]]> Comment on Mountainous Strokes by derrickengoy http://derrickengoy.com/2012/02/03/mountainous-strokes/#comment-191 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 18:40:26 +0000 http://derrickengoy.com/?p=420#comment-191 It’s definitely hard to understand that God loves us unconditionally, especially in the midst of our junk, isn’t it?

There’s a lot of mystery to God and, quite frankly, we’re not going to fully understand it, even when we’re spending the rest of eternity with Him. It may sound like a cop out, but He’s God and we’re not. We simply can’t fathom everything there is to know about Him.

In issues of love, however, I’m always humbled by the story of Jonah. In a nutshell, it’s a story of how compassionate God is and how un-compassionate we can be. Jonah, a great man of God—a prophet, did everything he could to not show compassion to a nation that, by human standards, didn’t deserve to be loved. Nineveh was an evil city that thrived off of murder, whoring around and human worship, yet, God still wanted to show compassion to them.

I’m reminded that, even though I may not feel the love of God all the time, He is the ultimate lover of humanity and is doing everything He can (without crossing the lines of human will) to show us that He does love us.

It’s humbling, yet hard to fully understand.

When I am struggling with something or experiencing the manifestation of God’s work in my life you write an entry that makes me go, “Whoa!”

I’m saturating my heart with the words in 1 John 4 about God’s love. Because frankly, my heart is incapable of being filled with love 100%. It amazes me that I love God so much, yet, because of my life circumstances I feel hatred. Toward everyone, everything, even the people whom I love. I’ve seen your Tahoe pics and longed to commune with God’s masterpiece myself. But if I can’t love where i am now then what difference will it make if I am surrounded by nature’s beauty? I won’t always be surrounded by beauty.

And maybe that’s it. Maybe I don’t truly believe that God loves me unconditionally.
