We are in the 2nd week of the Bachelor series. Be sure to check out week 1.
The modern idea of love is about attracting the best and eliminating the rest. Every reality show also embraces this concept. Perhaps no show embraces it more than the Bachelor. The 1 available bachelor has a limited number of roses each round until he has eliminated everyone but one. He then asks her to marry him.
God does not operate like this. And we should all be glad about that!
God has a rose for everyone!
God's love embraces where others eliminate.
Even if you give off a bad first impression, He offers a patient long-suffering love.
If God has a rose for everyone, then that means the people around us are loved by God. The people around us are not the competition and we should not compare ourselves to others. Instead of looking for flaws in others we should be aware of the flaws in ourselves and be moved to love, becuase Christ Jesus loves us inspite of our sine. This becomes evident in the story of the prostitute who poured out the oil on the feet of Jesus when many thought she did not belong in the room with the master.
