Blessed joyous day/evening to all my brothers and sisters around the world. Do remember to pray for our brothers and sisters and the unsaved around the world.
Love in its truest form
There are 8 letters out of the whole alphabet that when it is said and applied whole heartedly and honestly and when said without expecting it in return has the power to really make a difference. Those 8 letters come in the form of 3 words.
I Love you. Why is that and how can that be you may ask? Because we were created by Almighty God to love and be loved.
Afterall, God said it and showed it to the world when He sent His only Begotton Son our Lord Jesus Christ to die on the cross of Calvary. Let's turn to and read ( John 3 verse 16 ) which reads, ( 16 )
" For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." Now notice verse 17 of ( John 3 ) ( Now watch this ) ( 17 ) " For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
" Now it says Might be saved as Apostle John was not doubting what God was doing but that He knew God would leave the decision to mankind whether we truly desire to be saved or not.
Now one last example ( as I cannot name all the ways God has and is saying I love you as there's far too many proofs of this even now.) Now turn to and lets read ( Romans 5 verse 8 ) which reads, ( 8 ) " But God commandeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
" And so being that God has made a way for all to be reconciled back to Him, and made a way when He did not have to for His creation to be reconciled back to Him and to obtain Eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord & Savior.
That said, let me ask you this, Do you show your family, and do you tell them, your husband, or wife, children and other relatives that you love them and do you truly show it?
I ask cause think about this, having a family, as well as us all being a family in Christ Jesus is a gift from God how do I know? Well turn with me and lets read ( James 1 verse 17 ) which reads like this, ( 17 ) " Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
" And so when your husband, wife, kids or other family do wrong don't go after them about it out of anger but talk about it and correct it with love. Especially with our kids as how we raise them will reflect back on us eventually.
As think when God corrects us He doesnt do so out of anger but chastises ( corrects ) us with love. Just remember how the Bible says to bring up our children in ( Proverbs 22 verse 6 ) which reads, ( 6 ) " Train up a child in the way He should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it." And ( Ephesians 6:4 ) tells us, to not provoke our children to anger, but to bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
" And so even if for those of us that have kids, even if any of us were brought up in harsh manner. Pray and ask our Father in heaven to help and provide what is needed so that we do not do the same to them.
And remember for those that are bringing up their children in a way opposite of how God says to, confess the wrongs ( 1 John 1:9 ) and ask for forgiveness as God still forgives all manner of sins.
Dear Heavenly & Eternal Father, we thank you for each and everyday you awaken us to.
We know we make wrong choices that go against you. We confess and ask for forgiveness of them all.
And through this message I ask you Father to please help all families and parents that are veering from the path you set before them, to please guide them back to the right path that ultimately will set them on the narrow road that leads to life.
As the wide road that leads to destruction is a very terrifying way to go. And to please provide us what we need to stay on your narrow road.
Thank you Father for our families is they are a very a perfect gift from you.
In Jesus name! Amen!
