WHATZ LUV GOT @ Doo WITH IT?

We've all heard the song by Tina Turner: Whats love got to do with it? Whats love but a second hand emotion? But is this true? Is love just a fickle second hand emotion. I suppose the kind of love we see in the world today would make this song seem very true. Love today has a sensual overtone. It is fleeting many times. It is something people fall into and out of as fast as they change their undergaments in many cases. "Oh is He ever HOT!..I am SOOOOOO in love!!! Wowsa, what a babearama!" Then next week someone more handsome walks into the room, and voila, the 'love' fades away faster than it sprouted up. God's love for us is not like this. His love is everlasting. His love is so deep and wide that He would give the very Son of His love, to die a horrible death on the cross so you and I could be reconciled back to Him. His love is an agape love, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. A friend of mine once compared His love to the Niagara Falls, it just goes on and on, flowing from the heart of Father God towards those who look to His Son for freedom from sin, and who put their faith and trust in Him to save them, and to bring them when they die to Heaven to live eternally with the God who has shed His blood on Calvary's cross? Why do so many spit on that precious cross? Why do so many resist His sweet love instead of running into the Good Shepherd's arms? What is so spectacular this world has to offer> We are born, we live a while...and then we die. I used to live my life in a purple haze of drugs and alcohol to cope with all my inner pain, and I'm far from alone. Meanwhile, what I was lacking was HIM. Him who? Jesus! Can the answer be so simple? Yes! He is the only answer to this sin sick world of so much misery. He has promised to make a new earth where sin sorrow and suffering will be taken away. A place of such bliss and sweetness, our human minds can't even begin to fathom how wonderful that place will be. The Bible [God's Word] gives us a few glimmers of what it will be like, but yet it will be beyond anything we could picture in the here and now. Something so grand it would be beyond our limited human grasp to imagine the eternal weight of Glory.... Do you want to be there? Then run into the Good Shepherd's arms, and tell Him how very sorry you are for sinning against Him. Tell Him you desire nothing more than to follow Him as your Shepherd, and long to be pursued by Him all the days of your life, until death do you meet Him in Glory....FACE TO FACE!
