Good morning! How are we faithing this warm day? There is a lot going on in this country right now. Political, economic, natural things that directly effect our lives. Changes are hard for us to handle sometimes because of routine and our comfort zone. Drives me nuts to oversleep. Infuriates me when people do the same thing over and over and cry about the results. Turn signal non usage. What winds you up? Do you do or say stupid things when those things happen? Guess what, they're gonna happen and the only one you have control over or can even hope to improve is you. We talked about what love requires and it is important that you act and not just react. Yes you can change how you react but it takes willingness, time and effort. The Word teaches us to love all the time and also teaches us understanding. We have to react to emergencies but we must act to others who are struggling. Just because it isn't a struggle for you or me doesn't mean it isn't for them. Our compassion in this arena can go very far or it can shut down someone irrevocably. Just think before you speak today and notice what your first reaction was in your head. You will find where you need to improve.
Joh 15:8-14
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and so shall ye be my disciples. Even as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you.
