Isaiah 47:10 You felt secure in your wickedness; you said, “No one sees me”; your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray, and you said in your heart, “I am, and there is no one besides me.”

None are so alone as those who do not know love..

Genesis 2:18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”

Many of us understand what God intended here. Sadly some never get it.

Helper is a term that indicates there are some things you should not or cannot do alone. That covers a wide array of ideas but the basic principles are sharing and communication.

Take the greatest characteristic of God as the first principle, love. Love screams out to be shared. Love’s very nature needs an object of affection. One cannot love alone. That is unnatural, unseemly, and a waste of energy.

Secondly the word fit takes on different meanings. One use of the word can be applied here. If you want shoes you get fitted. You may like the looks of a shoe but you have to try them on to discover if they hurt or not. Comfort, proper fit is important.

God made Eve for Adam. His intentions for Adam are the same for all men, to choose a proper woman that fits and will not hurt you. She can share the love you have, giving and receiving. Anyone other than God’s choice will cause pain.

Does anyone these days ask God, “Show me your choice for me?”

I did and God did. I have never loved or been loved as I am now.

This is possible only because God set love in motion in this realm we call time.

We all seek it because we all need it and it is a powerful force in life itself.

If we don’t know God’s love, we will end up pleasing ourselves and that is not love.

Of the nine words for love in the Greek there is only one that is perfectly suited to fit.

Agape. 1 Corinthians 13 tells us how Agape acts.

2 Corinthians 6:2 For he says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

Hebrews 3:13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

James 4:14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.

Matthew 6:27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?

If you have not placed your faith in Christ, now is the time to repent and seek forgiveness for the sinful life you have led without His guidance. We cannot count on tomorrow, it is not promised.

You might not live to finish this sentence. For your sake I hope you can survive long enough to turn to God who is calling us all into His glorious hope.

Romans 8:18-23 English Standard Version

Future Glory

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

God loves His creation and it is His hope that we will return His love. If you have not known the love of God, now is the time to discover His love. 

1 John 4:8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

1 John 4:9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us.

If you don’t want to be loved, then I cannot help you.
