When I was a child my Mom sang this song:
Heaven Happy home above
Heaven sweet peace and love
Oh it makes me feel like traveling on
Heaven supernal, Heaven eternal
Oh I know I’m going home
I met a man last week that actually went home! Yeah you heard me! He went home but he came back. He looked upon the face of Jesus and saw love-Jesus sent him back to earth to continue to do what we all are here to do. Spread the word-Jesus is real-He’s coming back and He wants you to live with Him forever! And all you have to do is ask. It’s not hard people! Us to tell it-others to receive it! We as Christians are to love one another, again not a hard job. Yet we make it difficult by getting in the way. Our pride, our ego, we sometimes let it come before Christ and his command to love one another. Church should be the happiest place on earth for us to go because for the most part we are all Christians. We read the instruction manual called the Bible. We know how we are supposed to act. Yet sometimes we treat others the worse. We are all human, we are all broken, and we all need Jesus! We all need love! When I think of the love Jesus showed on the cross- it just humbles me. Even in his suffering with his arms stretched out, He thought of me! And you and you and you! In
John 4:19:
We love because He first loved us
Think about the price He paid to do that. He wasn’t picky or choosy when He was on the cross. He didn’t say for some I will die but for all!
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only son…
It doesn’t say for God so loved WV, the USA, me but not you. He loved us all! So who are we to pick and choose who we are going to love? My heart is heavy burdened for the human race in general but Christians and their back of love for each other really just saddens my soul. When you accept Christ as your savior that’s your ticket in! You are going to Heaven. So you can sit on your couch, hide away in your home, stick your head out like a turtle and that won’t change. But because God loved us so much He wants us to have a full life. And to do that His Holy Spirit is in me and you just nudging us to love someone! Anyone! Everyone! And sometimes it may be someone we don’t even want to love! But when we learn to love from the Master, the love we receive from Him and the love we give others begins to transform; it becomes Him!
1 Corinthians 13: 4-7
Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others. It is not self seeking; it is not easily angered; it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, trusts, hopes and perseveres!
So I have a challenge for you! When God puts someone on your heart to share His love with, do it! Listen to that still small voice!
