And when I passed by you and saw you struggling in your own blood, I said to you in your blood, Live! Yes, I said to you in your blood, Live! Ezekiel 16:6 Some of us need a radical change in our relationship with the Lord, because we base Gods love toward us absolutely on how we feel and on our record of failures or successes. We imagine that God either loves us or does not love us according to whether we have had a good day or a bad day. But Gods love is unmistakably unconditional. In Jeremiah 31:3 the Lord says to Israel, I have loved you with an everlasting love. And in Ezekiel 16:6 the Lord says to His people, Live! And He made them alive and caused them to thrive and mature, and He shepherded them. They were in their own blood-- this was their condition. They were wallowing in their misery, in their death. And He said, I saw you. He found them in their blood. Has He ever caught you in that condition? One day you were in your blood, wallowing in your misery and your failure. When you deserved a spanking, God said, I love you. I demonstrated it. Your sins are on My Son. He bore them once and for all. Now just come to Me. Come and be loved. This is relationship- changing love.
