A thought that keeps hitting me (okay only twice, but it hit HARD)..
is that while our God is patient, loving, merciful, and full of grace... It doesn't give us any right to treat God like dirt.
You know what I mean?
Sometimes, we (yes, WE. not they) run away and expect God, in His grace and mercy, to draw us back to Himself. We wait for Him to take the action, to somehow lure us back to himself. We say, "if God really loves me, He'll come to me."
And you know what?
More often than not, He does.
And that's plain unfair.
Not that I'm complaining that God is full of grace, because I myself am a recipient of that grace. Still, I don't think it gives us any right to take advantage of that.
Afterall, God is God. Just think about it. BIG SCARY GOD. He's not scary because He's mean or anything. He's not. But the sheer magnitude of who He is. His power, His majesty, His glory. It's... bone shaking.
Yes, God is loving, and He stoops down for us. But that doesn't make us greater than Him.
Ultimately, we are still human.
I guess the solution to this is to actually realise that the floodgates of God's grace and mercy are only opened when we turn and repent.
Not before.
We can't run away from God and just expect Him to force us back into church "if He truly loves us"
