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?
ARE YOU SEEKING?
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.
Thought I would “defer” today’s DISPATCH to something I shared last night at FREEDOM in a chat entitled “OUTRAGEOUS LOVE”.
Two verses, yet one very powerful message when it comes to the OUTRAGEOUS LOVE of our Father…
The first…
Romans 5:8
New King James Version (NKJV)
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
That one should put a lump in your throat.
And the other…that one that “sums up” love more powerfully than any other.
We will even go “old school KJV” for this one.
John 3:16
King James Version (KJV)
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Yes familiar verses but OH THE LOVE!
I love the way Max Lucado describes this “love 3:16 passage” in his book 3:16, THE NUMBERS OF HOPE.
A twenty-six-word parade of hope: beginning with God, ending
with life, and urging us to do the same. Brief enough to write
on a napkin or memorize in a moment, yet solid enough to
weather two thousand years of storms and questions. If you
know nothing of the Bible, start here. If you know everything in
the Bible, return here.
We all need the reminder. The heart of the
human problem is the heart of the human. And God’s treatment
is prescribed in John 3:16.
He loves.
He gave.
We believe.
We live.
Valentines days come and go, but this LOVE, this HOPE, this SACRIFICE endures forever!
1 Chronicles 16:34
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Give HIM thanks today for HIS ENDURING LOVE FOR US!
I love you all!
Have a blessed Valentine’s Day!
