15 “If you love me, obey my commandments.
21 Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.”
John 14:15, 21 NLT
I read something that seems profound to me. I want to share it with you. It's from Max Lucado's book, In the Eye of the Storm.
He placed one scoop of clay upon another until a form lay lifeless on the ground...
All were silent as the Creator reached in Himself and removed something yet unseen. "It's called choice. The seed of choice."
Within the man, God had placed a divine seed. A seed of His self. The God of might had created Earth's mightiest. The Creator had created, not a creature, but another creator. And the One who had chosen to love had created one who could love in return.
Now it's our choice. Will we?
Prayer:
Father,
Thank You for creating us with freedom of choice. Freedom to love You in return by our choice. Help us, Father, to always recognize what a gift You have given us. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
