Inexpressible Love!
1John 4:19-21
We love because He first loved us. If anyone says"I love God", yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And He has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
This really spoke to me this morning. Sometimes I have a hate or dilike for someone....this says it how it is! Wow...so simple, and so true. Lord help me to work on loving those around me. This weekend was a great service....the youth pastors spoke, but one part inparticular spoke to me. Stephen Hibdon had his son come up as an example. Knowing his son would be embarrased and would sink his head into his father chest...Stephen said "This is the purity God is talking about....the purity of a child. Yes they often make some bad decisions and choices....but look...this is purity ...as the child buries thier face in the parent, and just wants to be loved...they never meant any harm....because they are pure...pure children.
Can I do this?...am I pure?....Lord you know my heart...I am true to you....Please see my pure heart as I stand humble in front of you. Lord please also help me to love, even those who are hard to love.....GIVE ME THAT INEXPRESSIBLE LOVE, like none other!!!! Because I want you Lord to know that I love YOU!!!

A New Heart

I now know what it's like to be told your heart is no good and you need a new one. This happened to me this week. I truely felt that my heart was beating well, I felt good, I was alive....but I was told otherwise that it wasn't good. That had to be one of the biggest blows
to me. I felt stripped and shredded of all and who I am. I sought the Lord with questions as to why! WHY! W H Y ! What did I do to deserve this. I thought my heart was good. I truely did things out of love, and wanting to serve.
I guess any cancer patient would ask the same of thier body. In my case it was a spiritual heart, and I was told how to fix it and given time for recovery. Thinking about it...cancer patients don't always get that. Im worn out right now...emotionally I am a nervous wreck. I cry so easily. I even wonder if I need medical help. Again my thoughts go back to a cancer patient...if it's a severe case they dont get much of a chance....even if they do get a fight, the emotions of the intial diagnosis has to have them worn and stripped down, as I felt!
Lord, I come to you empty....but given another chance! Lord, I feel the presence of evil hovering over and wanting to snatch me. Please protect me....please confirm in me the many blessings you want for me and my family. I've reached a bottom....but I know you have thrown that rope down and have desended down into my hole with me and will drag and pull me out....because I am too weal to do so myself! My heart is small now and new...help me to fill it up with your love and your words of life....this is my desire!
