Monday, November 05, 2007 – What do you do with what you have?

Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. How do you show that you love someone? Hmm… Jesus gives us a criteria for judging if we love Him or not. He says in John 14v21:

“He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him.”

What are Jesus’ commandments? Well, one of His commandments can be seen in John 15v12&13:

“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.”

Our dearest Heavenly Father,
We thank You so much for today, we thank You for Your grace, for Your goodness, for Your lovingkindness, for Your tendermercies. We thank You our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We thank You for interceding for us and we thank You for preparing a place for us in Your Father’s house, so that where You are, we also can be. We thank You Holy Spirit of God. We thank You for Your comfort, we thank You for Your counsel, love, might and strength. Thank You Most High God. Lord we love You and we know that we cannot say we love God if we hate our neighbours – it means we do not even know You, for You are love. Father Lord, please grant unto us a Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. Jesus, we want to know You, the power of Your resurrection, the fellowship of Your suffering and be made conformable to Your death; Holy Spirit, show us the heavenly way of doing things – that at the end of the day, we may do the commandments of Jesus and walk down the narrow path which leads to life everlasting. Eternal Rock of Ages, we pray Thou Lord of the Harvest, for those who do not know You, that You send forth labourers into Your harvest, for the harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers are few. We pray and ask all these things in Jesus mighty and exalted name, amen.
