Above All Power

And I've made the most important discovery of my life. It's only in the mysterious ways and equation of love that any logical reason can be framed. If we read colossian 1:9-18" Elohim demonstrate his power and love toward us all. His preeminence. All the demonstration of the glory of God shown in the manifestation of His omnipotence pointed to man----"to usward." see read; many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward...Psalm 40:5

Did you notice this phase in Ephesian 1:9 the exceeding greatness of His power to usward  who believe. He has also provide deliverance from the power of darkness and the forgiveness of our sin. No wonder Apostle Paul said that such love "passes knowledge" "it takes us beyond logic into very the very heart of who God is. Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for Him. Mark10:21

A story of a young ruler. He came to Jesus asking how to inherit eternal life. Knowing that his love is of money was the god of his life. Jesus told him to sell everything he had and give the money to the poor. The Bibles says the man went away grieving, unwilling to part with his fortune. Mark makes a telling observation about the situation. He wrote,  "Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him.", Jesus knew what the young man's reaction would be He watched the man walk away and reject Him. Yet He felt love for him. This statement shows the heart of God Elohim as much as anything could. Even knowing that the man loved his money more than anything, Jesus still felt a love for him. 

Religious judgmentalism would have us believe that God feels offended and maybe even angry when people love something else more than they love Him

 Jesus showed us differently. Our God looks on hurting humanity and pities tbose who are blind. Sins won't sicken Him. They sadden Him. When people reject Him. He doesn't leave them. He loves them. Look carefully at the attitude and actions of Jesus in this story. "Then see others through His eyes. Show no condemnation toward others, but only compassion.
