LOVE LIFTS UP


To All those who call themselves by Jesus’ name:

Thought I would share an old favorite song from time to time that reminds me of the answers to most all of life’s difficulties. LOVE LIFTED ME…When nothing else could help, LOVE LIFTED ME.

God is the God who speaks. He has spoken. When we wrong our fellow man, we wrong the Lord. When we speak ill of another we allow our mouths to be used to speak a curse and not blessing. When we continue on in our ‘own ways,’ we disregard the Lord’s commands to LOVE ONE ANOTHER even as Christ has loved us.

How can we obey God’s word if we do not know what He says? Meditate on the Word day and night. There is a blessing waiting to meet you.  Hide God’s word in your heart so that you are ready to endure, one day at a time.

In all that you do, do it with all your heart (might) as unto the Lord. Consider others greater than yourself.

Do not let your love grow cold. Walls are erected, relationships are distant and severed because some of you spend too much time thinking about ‘’your ministry,” “your calling,” “your own well-being,” and not enough time thinking how you could lighten someone else’s load or relieve them of unnecessary burdens. Do unto others as you would have done to you. Consider the poor.

Love forgives. Love sets free. Love allows others to be who and how God has created them to be. Love does not speak ill of any man.  Endeavor to owe no man anything, but a debt of love.  Repay what you have borrowed.  Do not take advantage of anyone.  If you break something, fix it.  If you make a mess, clean it up.  Set an example. Be a servant. Go the extra mile. Withhold no good thing when it is in your power to give it.  Love your neighbor.

TIME DEVOTED

When all the noise and chaos stops, then what do you got? When you cease to live for the approval of others and are no longer in competition with the best of them... suddenly you've got more time on your hands. It seems it is always a good time to reflect, review, and acknowledge what could be stealing precious time and resources and keeping us from being devoted to who and what really matters.                                                    The WORD of GOD and PRAYER. “The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. (Isaiah 41:17) IF WE WOULD DARE TO ADMIT IT, we are the poor and needy. We all need prayer and immediate assistance and direction and help even just to call on the name of Jesus, or pick up His Word daily. Pray for me to spend time as I should, not neglecting the little things.

DEAR CHILDREN OF GOD

As seasons change, anxieties creep in; doubts attempt to steal your peace, and cause you to second guess your decisions…slam the door on despair! Bride of Christ be aware and alert, ever watchful, remaining & abiding in Him. Open your ears, hear what the Spirit is saying to you. Do not entertain thoughts of accusations towards one another. Speak evil of no man. Realize who you are and the words of reconciliation that you have been entrusted with. (II Corinthians 5:17) Be reconciled one to another. Be reconciled to God. Reconcile all men unto God. Endeavor to keep the bond of peace. Forgive one another as God has forgiven you. Remember that He does not treat you as your sins deserve. That grace is not a excuse to keep on sinning, but merciful compassion that makes way for true repentance. So let’s get to it without delay! “GIVE NO OFFENSE IN ANYTHING THAT THE MINISTRY BE NOT BLAMED.” (II Corinthians 6:3) “Love keeps no record of wrongs.” (I Corinthians 13) “The anger of man
