day 26:  Mark 12:28-31: John 14:15-16; 15:10-13: 1 John 4:21; 5:3    And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?  And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.  And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.  There is none other commandment greater than these.  If ye love me, keep my commandments.  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.  This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.  Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

I repeat his commandments are not grievous. The greatest love letter I have ever been blessed to see, from the author and finisher of my faith.

Let true love win please, God did for us for Jesus's sake concerning us all, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, not to condemn the world but that the world through him may be saved. 

Let love win where ever you are.


A treasure worth finding......


Amen.

day 25: Proverbs 3:6; 4:14,17 ( Psalm 37:14-15) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. FRET NOT thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.


God did not leave us to wander off and do whatever we want: God was very precise in all that pertains to him in all he did ( Psalm 145:17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works). If we believe in him, lets learn of him by doing exactly what he commands.

Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?  Proverbs 5:1-2 MY SON, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

How much do you really believe that there is a God ? Look in the mirror and ask yourself, do my life speak of faith in him or self ?  The creator or the created, who do I really trust, for we all must answer for everything we do.  Lets be ready for that glorious day by acknowledging him that knew us before we were formed.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.( Proverbs 3:1-2)

Why turn your back from such an honour ?


A treasure worth finding....

Amen.
