Love in Prison
February 24, 2011
Genesis 39:20–21 And Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined, and he was there in prison. But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
I always smile when I see situations where the Bible says that God was showing someone “steadfast love”...and yet I would NOT be “soaking in the love of God” if I found myself in a similar situation.
JOSEPH WAS IN PRISON!!!
And God showed him steadfast love.
How often do I blatantly ignore the love that God is showing me in any given second simply because His loving actions dont fit the definition of the love that I would like to be experiencing at that time?
The simple truth is that God is in a constant state of showing me love and kindness….I’m ALWAYS the beneficiary of HIS LOVE AND GRACE….
And yet the times where I acknowledge it are few and far between…I so often find myself questioning why God would let things happen to me…or to others…
And yet really what I need is to be able to understand the many forms that God’s love takes…and to trust in His love towards me.
Jesus let it be…
