Ernest Hemingway is one of my
favorite authors and in one of his stories he tells of a father who had a
rebellious son named Paco. Ultimately,
Paco became a modern-day prodigal son and ran away from home. Overwhelmed with grief and concern, the
father finally, in one last desperate attempt to find his son, put an ad in the
local newspaper. It read:
“Dear Paco, meet me in front of
the newspaper office at noon. All is
forgiven. I love you.” The next day 800 Pacos showed up. They all were responding to the fact their
father loved them and forgave them.
And God says, Dear John,
Jane, James, Nancy
meet me in the front of your soul any time during your life. All is forgiven. I love you.”
I like
the way God’s love is described in 1 John 3:1 “How great is the love the Father
has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!”
It’s all there, everyday in every
way…the love of God. It’s there in the
excited cry of a child at close of day.
It’s there in the kneeling response of a man or woman in prayer. It’s there every time we reach up and God
reaches down. What is it the marines are
always saying, “We’re looking for a few good men.” Well, God is certainly looking for good men
and women but also realizing that even good men and women can sometimes be
ungodly and not so good, not always worthy of forgiveness but forgiving them
anyway. And do you want to know
something? “There is nothing you can do
to make God love you more. There is
nothing you can do to make Him love you less.” (Anonymous)
Yes, His unbending love is
beyond our complete comprehension but not beyond our complete acceptance. Wise and well-choosing folk do it all the
time. It is called faith. It’s called how could anyone in their right
mind turn down an offer with an eternal guarantee.
Pure
and simple, to allow yourself to buy into the love of God for all that it
offers is a lesson in humility and passing this lesson in humility can keep you
from a lesson in futility. It is no
small thing where you are sending your love and where you are receiving love
back from. Because you see, you cannot
accept the love of God and ignore what is good and right and precious. You cannot accept the love of God and not
work hard at giving the same to others.
You cannot accept the love of God without examining the goals you have set for life and whether
they are worthy.
