ISAIAH 55:3 - "TRUE FORGIVENESS"

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) "Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live;" Like Nacho would say, "Let's get down to the nitty-gritty". What is true forgiveness? It is Love! We really can not know the heart of God, unless we experience His Mighty Love! You can try to hear all you want, and you can try and see all you can; but unless you open up your heart and receive His Love, it is all for nothing,(that means noughta for you; you know where you are). We really can not see how much He loves us, without opening the eyes of our hearts. Jesus did not just go to the cross to die for our sins; He went to the cross to give us life; life everlasting, with Him. This is the Love of God! He did not just forgive us of our sins, but He pours out to us Love beyond measure, (that means you can not measure it; you know who you are). I can write this blog on and on, everyday till I am 'Avitared', but until His Love is revealed in our hearts, it is really all for nothing; just words and postings; things that sound interesting and maybe cause us to think. Because if we really loved God, I mean really loved Him, then we would not hate our brother. Say What? What are you talking about? I don't hate my brother!!! Really? Let me ask you this: Do you ever think ill of your brother? Do you ever wish for them to stumble? Do you ever take solace when they fall? We need to check our hearts; because our heart is desperately wicked, and will want to feel better about itself, even at the expense of others. When we feel this way towards another, we need to repent and ask for forgiveness; and if we have spoken out anything in murmurings or gossip, then we must also ask forgiveness of our brother. We can not really understand the Love of God unless we live it; and we can not live it unless we have received it. Maybe, just maybe you never really received it? What! Are you saying I am not saved? No; that is between you and God. What I am saying is that you thought you did; but really you just received His offer of forgiveness and then went out about doing your life. Let me ask you this: Do you love your brother? Would you lay down your life for your brother? We can claim that we have received God's forgiveness and think that we know what His love is all about; but if it hasn't cause a change in us, then we need to check our heart; our life depends on it. Wow, that wasn't so hard was it? I am glad I choose to look at unforgiveness instead of a real heavy one like 'uncleanness', (that means dirty, oh never mind). If you said that the Living Water is God's Love, you are partially right... "In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that He sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him." (1 John 4:9)
