Topic: Positive Power

The love of God is a positive power. The darkness and sin of the world, the darkness and sin in you now, is a negative power. The negative power of darkness and sin will drag you down, make you sick, and eventually take your life. However, Jesus came to take you home to be with Him when you die. After your death, the pain and suffering from all your worldly wants and needs will be gone. After you die, all your pain and suffering of this life and everything you went through on earth won't make any difference. In our suffering and in our sin, we cry out for relief. We cry out for relief from the pain and suffering in our life by using drugs, drinking alcohol, and immersion in sinful acts of all kinds. In a world where we want everything in an instant, the bad news is that Jesus does not have a drive up window in the sky. He does not have a warehouse in the sky full of anything you want. Jesus is not running a retail store. Jesus is not running a matchmaking service. Jesus does not run a pharmacy to dispense pills to take away your pain. Jesus does not run a free money store where you can go get free money to take care of your finances. Jesus is running a love dispensary. Love is the only thing Jesus provides. Even when you want and need all your worldly wants and needs met, Jesus is not going to meet them. Get used to it. Grow up. Get over it. What Jesus has for you this minute is love. His love is sufficient. His love will not make every problem go away. When you come face to face with this reality…the reality His love will fill your life but many of your problems will remain, you may cry because you want and need things of this world you will never have. However, in the end, at the very end, when you live with your wants and needs unmet with an open heart always seeking His love, what you will have in the end is Heaven for all eternity and what you went through here in this life will be totally erased.
