God is for us

God’s love for us surpasses anything

God felt disappointed with man and thought of ending the human kind. He created us to make Him smile and we made Him cry more than laughing. Some believers choose problems on God’s behalf when they speak to Him and remember only about the problem. When Jesus asked the disciples what people said about Him, He wanted to know that the people called Him Savior. God knows us too well and He wants the world to recognize His greatness and power through in us. Many believe in God but there are few who can shine through/transpire the light and power of God. Most people cry out to God to ask, to lament or to murmur. The word of God on the book of Romans 8:31 says that: “if God is for us, who can be against us?” Even though we forget it in some specific moments. Our adversaries are not on God’s level because none of them match God. We have adversaries but, when we look through the eyes of Jesus, they disappear. God allows us to see through His eyes. Jesus turned Himself in human likeness. He was flesh and bone. He ate, slept and went to the bathroom. No one suffered more pain in life than Him. Regardless of that, His vision was divine. When He knew about the death of His friend Lazarus, He said that he was only sleeping and declared that to be for the glory of God, instead of having reactions like crying and mourning for His loss, because He saw with spiritual eyes.

What for us is death is only sleeping for Him. What is irreversible for us, to Him is an opportunity to glorify God’s name and what He wants is to make people see the way He does.

There is a strong bad influence that infects us coming from all sides in this mundane life. The vision of the material man is different than the spiritual one, and what the spiritual man sees, for the material one is craziness. God loves His son and did everything that was possible for Him. When parents build, they build thinking on their children and they felt satisfied, they have pleasure in investing in their children. God is like this and He gave power to His son. Somebody must have been thinking of the reason why someone so important as the Son of God was sacrificed. I can’t say how much God loves us. He invested everything in His son and then gave Him to die for us so we could live. It’s impossible to say that God does not love us or that He has abandoned us but who has the love of Christ in his life, Satan can’t come close to him. How many in this world try to spare their children and want to take their pain to themselves. God put all our pain in His Son and didn’t spare Him. He sacrificed His own Son so we would not have more pain, so we would be spared. God felt sadness, cried and turned the back to His Son to the point that Jesus asked why He has been forsaken. God says that nobody can triumph against you because He paid the price. He felt pain, your pain, your defeat and your humiliation. We can no longer be slaves to the prostitution, addiction, hatred and neither miserable. The price paid was too high. Jesus was given as an offer for all of us. Even someone demonic as Zacchaeus, Jesus wanted to stay in his house and brought salvation. He dismissed His disciples to be the light of the world. Take the light to the life of everyone and, if it is an enemy, hug him tighter. In 1th Timothy 5:8 it says that anyone who does not provide for their relatives, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. Jesus intercedes in our behalf. He is our lawyer before God and He defends us from any accusations. He is the one who purifies us.
