Pondering God’s love.  A quizzical thing.  Why us Lord?  I turn my mind inside out looking for a smidgen of understanding, and come up empty.  I have seen men do some nice things, some unselfish acts, even some instances where people have reflected “some” Godliness.  I have seen dedication to the common good, sacrifice for the poor and conformance to limited righteous ideals.  I have seen small church bodies whose abundant giving was magnified to create enormous impact for the Kingdom.  I have seen courage in the midst of overwhelming difficulty even to the point of death, but none of this rises to the level of sufficient explanation for our deserving the Love of Almighty God.  Especially considering the depth of our offenses the magnitude to which we have been provided for, protected and forgiven.  None of what we have done begins to explain that the unfathomable reasoning behind love for an undeserving species.

Akin to the most common unbeliever question, “If God is Almighty and Sovereign why would he allow evil or bad things to occur in the world?”.   You see these questions cannot be understood or even ventured without the benefit of humility.  To reflect upon the supernatural reasoning requires “super” (above), “natural” (mortal) inspiration.  Searching a print out of code may be interesting, but without the key, the primmer it is unsearchable.  Without God’s assistance these questions are unanswerable for man.

Why then did He implant them within our mind, why are we encoded with an unquenchable desire to seek Him out?  Even the most devout atheist seeks the same answers.  These questions are only answerable through a “living”/”active” relationship with Almighty God.  A relationship where the individual may receive direction, insight and understanding of those things beyond him or herself via the internal/external Voice of God.  A relationship, that is not governed by our explanation of that which we cannot explain.  A relationship with rules that supersede what we want.  A relationship defined by the Divine, fulfilling the purposes of the Divine, so that we may interact with the Divine.

The joyous revelation of the mystery is that these things are “knowable” through the access provided by a Loving God.  He has given us an open door to visit with Him, for the purposes of fellowship, education, protection, counsel, intercession and discipline.  You see I cannot understand those unknowable questions through either my own reasoning or through my demanding answer.  I must first comply with the rules of the Almighty God who designed not only the mortals but also the process by which our questions are answered.  For He alone has the answers to the questions that we have been asking, forcing us to come to Him for resolution of our yearnings.  The satisfaction we seek is possible through relationship with Almighty God.  Thank You Lord for Loving us so much that You even provided a path to resolving our most pressing interrogatives.  You are Awesome and Divine.  Please show me Your Ways so that I may live this life to its fullest.  Jesus Be Praised.
