Stay In The Sunshine
If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love. John 15:10
|
In his book The Best Is Yet To Be, Henry Durbanville told the story of a little girl in London who won a prize at a flower show. Her entry was grown in an old cracked teapot and had been placed in the attic window of a rundown tenement house. When someone asked how she managed to raise such a lovely flower in such an unlikely environment, she said she moved it around so it would always be in the sunlight.
Durbanville then reminded his readers of Jesus' words, "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love" (John 15:9). We learn from this that we too must keep ourselves continually in the warmth of Christ's love.
We abide in Christ's love when we show love to others. Jesus made this clear when He said, "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love . . . . This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends" (vv.10,12-13).
We feel the warmth of Christ's love when we obey His commandment to love and serve others. That's the way to stay in the sunshine. Richard De Haan
For Further Study
What are some ways Jesus showed love?
(Mt. 8:14-17; 15:32-39; 19:13-15; 27:33-35)
How can we show Christ's love to others?
(Mt. 28:19-20; Gal. 5:13; 6:1-2; Col. 3:13)
Our love for God is seen in our love for others.

The Price to Pay
We have a journey coming. The path is marked for you.
Youve all received instructions in the things you have to do.
Dont worry about the payment. Your fares been paid in full.
It took a little influence, but we know Someone with pull.
You may have had a chance sometime, to give some kids a ride.
Im sure it made you feel real good, somewhere deep inside.
How generous could you have been to pay the price in pain?
Could you have had the courage to go back again and again?
A million times? A billion? Ten billion ... even more?
We cant conceive the suffering, or the purpose it was for.
The passage has been paid for us, but somethings still not fair.
You still owe a debt of gratitude that cant be paid by prayer.
You can pay this debt to others who may need something from you,
Pay it forward, if you will, when you see that its come due.
The ones who need are needy. Some even carry signs.
Be careful though to choose your path, there are so many lines.
Do not fall prey to giving, just for the givings sake.
The proper way to lend your help will give your back an ache.
And blisters could show up on those oh-so-soft hands you have,
Be comforted that where youre bound, there will be healing salve.

For all of you guys and gsls who like to read books about WWII or submarines, let me tell you about my cousin Steven M. Wilson. He has written two books, the first is the "Voyage of the Gray Wolves", the second book is "Between the Hunter and the Hunted".
No, I haven't read them yet but am waiting for them to arrive. From what everyone has told me that has read them, they are really good.

OOPS!! I meant "guys and GALS". Geeze, maybe I need to go to bed and start over later!

It is excellent artistry.
If anyone wants to know, the picture came first. It isn't difficult to be inspired with an image like that.

"This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends" We honor here this and every day, all those who serve here and around the world, acting under this Commandment.
Most do so for total strangers, desiring them to enjoy the fruits of fair governance, the ability to be self-sufficient and prosper, and to experience the joys of knowing a loving God, so often taken for granted in freer, more prosperous nations.
Surely this includes all those who serve us at home as firemen, policemen, medical personnel, etc., but especially our military pesonnel!
May God hold each one in His hands, infusing them with strength and guide their every action; and comfort all connected with them who also serve, waiting for their return...
