What if I told you that God&#039;s love for you and for&nbsp;<span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">all of humanity is the truest and most palpable thing in existence. God has not&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">love, but God is love. In reality, from the beginning, Man was created&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">to be loved and to love in return. God desired you and he still desires you. He desires&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">a relationship with you, he wants you to accept his love for you in order to&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">transform and change you.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">If you have read my book about &quot;My Journey to Please the King&#039;s Heart&quot;, you know that I am&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Born into a believing family, the Bible verses were not unknown to me.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">This passage of John 3:16, I have followed it more than once, yet there is little&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">time I grasped it. It is possible that you too have already heard or read it&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">but that you haven&#039;t grasped it yet. From the little experience I have, people don&#039;t&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">do not grasp the love of God for three main reasons: the first reason is&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">that they blame God for what they have experienced and they say to themselves: &quot;Where was he when&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">I needed Him? &quot;, the second reason is that they feel too dirty because <\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">of the sins they may have committed and say to themselves that they are not worthy of Him, and the&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">third reason is simply ignorance due to all the confusion created <\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">around religion. Today in this article we will talk about the first reason.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">You will find the other two articles also available on the site.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Where was He when I needed Him?<\/b><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p1\">Most of us are born into a family (of the same blood or not), but&nbsp;<span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">However, we did not have the same story. I do not know you and I do not know&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">not the childhood you had, but what I know is that your childhood contributed to the&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">person you have become. You have surely had challenges, sadness and&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">disappointments. Life may not have been very kind to you and your scars.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">physical and moral still remind you of this painful past that you lived or that&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">maybe still live.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">I have long heard this phrase: &quot;Where was God when this was happening? If He exists,&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">So why does He let these things happen? But I would like to ask all those&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">who ask themselves this question: &quot;Did you call him?&quot;. Usually during a&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">violation of justice, the detainee is assigned a lawyer, and the latter has the duty to&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">defend as long as he is in charge. However, the prisoner has the possibility of&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">fire your lawyer and get another one. Have you accepted God as your lawyer or have you fired him from your life? Despite his best efforts, a fired lawyer cannot&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">do nothing for his client and God can do nothing for you if you don&#039;t turn to Him.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">On the other hand, you cannot be Cameroonian and live in Cameroon and blame the&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">President of Brazil if your salary has not been paid. What do I mean by that?&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">First, be sure that you are a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven if you want to enjoy a&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">any right. Does this mean that God has no regard for those who are not&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Christians no! However, a person who is not a Christian can be under&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">different laws that she herself ignores and which work against her. This is why Christ&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">came to set the captives free and to send the oppressed at liberty, but if we&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">decide to reject it, how do we hope to experience this freedom. Does this mean that&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Christians don&#039;t suffer? Oh yes! But we suffer with hope&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">that the world does not have.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Many have rejected God as their advocate and have become their&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">own defenders. Are you one of them? You have decided to live your life far from God and you&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">try to justify it by what is happening in the world, when in reality you are trying&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">just to cover up the fact that you haven&#039;t really sought to know Him. You are&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">aware deep down that God is not responsible for what happens,&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">but we have to be angry with someone, we have to justify the hatred that we&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">have. To better understand God&#039;s actions, what He does and what He doesn&#039;t do&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">no, we should start by knowing Him. Yes, God is powerful, yes, He is&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">love, but for Him to act in your life you would first have to desire it.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">&quot;But all these injustices, these deaths, these rapes, these robberies...&quot; I can assure you&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">how sad God&#039;s heart is when He sees all these things, He would like as much as&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">you if not much more, that things change, that the man whom He had created pure&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">in the Garden of Eden, returns to her innocence. Jesus Christ is the symbol of this&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">God&#039;s will to change the world. Jesus Christ is the proof of infinite love&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">of God for humanity. But one problem remains: does humanity really want&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">be saved? God says to you: \u201cSee, I have set before you today life and goodness,&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">death and evil\u2026 choose life\u2026\u201d (Deut. 30:15; 19) God\u2019s wish is that we all&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">we choose the good, however, we must also desire it so that the&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Light reigns in the midst of darkness.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Don&#039;t try to fight against God and the love He has for you, because, yes,&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">God loves you. He loves you so much and would like you to be saved, not only from&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">sin, but also of all forms of pain, sadness and despair.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Despite what you have been through so far, know that God can and wants to restore you. He is&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">the shoulder ready to support you, He is the Handkerchief ready to wipe away your tears, He is the Arm&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">ready to embrace you. Today He says to you: &quot;Behold, I stand at your door and knock. If you&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">hear my voice and open the door, and I will come in to you and dine with you, and you with&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">me&quot; (Revelation 3:20). God wants to begin a new chapter with you, a chapter in which you are not alone facing the world but where you are together in&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">the love, peace and happiness that come from the change He is about to bring about in&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">your life, if you accept Him as your Lord and Savior.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b style=\"color: rgb(64, 50, 38); font-size: 24px; letter-spacing: -0.25px;\">I am not worthy of Him<\/b><br><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We often wrongly believe that God judges us in the same way as men.&nbsp;<span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">A few years ago, I was watching a show with my little sister and we saw&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">a man in prison who was praying. My young sister, astonished at what he was praying, said (speaking of&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">the man in question): &quot;Why does he pray when he has already finished sinning? He wants us to&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">release her to go do the same things again?&quot; Surprised, I turned to her and&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">I said to him: &quot;You know Jesus Christ did not come for the righteous but for the unrighteous&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">&quot; (Mark 2:17) Unfortunately and unconsciously, man tends to judge&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">easily. My sister, however, did not know the life of this man, she did not&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">didn&#039;t know what he had been through, and how he had gotten there, but she&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">He just knew he was in prison and deserved what was happening to him.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Each of us has a past, something we are not necessarily&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">proud. You could have met these people who condemned you without even&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">know, but I have good news for you, Jesus will not do the same with you because&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">that His love is not for condemnation but for healing. The healing of&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">your sorrows and your wounds. The Bible tells us in the book of Romans 5:8 that God&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">shows us his love in that he died for us while we were still&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">sinners. Let the consciousness of sin not distance you from God but bring you closer&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">of Him so that He may transform you. For a long time we have been given a conception of God&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">that to come to Him one had to be Holy, but that doesn&#039;t make sense. It is&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">as if you tell a sick person that to go to the doctor you have to be cured.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">We don&#039;t go to God because we are Saints, we go to Him to&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">that He may make us holy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Ezekiel 18:23 \u201cDo you think that I have any pleasure in the death of the&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">wicked? asks the Lord GOD. Is it not my desire that he should forsake&nbsp;<\/span><\/em><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\"><em>his misconduct and let him live?<\/em> Understand that God does not want you to die&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">or you go to hell. All He expects from you is that you finally turn to&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Him and decide to entrust your life to Him, that you abandon yourself totally to Him, and that you&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">let it work within you. Throughout your childhood you grew up with the concept according to&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">which love is earned. You have to do something to deserve attention,&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">presence, love. You were told you weren&#039;t good enough, that you weren&#039;t doing&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">not enough effort, that you were not worthy. But Jesus Himself tells you that He loved you so much that He gave His life for you. He gave His life to save you from sin, from fear, from&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">anxiety, hatred, sadness, anger, lack of self-confidence...&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Don&#039;t refuse his love.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">So if today you are ready to let yourself be loved by God, go into His presence and&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Let your heart adore Him and your mouth praise Him. Be abundantly blessed.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Ignorance<\/b><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p1\">I found myself specifically in this particular part. Indeed, it is not&nbsp;<span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">It&#039;s not easy to be born into a world full of different mentalities and perceptions.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">religious regarding the subject of religion. Although as I often say,&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">I do not consider the relationship I have with Christ as a religion, but as&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">a relationship, I think before I had my encounter with Christ, religion was just&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">a series of information that didn&#039;t mean much to me.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Theoretical awareness of God&#039;s love seemed beautiful to me, but nothing more. I don&#039;t&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">I didn&#039;t see any connection between him and me, so I simply lived my life.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">life. But the Bible says that he who is forgiven little loves little and he who is&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">forgive much, love much (read Luke 7:36-50). If therefore you are aware of&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Christ&#039;s love for you, you understand that not only has He forgiven you much,&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">but in return you will also want to love him very much. So the first thing is the&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">awareness of our sins, of Christ&#039;s solution to sin (which makes us captive), and&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">finally of a life of consecration that we live in return as a sacrifice&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">reasonable as Paul says in Romans 12:1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The main reason we live in ignorance is because we&nbsp;<span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">have not had a meeting. I therefore invite you to have this meeting which will change&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">your perception of Christ&#039;s love and how you will love him in return. How&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">meet? His word declares that if we seek Him with all our heart, He will&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">will let it be found by us (Jeremiah 29:13). Ignorance is very dangerous because it&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">keeps us in a prison of which we are not aware. Ignorance is also&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">the result of our lack of thirst to know God. We are comfortable&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">in our lives, and we only call on God to blame him for our misfortunes.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">However, the Bible says that eternal life is to know Him, the only true God.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">(John 17:3). Knowing God and His love for us will produce life in us. This life&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">eternal which is not limited to a few years on earth.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>L&rsquo;amour de Dieu pour toi Jean 3 : 16 \u00ab Car Dieu a tant aim\u00e9 le monde qu\u2019il a donn\u00e9 son Fils unique, afin que\u00a0quiconque croit en lui ne p\u00e9risse point, mais qu\u2019il ait la vie \u00e9ternelle. \u00bb Crois-tu que Dieu t\u2019aime ?
