One Love

The media tells us that there is someone out there for everybody. If we are pretty enough or handsome enough...make enough money or are successful in our careers...if we are charming. witty, and charismatic then we are worthy of a great love.
Yet God's word tells me that I am to come just as I am..poor, wretched, brokenhearted, unworthy and He will be the One true love of my life. There is no need to clean up nor work for His affection. There are no hoops to jump through and no rituals to follow for His acceptance. All I have to do is love Him back with all my heart..my soul..my strength.
I have been wretched and brokenhearted. And I have been successful and well thought of in my arena. But nothing nor no one has shown me love like Jesus. No one has died for me like Jesus. No one lives for me like Jesus. Do I deserve His love? No, yet God reaches out with loving arms and draws me to Himself.
One God
One Savior
One Love....ours for the asking.

With My Life

This is the best definition of worship ever!!! Watch how we as fans show our love of entertainment idols...we dress like them...we emulate them...we act like them...we even can be heard saying "I want to be just like..."Now this is worship. Too bad it is for someone so unworthy.
Gardenfire reminds us that the only true one worthy of worship is Jesus Christ. We should emulate HIM...talk like HIM...love like HIM...live like HIM. By being a living sacrifice , we prove His Holiness and worthiness. We sing to please Him and thank Him but we live so as to prove His great love for us. Remember that you may be the only Bible anyone reads!

Get Busy

You gotta love those people who are overachievers... always busy doing things. Often I find they are not sure why they are doing things...nor what the things are for, but their pleasure seems to come in the doing not the end product.
Gardenfire reminds us that there is most definitely an end in life. And if we have gotten caught up in the doing of life without thought as to why the doing or the outcome of the doing,then we may be in danger of a futile and useless life. Jesus tells us that we are to have an abundant life in Him. But He also tells us that we should be living for Him. So, as I see it, our lives must reflect loving and living and doing for God. If that is not what we as Christians are doing, then all our doing is for naught. Living...or dying...hmmmm are there really 2 choices?
