9. We Use Him: We expect Him to come to our aid when we’re really desperate, but ignore him all other times.
10. We Take From Him: We just take and take, but without a word of praise or thanks.
Beginning to see a problem? So did the Apostle Paul, which is why he described us as “foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another” (Titus 3:3).
But in the very next verse, Paul also announced the solution, a solution that’s provided by the very same God that we hate.
“But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit” (Titus 3:4-5).
Yes, there’s a Lover for haters! More than that, this Lover turns haters into lovers!!
