Love. What is it? That's an age old question....but from one of my students perspective.
Me: Love, what is that?
Student: Like Granny and Papa.



I would have to agree.

This day Monday, November 18, 2013 deserves a celebration because you see I once was lost, but now I am found. I once was blind, but now I see. Sin was deep, but His love and blood was greater still. So, I celebrate this day and everyday, that Jesus Christ has made me whole. Even though I'm not perfect I struggle everyday with realizing who I am in Christ and what he did for me. It's a  beautiful struggle with ups and downs. I struggle with the importance of what I am doing now...is it worthwhile. I don't want to "run" in vain. (Phillipians 3:2) I feel the teeter totter of freedom in Christ and using my freedom in Christ for my own advantage.(Galatians 5:13)  Life isn't always beautiful, sometimes it hurts. Last week at this time I called my best friend to run to the hospital with me because my dad had been admitted. not easy. God is faithful to me though, even when I am not faithful to Him, and that my friend is the beauty of grace.

Stop. it. 


Stop it. Just stop. Seriously, stop going to church. Stop giving clothes to charity. Stop being friendly. Quit Bible study. Just stop. Stop singing in church raising your hands up high. Stop giving tithe. It's worthless, pointless really. Profits nothing......without love that is. If I give my body to be burned, but don't have love. I am nothing. If I raise my hands in church apparently praising the One who died for me, but don't love my brother (or enemy) my worship is null and void. If I go to a forgein land, and live my life spreading the gospel, yet I don't love, then I have done it all for nothing. 

This thought is obviously not orginal with me. It comes from 1 Corinthians 13. Agape love....true love is so much bigger than me. May I live each and every day in an understading that the people around me are hurting literally, fighting hell. Love them inspite of themselves not because I am capable in myself, but because He loved me first.

Matthew 1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in shadow of death to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Oh, that my life would revolve around bringing people into a peace with God and showing them the light.

"There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully around with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy or at least the risk of tragedy is damnation. The only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbrations of love is Hell.

You, oh Lord, are my King.
