Good Morning,<\/p>\n
Hope all is well with all of you! Me and mine are fighting either the rhino or corona viruses. Hopefully just a couple of more days and we\u2019ll be over them!<\/p>\n
Well, this week I want to summarize the last few weeks\u2026 for the last few weeks our weekly messages covered just a single verse:<\/p>\n
1st<\/sup> Corinthians 13:4 (NKJV) Hopefully you have noticed that love, true love (as defined by God) is awesome and precious. It is an action word that seeks the best of others regardless of what may come. It is innocent and deliberate, holy and honorable, though willing to be trodden down if (hopefully) it brings you closer to understanding true love yourself.<\/p>\n To encounter a person\u2026 better yet, God who liberally gives this love out is to be swept away in joy and thanksgiving. Just think of John Newton who wrote \u201cAmazing Grace\u201d after comprehending and experiencing God\u2019s love after years of profane living\u2026<\/p>\n Amazing grace! How sweet the sound, ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, Grace means merciful kindness<\/em>\u2026 and perhaps you\u2019ve heard it described as undeserved love<\/em>. Yes\u2026 that\u2019s right\u2026. You find love in grace!<\/p>\n Reading the Old Testament will show would how gracious God was toward mankind\u2026 from Adam and Eve right on through to Noah and his family. I mean, God knew mankind was still bent against Him even though He saved them to re-populate the earth. And then on to Abraham and his descendants, to King David and the nation Israel\u2026 time and again sparing them total annihilation despite all that rebellion and spiritual adultery! Even modern Israel, now under divine chastening remains and will be restored and redeemed yet again in the future.<\/p>\n Let us not forget Jesus Christ\u2026<\/p>\n 2nd<\/sup> Corinthians 8:9 True love is divine! Jesus not only demonstrates what true love looks like, He enables us to love others in this way when we yield to His word and Spirit in us.<\/p>\n How is your love toward others?<\/p>\n **Comments\/ questions\/ testimonies\/ objections most encouraged!<\/p>\n Dear Lord, thank you for this time to consider Your word and Your ways. May our thoughts, words, and deeds bring You glory\u2026 and glory to You alone. \u2013Amen<\/em><\/p>\n Peace, Good Morning, Hope all is well with all of you! Me and mine are fighting either the rhino or corona viruses. Hopefully just a couple of more days and we\u2019ll be over them!

\nLove suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThat saved a wretch like me!
\nI once was lost but now am found
\nWas blind, but now I see.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAnd grace my fears relieved;
\nHow precious did that grace appear
\nThe hour I first believed!<\/em><\/p>\n
\nFor you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.<\/em><\/p>\n
