In His Likeness w/ AntTBri

I live and love in awe of the faithfulness of our God. The Word states his heart is that none be lost. Engrafted into the plan, purpose and provision of God are opportunities of faith…chance after chance to get and do right. It is never the love of God that fails us but it is our choice to remain the same, our failure to submit and surrender our way of going about life and love that disqualifies us. The bible states that God is married to the back slider. He is so committed to us that He makes the most intimate appeals to secure our trust. Does the love of God respond to our refusal, rejection and or rebellion of the Word? Can we live and love with the consequence? Is it a matter of choice?

Many of us have been praying for our love ones, trusting that they will come to know the love of God towards them. We believe that realization will be the defining factor…change that is needed. We love them, want what is best for them and are overjoyed when God moves upon them. We hope this will be the time, thing, talk that reaches them. Our heart applauds the wisdom of God, we marvel at the way the Holy Spirit presents the choice again and we stand back and watch, wait to see what they will choose because we realize that although we love them we cannot make the choice for them. God in His wisdom, keeps making appeals and allowing us to see and acknowledge His faithfulness so there will be peace within the outcome.

As God purposed, and placed on our hearts to pray that they’re not lost or never come to know the fullness or freedom experienced in the love of God we are blessed to witness His faithfulness in execution. How much He loves us to allow us to see it, and them to extend Himself at the point of their and our need of them. Our God is awesome! We can’t control or determine their response nor can we hold ourselves responsible for their choice…BUT we can continue to pray and praise God for His faithfulness to His Word, Way and Work and rest in the fact that the outcome of their hearts choice is predicated upon them only…nothing we said, did or didn’t do (vica versa). God in His faithfulness strategically resets life and love so all parties involved have an opportunity to own their choice of Him whether we’re going to live and love in accordance to His Word (His Way) or persist in our way. Either way the faithfulness of God remains evident upon life and love. Only the love of God can reach us at the point of our need. Only the faithfulness of God can help us come to terms and accept the reality of life and love process. He’s working the perfection of His plan. The purpose of God for life and love prevails! Our God is faithful and we can safely trust that He is perfecting those things concerning us. As God respects “our choice, our consequence ” we that are spirit lead must continue to pray that the lost will be fully persuaded to live and love in His likeness~AntTBri
