Tuesday, October 30, 2007 – Our love list

Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. This morning, I was reading a book and it prompted the reader to think of someone who loved them, and on a piece of paper, write the things that the person does to show that they love you. This person could be a parent, a sibling, a friend … My list contained such things as they call me, they want me to look good, they give up the life that they could have so that I could eat e.t.c. Jesus says in John 14v15:

“If ye love Me, keep My commandments.” (KJV)
“If you [really] love Me, you will (obey) My commands.” (Amplified Bible)
“If you love Me, obey My commandments.” (New Living Translation)

If Jesus were to write a list of things that you do to show that you love Him, what would His list look like? If you were to write one for Jesus, about how He shows that He loves you, what would your list like? Hmm…

Have a blessed day.

Verses for thought:
“I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.

I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?” Songs of Solomon 5v3&4

Our dearest Heavenly Father,
We thank You so much for today. A day which You have made, which we can rejoice and be glad in. We thank You for Your presence daily with us and for Your lovingkindness. We thank You for loving us first, we thank You Jesus for dying on the cross of calvary for us, we thank You Holy Spirit of God for Your daily care of us. Father, we pray that You let our love – for You and for others – abound more and more in knowledge and in all judgment, that we may approve that which is excellent, that we may be sincere and without offence, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Christ Jesus to the glory and praise of God in Jesus name. Lord God, let us love You so much that it will be evident to You and to all those around us, in Jesus name, amen. Lord of the Harvest, we do pray, that You send forth labourers into Your harvest, for the harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers are few. Thank You Father, thank You Son, thank You Holy Spirit of God, in Jesus mighty name we pray, amen.
