LIVE LOVE

Too many people are wasting too much time..

A wise son heareth his father's instruction (Proverbs 13). Lord please help us to hear and list and do your word. 

THOSE WHO SEEK THE LORD SHALL NOT LACK ANY GOOD THING.   Psalm: 34.10 Could it be said that those who do not seek the Lord shall lack any good thing? It is quite interesting when we start pondering the possibilities. I am encouraged to obey. Motivated to start seeking the Lord diligently once again. Stop allowing circumstances to dictate to me what I can and cannot do. I yield to you Father. Thank you for perfecting that which you have begun in me and in my friends.

2  Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5  And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6  And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7  And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8  For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9  But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath for...

There are times that I have so much going on that it really helps my mind to come back to the simple truth...the prevailing peace of God...by listening to the Word of God anyway that I can. Lately, I have been listening to www.intouch.org and it has been challenging me to remember and reflect and put into action what I know to be the truth. We must remind ourselves who we belong too. We are protected by the everlasting God who has covenanted with us (Isaiah 61-62), who claims us for his own. Do the first thing God told you to do. Obey Him all the way. Don't think so. Know so. What is God telling you to do? In what ways has He called you to trust Him? You would be amazed at the peace you have when you make Trusting the Lord your priority.

What are you waiting for? INITIATE conversation, encouragement, giving, asking questions that will help someone know that they matter and you really care.

The grace- given— give grace!  Is grace happening to you?  Is there anyone in your life you refuse to forgive?  If so, do you appreciate God’s forgiveness toward you?  Do you resent God’s kindness to others?  Do you grumble at God’s uneven compensation?  How long has it been since your generosity stunned someone? Since someone objected, “No, really, this is too generous?”  If it’s been awhile reconsider God’s extravagant grace.  Psalm 103:2-3 says, “Forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity.” Let grace unscrooge your heart.  Like Peter encourages us in 2 Peter 3:18, “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” When grace happens, generosity happens.  Unsquashable, eye-popping, big-heartedness happens!  You simply can’t contain it all.  Let it bubble over.  Let it spill out.  Let it pour forth.  ________      ...
