What more does he need to do?

I hate hearing bad news.  I hate bad news about christians.  I hate bad news about myself.  Far too often I hear about another brother or sister who has failed miserably and more often than that, I look in the mirror and see how terribly I fail time and again.  No matter who the culprit is, I have to ask myself, "What more does he need to do to make you (me) love him?"  

Why do we believe urban legends, myths and folklore and yet live like the blood-bought gospel is a fairy tale?  My soul cries out because of our unbelief.  We know all the answers and say all the right things except NO!  We give in to sin and temptation so easily when we have every reason and opportunity to resist.  God, you are greater than temptation and your love covers over a multitude of sins.  May the sacrifice of the cross become enough to sway my heart to love.  Come Lord Jesus.
