......You must love one another.....

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another - John 13:34-35

You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you -Matthew 5:43-44

Love is one of the most intense topics in and outside the church. Mostly will you hear the words 'I love you' or something in that line. Sometimes you wonder what the definition is at that moment in time.

Jesus' story can be summarized as 'a story of love'. He did not just teach love but he was Love in a human body. He demonstrated love. Love for those who love you and those who do not, including those 'who spitefully use you.' wow!! that's big.

After he demonstrated what love was, Jesus commanded his disciples to Love one another. Love is a Command! The church needs to be noticed by the love of one another. By 'the church I mean as a whole not a denomination or a congregation.

What if denominations stopped spending time finding the wrongs of each other? What if churches viewed each other like brothers in the same mission than like enemy? what if ministers just preached the gospel without trying to strengthen their points by finding faults in the next church's minister? What if all the denominations and churches viewed each other as fellow soldiers on the same mission, with a common enemy? What if the time spent saying bad about one another was spent in the prayer room praying for one another? What we looked at the next church to find things we could learn from them?

The world would be a different place. Maybe then would the world see that we are His disciples.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GRACE

The battle got wilder, the days are going faster.

Looking back to my day, I cant see anything to be proud of.

Looking forward to tomorrow, questions of uncertainty fill my heart.

Will I make it through? Will it be different from today?

Will I start becoming the man I have always striven to be?

or will tomorrow end with this same song?

The things I want to do, I do not do

The things I don't want to do, I do them anyways

I don't want to live Like a dog that goes back to his vomit

Am not crying in fear of punishment, my tears come in awe of your grace.

Lord make my tomorrow end with a happy song

Only you can give me strength and boldness to walk in your ways

The compliments am getting, are like sharp arrows onto the wounds of my failures.

just like past failures are forgiven, I cant live by the past glory.

open the doors of your righteousness that i may walk into them.

Let me see me the way you do, so I can see you the way you are, and your people the way you do.

Let my love for you grow like cider of Lebanon. You alone can restore my life.

I have tasted and have seen that you are good. Nothing else can satisfy the way you do.

Thank you for your blood, thank you for your grace

you have broken my emotional mirror. you have shown me who I am in you

I don't understand your love, but without your loving kindness I wouldn't have made it.

God I give it all to you. thank you for your love. thank you for your grace

thank you for your cross. thank you for your blood

well..well..well

I was in church today (June 13, 2010) there were alot of things that God was speaking to me about. For some reasons I decided to put them into writting so others may also benefit.
By sharing, am not claiming to know it all. Am just another dude who is just trying to seek the Lord, desiring to be more like Him.

Feel free to subscribe and also put your opinions. I would love to learn from you guys too.

Be blessed
