Someone once said that if God could be psychoanalyzed, it would be concluded that His love for us is obsessive-compulsive. In Psalm 8:4 David ponders, “What is man that you are mindful of him…?”
Dear Father, you love us because you are love! You can be one with us because your Son came and repaired the breach. I thank you for the grace shown to a beloved unbeliever.
Beloved Unbeliever– I
In the beginning, God gave them a choice
To obey His word and follow His voice
The serpent crept in and planted a lie
Their soul would live on, but their spirit would die
The glory departed, they hid behind leaves
Though loving omniscience has foreknown their grief
He brought skins to cover their fear and their shame
But total salvation would wait on His Name.
For God spoke a word to His children in need
And promised the coming of His Holy Seed.
New life was to come out of that which was dead
Her Seed was to rise up and crush Satan’s head
Beloved unbeliever, resist the deceiver
You’re my passion, and I am your life
There’s remission for sin
I am come—enter in
Through my blood-bought sacrifice.
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” John 14:6
My thoughts
This poem expresses the incomparable, infinite, omniscience of our God. How awesome is He who had the plan for our salvation in place—before the foundation of the world. Such love surpasses all understanding!
