"A
new commandment I
give unto you, That
ye love one
another as I
have loved you, that
ye also love one
another."
........John 13: 34.

Remember the old
song called, "What
the world needs now
is love, sweet
love?"
We
really do need to
see more love in
this world. It all
begins with
receiving
the
gift of love, given
us by our Lord. We
cannot really love
others, as
we
should, unless we
have let Jesus fill
our heart with His
great love.
This
world has been given
the greatest gift of
all, yet many do
not recognize or
receive it.
God loved us so
much, He sent His
only begotten Son
into this
world to
die for our sins and
bring us to Him.
There is no greater
love than
the love of
our Savior, who
was a willing
sacrifice, that we
might have eternal
life. He
grew the
tree which He
knew would be the
old rugged cross of
Calvary. Although
man was
sinful and disobeyed
our Father's
commands, God cared
enough to send
His very
best that we might
have eternal life.
Loving
others with the love
of the Lord will
keep us blessed and
happy as we
grow in the
knowledge of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
True Christian
growth begins
with a love
for the Lord and
others as He has
commanded. When we
build upon
a foundation
of love, the fruit
of the Spirit will
be manifest in our
lives and
we will
have true
Christian growth and
maturity.
Our
Lord not only loves
us, He is the very
embodiment of the
essence of love.
If we
truly know the love
of God, we will have
a reverent fear for
our Lord as we honor
Him and
obey His words.
God's Word tells us
the greatest command
is to love
God with all
our heart, soul, and
mind and we are to
love our neighbor as
ourselves.
We are to
love others as the
Lord has loved us.
Even when this
is hard to do, we
will
find with
the "agape type
love" in our
lives we can love
others as Christ
first loved us.
Love is an
attribute of the
Savior and will be
made manifest in our
lives when we
abide
in the True Vine,
Christ Jesus.
True
love for one
another acts out of
a heart with the
attributes of the
Savior.
Love is an
action word and will
go the extra mile
for others and stand
beside them
at all times. Love
is kind and thinks
the best of others
while
seeking the
best for them. Love
does not keep score
of wrongs done, but
will
return good
for evil. Love will
never fail. When we
keep God's commands,
we are
to keep them
out of love, not
fear or only
because we know it
is the right thing
to do.
Loving our
neighbor as
ourselves is
commanded by our
Lord. We know
we
have
passed from
death unto life
when we really
love our
brothers and
sisters
as Christ
loved. This is
an unconditional
love. Even if
one fails us
or disappoints
us, we must keep
on loving them
and praying for
others as
we would want
others to do for
us. We cannot
change a life or
heart
as it is
only by a work
of Holy Spirit
one is changed
to be like
Jesus.
May we seek the
Lord daily and
know His love
which has
been so
freely
given. A sure
sign that we
love Him is
obedience to his
Word
and our love for
each other. God
looks at the
heart as it
is his
habitation.
When we show
forth the love
of God to
others,
we know we are
growing in the
knowledge of our
Lord and are
true disciples
of Christ.
Give
thanks today for
the greatest
love of all as
you continue to
grow
in grace,
knowledge of our
Lord Jesus, and
the love of God.
"....And walk in
love, as Christ
also has loved
us and given
Himself
for us as an
offering and a
sacrifice to God
as a sweet
smiling
savior.."
{Eph. 5:
2} It's a
wonderful world
when we walk in
the love of
God with Christ
Jesus our
Savior.
Blessings in
Christ,

~LET NOT
YOUR HEART
BE TROUBLED~
"Let not
your heart
be troubled
Neither let
it be
afraid,"
Our Lord
says,
"I will
always be
with you
From the
cradle to
the grave."
He will
never ever
leave you
Nor forsake
you in times
of woe,
His spirit
will comfort
and guide
you,
To lead you
safely in
this life
below.
Though
doubts or
fear may at
times
oppress you
And troubles
may try to
get you
down,
Just look up
to the
Loving
Savior,
He
can always
be found.
So never let
your heart
be troubled,
Nor let fear
reside
within,
The one who
loves and
saved your
soul,
Will always
be beside
you.... He
is your
dearest
friend.
Blessings In
Christ,

QUOTES AND
ONE-LINERS
We must
adjust to
changing
times and
still hold
to
unchanging
principles.
The seen is
the
changing,
the unseen
is the
unchanging.
One of the
disconcerting
facts about
the
spiritual
life is that
God takes
you at your
word.
Courage is
never to let
your actions
be
influenced
by your
fears.
There are
enough
targets to
aim at
without
firing at
each other.
Despair is
the sin
which cannot
find--because
it will not
look for
it--forgiveness.
Faith
furnishes
prayer with
wings,
without
which it
cannot soar
to Heaven.
