Why doesn’t God just change me already, I mean He loves me, right? Why hasn’t God healed me yet, He wants what’s best for me, correct?
Yes, He does love you and will always do what is best for you. Yet, keep this truth in mind: There must be choice in order to have love. We feel loved when someone chooses to love us and then know we are loved as they express that love through their actions. God chose to love us and then proved it through His actions by sending Jesus to die for us (Jn. 3:16).
Now, why doesn’t God instantaneously change our lives or heal us the moment we ask for it? He is giving us the opportunity to show that we love Him. Jesus said we express our love for Him through our obedience (Jn. 14:23), not just our words. At salvation we were given the ability to make this choice when we were given the mind and nature of Christ. We can think correctly and choose correctly for the first time in our lives. The question is, will we?
We shout, “I love you Jesus,” as we choose to listen and follow Him with each choice, throughout our day, with or without physical or emotional pain. It’s through our choices, not just our words, that we express our love to Jesus. If God took those daily choices away, He would rob us of the opportunities to love Him.
This may sound hard, but we all know it’s true. We all want to be loved, which means people choosing to be around us. Who do you think put this in us? The one who wants us to choose to love Him. This is what love has to do with it.
