His Genuine Love for Us


God totally loves us.  

Israel and Judah continually rebelled against the Lord yet God said,
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
    says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
    they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
    they shall be like wool.
(Isaiah 1:18)

When I read this verse, I really appreciated God's love for us, for you and I. Despite the constant sinning of His people, he beckoned them to come. 
"Come...let us reason together."

What He needs from us is repentance and obedience.
  
Wash and make yourselves clean.
    Take your evil deeds out of my sight;
    stop doing wrong. (Isaiah 1:16)

His heart for you, His genuine love for you, is indescribable. 

No matter how far you've gone, though you may not have it altogether, God says, "Come now, and let us reason together."
