"Look Deep"

"How excellent is Thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Thy wings." (Psalms 36:7) When it comes to our dependence upon God, something like love is not always what stands right out and makes us take notice; mostly because we are so prone to love all the wrong things, especially when it come to those things that will satisfy our hunger for the love that only God can fill. We all are born in this world with a certain void within us that can only be filled with God's Spirit; it was present in Adam before the fall, and it was part of the death that God spoke about being the result of eating of that fruit. All through our lives we try filling that void with all sorts of foolish things; but there is nothing that can fill such a void found in this fallen world; that is except Jesus, who came down from His glory in heaven to this fallen world, that He could demonstrate the love that we had been missing, fill the void within our existence, and bridge the gap between us and our Heavenly Father. When it comes to the 'lovingkindness' of God, there is nothing more boldly demonstrated to man than what Jesus did on the cross; He did what we could not do, He paid the price for our sins, a price we could have never paid, not in a thousand years of trying to be righteous. As a matter of fact, the Bible declares that our righteousness is just filthy rags to God; that in our attempt to make ourselves clean by our own righteousness, is like talking something meant to be clean and pure, wiping it on our filthy sinful bodies, and then handing it up to God as if it is to be accepted as pure; but they are rages covered sin and wickedness. Our greatest problem is that we are always looking deep within ourselves searching for answers, and trying to find the secret to what might be hidden deep within; but it's not within ourselves where the answer is to be found, but deep within God's lovingkindness towards us, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us; demonstrating that He did not die for the righteous, but for those that were lost and separated from God because of sin; having no other way to be redeemed, except to look deep within the love of God and just believe... "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, but wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto Me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come unto Me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David." (Isaiah 55:1-3)
