Isn't Love Grand?

LOVE is the reason for.....L i v i n g!
I write my morning prayers in a personal journal...in the past I would compile some of these prayers and print them in little books of inspiration for my family and friends...today I am going to include one of those prayers, about love, here.
"Lord, as You have taught me....Love is the reason for Living! Those who live in Love....live in God...and God lives in them. This is how Love is made perfect in us:....a person can not have Love...the real Love....Without God....because simple put as it says in 1John 4:8b.....God IS Love.... Love is not 'something you DO'....it is WHO YOU ARE!
Love comes from......LOVE.
like apples comes f rom an apple tree...oranges comes from an orange tree.....Love comes from the Love source.....YOU !
Doesn't get much 'plainer' or better than this does it dear Father? Now, also, Love gives.....'For God so loved....that he gave....(John 3:16)...Love is a giver + not a 'taker'....anyone who lives in Love wants to GIVE....this is a 'sure sign' of one who knows YOU (love) personally......But, Lord, I have learned....'you can not 'outgive' YOU our God!
God, You are the greatest of all....giver.
Make me more like You, I pray.
......Your word says all of the above simply and clearly............................. (1John 4:14)..."So you see, our love for HIM comes as a result of....HIS LOVING US FIRST....We can only return what you have first given us......for....GOD IS LOVE"....Don't you know? In Jesus Name, Amen

Thought for the Day...
Below is a short, simple e-mail from my sister-in-law, Liz.
'Tis the God's truth, don't you know!
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you,
Jesus Christ and the American G. I.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM.

Peace
Peace Be With You.....
This sounds like a normal greeting on Sunday morn
heard in churches all over America and.....elsewhere .....
Yet at times these words roll off of the tongue without the true
essence of their meaning ever being impacted upon the
mind and heart!
Of course, I'm speaking 'from experience' , don't you know!
I'm reminded of the 'olden days' when a friend or neighbor died,
in the South, don't you know,
and one of the questions asked of him or her was,
"Did she make her 'peace with God' before she died?"
This was a pertinent question somehow that I never understood as a child...
Why was that important?
Now I find myself saying at times about certain incidents,
"I just don't have peace about that!" or
'that upset me or made me very mad.....
but I prayed about it and now I have peace about it!'
PEACE is vital to.......good health!
Physical, mental, emotional and spiritual...
If I don't walk in constant, daily peace with myself and God,
I am out of sync with the essence of life for....me.
...In one modern version of the Bible it reads....
"Let the peace that Christ gives, control your thinking...."(Colossians 3:15)
The peace I need daily, I can't get by myself...I need 'outside help'...
Ask a Mother Theresa type person how they deal with all the
injustice in life aimed at the 'forgotten'....
Work in a domestic shelter for a few days and 'feel' how 'angry' you get!
Look in the face of a 'neglected child' and 'feel' your heart break....
We are inundated by the news with much of the above....how can
this not penetrate our hearts and cause us anxiety and stress?
Taking action is necessary and helps.....
but our minds and hearts rebel and must be....'laid to rest'.
It is in this that the simple prayer of..
"Lord, let the PEACE that Christ gives.....
set my mind and heart to rest today...
It is for this I pray..."
This, too, is my prayer for YOU.....Peace Be With You....
and I truly mean it, don' t you know?
