Where God's love is not recognized, there is loneliness and pain. Where God's love is not treasured, there is darkness. Without God, there is aloneness. Without God, there is just you and no one else in your life. If we do not receive and treasure the love of God, there is in each of us an innate recognition that tells us that life is hopeless.
Many people have a sense of hopelessness about themselves and their life.
Most of these people who confront their hopelessness in life run away from the hopelessness, drink it away, drug it away, play it away, watch TV it away, or try to escape it by whatever means possible. One of our real plights in life is how we deal with the end. What happens to you at the moment of death is a result of the choice your make and what you treasure in your heart. We are to receive His gift and to treasure that God's only Son died for us. We are to receive His gift and we are to treasure that God was willing to let His Son die for us because God loves us.
