them would happen when they die if they denied your Son as being the Messiah? How crushing it must be to possess all the power and wisdom in the world, yet when it comes to your children making the most important decision in their lives, affecting all of eternity, you are left powerless.
I could sense God’s heart pouring out pleading, saying, “Child what else? What else can I do for you to trust me? What mountain can I move or what sea should I part so that I would get your attention? Please tell me for I am so in love with you and my heart is crying out. It’s unbearable to think you won’t be with me in eternity. Your time on earth was so brief, yet my plans for you continue forever. Plans that I know exceed everything you can imagine.
For you to be cast into hell is gut wrenching. Even more so, for it all could have changed with one decision. You spent your whole life seeking what only I could provide, yet your self-will would not let go its grip on you. If you could only see the tears that flow from my eyes as another one of my children pass away and I must give them up forever.”
You get a glimpse of this when you mourn the loss of someone you cherish.
Now ask yourself, how would you feel if you could see and be with that person forever, if they would have just trusted you in what you shared with them about Jesus?
Please believe, please trust Jesus, please, please, please is all that is left to say.
Just a Thought…
