Love is as strong as death, and vomit is disgusting!

Love is as strong as death and jealousy as unyeilding as the grave. Think about that for a minute. Love is as strong as death. What happened that fateful day, on some hill, in some country, with a Roman execution pole?? Hmm. Love was displayed as strong as death. Get a hold of that thought. Love put the nails in His own hands,  because love is as strong as death. If only we understood and got that in our hearts. Oh how our lives would change. We wouldn't be so content with the mundane and mediocre. We would be living in signs, wonders and miracles. We wouldn't be content with sitting on our butts in church twiddling our thumbs thinking about what we will be doing once we got out of the place.
Love is as strong as death. That speaks of devotion, loyalty, desire. God desired us so much that he demonstrated that His love is as strong as death, even death on a cross. And what are we doing to show our gratitude? Where is our thanks giving? What do our lives look like? Are we tolerating crap in order to fit it? Fit in to what? Society? Would we really choose society over love that is as strong as death? And then comes the jealousy that is unyeilding as the grave. Are we hot or are we cold? Are we lukewarm? How close are we to feeling what its like to be vomit? Consider this: you are neither hot nor cold, and I am about to vomit you up... Sounds kinda gross. But what if our being lukewarm, mediocre, mundane is torture to love that is as strong as death, therefore, the jealousy that is unyeilding has no choice but to get rid of that which is torturous? How's the toleration of crap now? Are we really sure we want to go down that path? Should we tolerate that which is abhorrent to God? Should we tolerate that which God calls detestable? Do we want to experience being someone elses vomit? God is a jealous God, and His jealousy is as unyeilding as the grave. I'm pretty sure that, that means that God has His limits with how long He will put up with mediocre-lukewarmness! Jesus is the only name under heaven by which we must be saved, anyone who tries to get into the sheepfold by any other way is nothing more than a theif. If we are not on Gods side, then we are an enemy... Can we really justify sin, and tolerate crap? Being a white-washed-tomb is the same as being mediocre and lukewarm. I'd rather be either boiling hot or frozen stiff, at least then I wont become vomit! How about you?

May Gods blessings shower down upon you. And may you be coated in the dust of your Rabbi!
