We can’t imagine the emptiness of life without God’s love.
We can’t imagine the fullness of life with God’s love.
So why do we ignore it?
Though we are faithless,
God remains faithful to give us mercy if we will just ask.
So why do we ignore it?
When we are hopeless, dying from the failures and wrongs in life.
We can find hope in the Lord who has triumphed over all even death.
So why do we ignore—God’s love, His faithfulness, and the Hope He offers?
We ignore it when we are distracted by other things
We have ears that do not hear above the noise of this world.
We have eyes that do not see beyond the glitter of this world.
But God sends His Spirit to stir our spirit with conviction for ignoring the Lord.
“The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your forefathers when he said through Isaiah the prophet:
Go to this people and say,
You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
For this people’s heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.” Acts 28:25-27
So stop letting lesser things hold your attention,
for they cause you to miss out on all of God’s good things.
