Jeremiah 9 24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
GOD is the God that is full of loving kindness and passion for the world. He created all beings to experience His love. He gives us blessings year after year and forget not to water the land and enrich the soil. He makes creatures to be fruitful. He is always ready to give.
People want to think God in this one sided way. Yes, He is forever loving. However, as He declared here, He is also delighted in judgment and righteousness because these things are indeed pure.
As creatures, if we only demand love from God and do not fullfill His standard of judgment and righteousness, we abuse His love for us. Our love for Him then becomes exploitative. Will such kind of love deserve another spot in heaven? Definitely not.
As He said, seek first kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you. Matthew 6:33
If we yearn for miracles and blessing, be sure to serve Him and obey His way in all seriousness.
