Juggling

Great blessings to which I aspire may not be forced but offered and accepted or denied. Love is never a thing of force, demand or requirement but is always extended as the priceless gift that reaches beyond individual wants and desires to look for the best even in sacrifice. They do not wish continue then retreat is demanded.

Having clearly stated my unwillingness to push that which must be determined by the individual, I am not God. The Lord does not conform to a personal expectation or vain imagination of who He is or How He behaves. He is God and I am not. As a created being the hands that shaped me have always had the absolute right to determine that which I was capable of becoming, I did not make me.

God is doing an incredible thing that astounds the angels in curiosity and amazement. He gives to us an offering of adoption, forgiveness, love and power with the express expectation that we will choose whatever we choose. That is love. In that same vein and resolve, I see the predicaments and purpose not only in my life but in those around me. I am neither responsible for your choices nor am I capable as are the Hands of God of offering you salvation and ever lasting life. I am a messenger, a powerful one, but only a herald of God’s Love offering to each of you. I cannot enforce love for that is contrary to its nature, nor may I effectively deliver the truth by enabling your vain imagination or a lie.

You will hear from me the wonderful story of God’s Love for Creation, His adoration of you as a person, a purpose and a joint heir to be in Christ Jesus. In my immaturity I thought the outcomes were my responsibility but that was my own worldliness. You alone may make your choices and build or deny a relationship with God Most High. Although I weep when I see as Jesus did that the sheep do not wish to be counted among the gathered, your choice is the priceless gift you have been given. I will not diminish what He has done by worrying about your indecision, resistance or dawdling. Time is finite, the offer is time sensitive, that is truth.

What you accomplish through Holy Spirit again is not within my power to limit or increase, that is a thing entirely between you and God. Perhaps you will be as potent a character as David or Moses, I pray it is so, but that is between you and God alone. I am not Him. I am not sent to coddle, enable or condone your sin, even if that sin is as evasive as sloth or despair. You will do and be whatever you choose to be until you surrender to His mighty purpose and direction for your life, after that He will direct you to exactly what He has planned for your life before the beginning of time. That is AFTER you have made the choice to accept His loving offer of Grace. Before that you served the enemy or self.

Are you a Friend or Foe of God? I honesty do care which you choose but I have no desire to control or persuade you to that outcome. God’s Holy Spirit is the only Person that may call you to Grace. I do not know what He is saying to you right now, as He knows you in a way that I never will. However, I do know through His scripture and experience in this service that He is placing conviction, demands and offering you loving care that I can never fulfill. I must juggle my desire to see you get to a place with the fact that you must decide first to where you will go. If it is to the Cross to meet Jesus and end the war with God forever, well Amen and Amen.
