Change – Romans 2:4
|
Did you think that because he’s such a nice God, he’d let you off the hook? Better think this one through from the beginning. God is kind, but he’s not soft. In kindness he takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life-change.
Romans 2:4 (The Message)
Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
Romans 2:4 (New King James Version)
Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?
Romans 2:4 (New Living Translation)
Sometimes I forget that God is in charge of all life. I try to do things my way most of the time & it never, ever turns out the way I was hoping that it would. But, when I do listen to God & let Him take my hand & lead me, I see what it is that I should have been doing all along, & that’s to let Him have control over everything in my life & to lead me where He would have me to go. I Love the Lord God with all my heart & I am so very thankful that Jesus gave His life so that we all may have eternal life with Him & our Heavenly Father in the Kingdom of Paradise that has been created by His hands for all of us who choose to let God lead us by the hand.
