COMPLETE LOVE

Have you thanked Him?
Have you praised Him?
Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?
Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?
1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)
1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

"For the one who is hurting and the one who has done wrong
For the one who needs healing and feels like hope is gone
For the weary who can't carry his cross anymore
You're the one, the one Jesus died for… (adapted from the Isaac’s)

Let that wash over you this morning for a second.

You were and ARE maybe hurting, yet He has already HURT for you.
You need healing? We do almost every day in some way or another. Yet HE through dying has OFFERED ALL the healing we will ever need.

Hopeless? His cross is the symbol of PURE & ENDLESS hope.

Tired? He says...
...come to Me. I will refresh your life as you rest with Me. 
Accept only the task that I give you as my true disciple-- simply JOIN your life with Mine, and let Me be your Teacher. Matthew 11:28-29 The Passion Translation

Isn’t that translation beautiful?
Join YOUR life with His ETERNAL one. 
Listen, learn, rest and let Him lift. I LOVE that!

Sometimes it is important to REMEMBER what Jesus did for us. We are approaching Easter when our thoughts do get fixed on the cross, the tomb and His “risen-ness” But today I just want us to reflect on just how He chose us and loves us in spite of us.
God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him. – Romans 5:8 (MSG)

He lived, died, and rose again with but one purpose in mind: to make brand-new creation. Not to make people with better morals but to create a community of prophets and professional lovers, men and women who would surrender to the mystery of the fire of the Spirit that burns within, who would live in ever greater fidelity to the omnipresent Word of God, who would enter into the center of it all, the very heart and mystery of Christ, into the center of the flame that consumes, purifies, and sets everything aglow with peace, joy, boldness, and extravagant, furious love. - Manning

So today…
Embrace the PASSION and LOVE of JESUS' towards and for you.
It is BOLD!
It is EXTRAVAGANT!
It is FURIOUS!

Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God’s love encompasses us completely. … He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken.” - Uchtdorf

So today my friends…
take in … the extravagant dimensions of Christ’s love.
Reach out and experience the breadth!
Test its length!
Plumb the depths!
Rise to the heights! - Ephesians 3:19 (MSG)

I love you all.
Have a blessed day!
