Evergreen
I'd like to bring something to your attention that can be found in the small print of the contract between us and God's unconditional love.
Hold on, let me get my readers.
Okay. Let's see.
Ahh, here it is.
"The binding contract herein is evergreen and will auto-renew without expiration.
The offeree need only receive and believe in the unconditional love and redemption of the offerer (God). No other terms, conditions, or stipulations apply. "
It's as simple as that.
Thank goodness, reading complex contracts is definitely not my strength.
God's love is evergreen. It is unending.
There are no fixed terms that say we need to be sin-free and perfect, or else the contract will be null and void.
Trust me, I scoured the tiny print, looking for that loophole. I was certain God would only love and redeem us if we were good enough and all fixed up.
Even if we sin and run as far away from God as possible, the contract is still good.
Even if we deny Him, the contract is still good.
Even if we keep doing the stuff we know we shouldn't, the contract is still good.
God loves us so much, and that will never change.
So how about we stop beating ourselves up and making this contract all about us and focus instead on the incredible offer God presents us with.
What a gift.
To be loved unconditionally. To know that there is nothing you can do that will ever seperate you from that love.
Who wouldn't want to sign that contract?
No strings attached. No terms and conditions. No sneaky clauses.
Just honest, unconditional contact of love.
Act now
Don't wait.
Sign on the dotted line.
It's the best deal you are ever gonna get.
I'm using my good pen to sign this one. I might even frame it so I don't forget how blessed I am to have received such an amazing offer.
Now, where did I put those readers? Oh yeah, they are on my face.
Psalm 136:1
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.
Lamentations 3: 22-23
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.
Romans 8: 38-39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
