Reminders Of Love

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: John 19:1-7, 16-18

God is love. —1 John 4:8

After the US entered World War II in 1941, Estelle tried to talk her boyfriend Sidney out of joining the Army. But he enlisted and began his training in April of the following year. For the next 3 years he wrote her love letters—525 in all. Then in March 1945, she learned that her beloved fiancé had been killed in combat.

Although Estelle did eventually marry, the memories of her first love lived in her heart. To honor that love, she published a book of Sidney’s wartime correspondence more than 60 years later.

Like those letters, the Lord has left us with reminders of His love—the Scriptures. He says: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you” (Jer. 31:3).

“As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love” (John 15:9).

The Bible also tells us that “Christ . . . loved the church and gave Himself for her” (Eph. 5:25).

“[Jesus] gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us” (Titus 2:14).

“God is love” (1 John 4:8).

Read God’s Word often and be reminded that Jesus loves you and died for you.

With lovingkindness I have drawn you,
Proving that My love is true;
Do not neglect to read of that love,
Written in My Word for you. —Verway

Nothing can compare to the love of God.
Bible in One Year: Psalms 132-134; 1 Corinthians 11:17-34

So lovely! And guess what? I must work today really! LOL! My sweet brother is planning a visit soon! Maybe 2-3 weeks from now and it will take me that long (with my hip) to get things in order. I may have to get someone to help one day! The tough part is finding someone!

It’s the dew
Totally new
I washed the sorrow of yesterday
by fresh water on my face
racing the sun before it’s raised
I prayed, I inhaled
I raised my hands to the sky
I praised Him, I exhaled
And by then
All what was left of yesterday
Is the lesson that I’ve learnt

It’s the sun rays
After the rains
I drove out the sorrows of yesterday
By contemplate
By appreciate
having a roof above my head
my family and friends
the beauty I can see, the music I can sense
I took a deep breath
And by then
All what’s left of yesterday
Is the lesson I’ve learnt

Sun rays wipe the dew
Everything in life is good
Look forward
You see, the way home is long
But if you walk it gets short
You see, the chains are tight
But with your strive, freedom will be yours

” ...If God places such a high value on us, we should also place a high value on the people He has brought into our lives. Bring them before the Lord in prayer. Ask Him to show you how each is more priceless than the most costly jewel in the universe.”
