The old saying is that you get more flies with honey than with vinegar. It is absolutely true that you draw more people to you by being someone that they would want to be around instead of someone that is all standoffish and abrasive. We all like to be around folks who seem to care about us, don't we?
GOD loves us so much: always has, continues to, and always will. His love for us is so deep and so personal and so fervent that He sent His only Son to die on the cross in order to make a way for us to come to Him. It amazes me that people can't see the love of GOD.
Today's word is Jeremiah 31:3, NIV, which reads, "The LORD appeared to us in the past saying: 'I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness."
GOD is such a loving GOD, such a caring GOD that He continues to try to draw people to Him with unfailing kindness. He gives us so much good stuff and keeps so much bad stuff from us. Does that mean that bad things never happen? Of course not. Bad things happen to believers all the time. But, even in the midst of those bad things, we can rest assured that GOD loves us and that He continues to be kind to us. It may be hard to see in the middle of those storms but if we will truly take the time to reflect upon our blessings we will see GOD'S everlasting love and unfailing kindness.
GOD tries to draw all men unto Himself with unfailing kindness. Yet, some refuse to accept His wonderful gift and everlasting love. Why I do not know. I guess some people just like vinegar; I prefer honey.
Be Blessed,
