ISAIAH 55:13 - "It's Not An Option!"

"We Love Him, Because He First Loved Us". (1 John4:19) So; What must we do to walk in God's Perfect Will for our lives? Really, it is quite simple! God will never ask us to do more than we are able to do; and when you really think about it, the commandments that we are now told to do are not suppressing, or things which we are under, or told not to do; but instead are refreshing, renewing, and rejuvenate our New Life in Christ. You might notice that I said 'New'; because, even after walking in the Lord for almost 30 years, it is still New; Why? Because, He really does make things New Every Morning! Besides, that is what the word 'Rejuvenate' means: "To make young again"; and when we do the things which Jesus commanded us to do, our lives are renewed. What are His commands again? There are only two: "To Love God with all of our heart, mind, soul and strength; and to Love our neighbor as yourself"; because on these two commands, are all the other Laws hung. So, we are no longer under the Law, but we are actually above the Law; which basically means that the weight of the Law has been lifted, or removed. No longer are we told, "Don't do this, and Don't do that"; but we have a New Standard to live by, which is refreshing, and brings New Life; and that is Love. Okay then; maybe you don't quite see what I am saying yet? It really is not that hard to comprehend! When we are walking in the Love of God, we are not going to do those things which are contrary to His Will. We are not going to hurt others, or be an offence to others; because we will be motivated by Love. And when we are motivated by the Love of God, we will actually care for one another in a way that causes us to share the Love of God; and to share Jesus with those that are condemned, and that need to know about His Love for them. I am not saying that we need to go door to door sharing the Gospel; but you can, if you feel so led to; but what I am saying is that we must be willing to share the Gospel with whomever He makes available for us to share with. It really is not a 'Work' kind of thing that we are talking about; it is more of a 'Life' thing. Where we are living testimonies of what God has done in our lives, so that others are drawn towards us; and then we are able to share with them what it is that gives us the Joy and the Peace that we possess in our hearts. We can not, and should not try to force Jesus on other people; God will make their hearts ready to receive Him; but we must be ready to declare what He puts upon our hearts to share. I really like this illustration in John chapter 4, with the woman at the well; because here we see Jesus start out by just asking for a drink of water; which led to hundreds coming to Him. It really is all about opportunities; where we ask God to provide us with those opportunities to share with others; and guess what: He Will... "If a man say, I Love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: For he that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from Him, "That he who Loveth God, Love his Brother Also". (1 John 4:20 & 21)
