Love Lifted Me
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth on him, should not perish but have everlasting life."
John 3: 16.
When we were growing up we sang an old hymn called,
"No one Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus." This song still is so true when we consider that God's love is the greatest
love of all. He sent his only begotten Son because He knew
this would be the perfect sacrifice to reconcile and bring fallen man back to God.
God's plan is that all come to repentance and live an abundant life through Christ.
Because of sin, it was necessary to have a Mediator between God and
man, one who could bridge the gap and be worthy to open the Book seen
by John in the Book of Revelation. There was no other except Jesus who could become as we are in
the flesh, yet without any sin or guile. His blood was the only righteous blood which could wash
away the sins of the World and bring a new and better covenant of Grace.
He took the curse of sin to fulfill God's plan for redemption.
Grace is "unmerited favor" or God's riches at Christ's expense.
He is still touched by the feelings of our infirmities and was a man
acquainted with sorrow and grief. He came unto his own and his own
received Him not. Many still reject Him today.
He still loves and calls unto them to "come unto Him."
His love is an unconditional, boundless, and unending love.
May we always see the one with the greatest "heart" of all.
His heart was given not only for man but to all mankind. He gave his life that we might live.
As we give him our lives, we too can live. His love still amazes us and his grace
is sufficient always.
Offer up sacrifices of praise today to the one who gave his
only Son and the greatest love of all, Christ Jesus.
His love lifted us, placed our feet on the solid rock and
will keep us as we keep holding on to Jesus. His love is the greatest gift of all.
Blessings in Christ,

Love
"Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never
haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy.
It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad
about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. If you love
someone you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always
stand your ground in defending him.
All the special gifts and powers from God will someday come to an end, but love goes on forever.....1 Cor. 13:

God's Love Is The Greatest Of All
In the fullness of time, God sent his Son to this earth,
He was born of a virgin........and angels rejoiced at his birth.
His name was called Jesus... who would save us from sin,
The one who lives forever, our Savior, Lord, and friend.
He walked among men and taught them his ways,
Was sinless and perfect....all of his days,
He walked Calvary's Hill..... to an old rugged cross,
Willingly laid down his life.... to save the lost.
There is no other with a love such as He,
No other friend who would die to set us free.
His love was the greatest, as God sent only his best,
To ransom lost souls, give peace and true rest.
The greatest love of all now forever reigns,
His love never changes, it is always the same.
Each day of the year.... every minute of the day,
He hears our words.... when to Him we pray.
God cared enough to send his very best,
Do we care for Him?.......Will our love stand the test?
Remember to thank Him with praise from your heart,
Not just on this day........ but as each new day starts.
