Love, the Gift of Tomorrow?

Colorado Springs, Colorado

Procrastinators like me love tomorrow because tomorrow never comes. I know that this will be a shock for many of you, but I'm pretty good with my words. So I love to promise that I will do something...tomorrow.

The people of Israel might have felt the same way about God, the Great Procrastinator. Would he keep his promise? Would he send Israel's Redeemer? Would a Branch from the stump of Jesse arrive?

"So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him."  1 John 4:16 English Standard Version

Past, present and future, God is love. There is never a time when God's love does not come. God is love as we wait for his faithfulness to be revealed. God is love even when we put off loving others. It is not simply in the nature of God to be loving, he is the definition of love. He is love.

So, if we are the children of God through Christ, then why do we put off love. I understand that we are not the definition of love. God is. If we are little Christ's shouldn't our marquee read, "now playing", instead of "coming soon"?

Love can't wait until tomorrow.
