Son, my heart is broken. I mourn and I am overcome with grief. Do My people really think they can steal, lie, murder, commit adultery and then come before Me and say, “We are safe because we are saved!” These people do not do what I have told them, and they refuse to be taught. Truth has vanished from among them; it is no longer heard on their lips. Their lives are ruled by greed. Why do My people stay on this self-destructive path?
I have a plan for their lives, and I will be merciful only if they stop their evil thoughts and deeds and start treating each other with love. Before I made the world, I loved them and chose them in My Son to be holy and without fault in My eyes. For I am rich in kindness and grace, and I purchased their freedom with the blood of My Son and I forgave their sins.
This is My plan: At the right time I will bring everything together under the authority of My Son. Everyone will understand the incredible greatness of My power and anyone who believes in My Son will be saved. This salvation is not a reward for the good things My people have done. Furthermore, because My people are united with My Son, they have received an inheritance from Me, and I will make everything work out for their good according to My plan.
Lord, how can Your people live in this world without You and without Your hope. It is only when I do everything as You say, that it will be well with me! All of Your promises are backed by all the honor of Your Name!! Thank You!
