| God's Desires to Save His Creation |

Genesis 18:32-33
32Then he said, "Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: Suppose ten should be found there?" And He said, "I will not destroy it for the sake of ten." 33So the LORD went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.
When you get a chance read Genesis 18:16-33. It is an amazing account of Gods love and desire to save his creation. His patience to keep answering Abraham is so encouraging.
I am absolutely amazed at how much the Lord loves me...in spite of me. Even when I disappoint Him he loves me. There is never a time when He is unrighteously angry with me and when He is righteously angry with me, He is never so angry at me that He doesn't listen to me. In fact, His nature is such that it would be impossible for Him to get that angry.
Are you rejoicing in how much the Lord loves you today? Are you turning to Him even when you know that you have disappointed Him? Are you walking in the forgiveness that lies waiting for your confession? Oh that we would be moved to obedience because of His great love for us.
Father, we marvel at how much you love us. We are so tempted to walk in disbelief when we know that we have failed you. May we trust how much you desire to be in fellowship with us. May we be quick to confess any sin that would hinder our relationship with you. May the Holy Spirit be active in revealing the unfailing love that is always accessible through Jesus Christ our Lord. In His name we pray...Amen.
Have a blessed week of receiving Jesus' love and loving Him in return. As we delight in Him...awesome things begin to take place in our hearts.
