~ We are all children of the most High. ~
Psalm 82:6
~ Is it Love? ~
My All
Seq. by Mary Tipton
W. W. J. D. ?
Jesus said, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." Matthew 22:37-40
So, there you have it. Hang the law and the prophets; is it love?
When you are the picture of health, yet you park in the handicapped zone, is it love?
If you leave shopping carts in any path but yours, at the risk of other cars getting scratched, is that love?
When you scream absurdities at traffic that inconveniences you, could that be love?
What if you use an automobile to intimidate drivers in your path, would that be love?
When you belittle someone who has less than your abilities, is it love?
Suppose you take the credit and bows for another's accomplishments, is that love?
When you say things in anger that can damage another's testimony, could that be love?
Maybe someone calls you with an immediate need, just before a church service, yet you ignore the request to be on time. Would that be love?
When you look down on someone who is not dressed just right, is it love?
If you complain when someone takes your seat, is that love?
When you rush past someone waiting to talk to you, so as not to miss the person going out the door, could that be love?
Suppose you see the Spirit compelling, but give the position to one with more credentials. Would that be love?
When you are faced with a dilemma of choosing God's will over opposition, is it love?
When God reveals something to you contrary to man's teachings, yet you keep silent, where is your love?
If you want to know what Jesus would do, just ask yourself, Is it love? |
~ Angels Unawares ~
Be kind to everyone you meet
And let the Light shine through.
Make joy in life a lasting treat
As folks encounter you.
Be careful how you plan your day.
Ask God to help you choose.
Take time to listen, when you pray.
By faith, you never lose.
Bring peace to those who fear the worst.
Bring hope where there is none.
Give water to the souls who thirst
And glorify the Son.
Be gracious, loyal, kind, and true.
Be thoughtful, just, and fair.
Do everything the Lord would do,
For He is standing there.
Reach out to those in pain and grief
And show them someone cares.
Bring love and life, and sweet relief;
Like angels unawares.
For, angels come in many forms
And many different sizes.
They walk with us through all the storms.
They often wear disguises.
So, be an angel, if you can.
You do not need the wings.
Just share your faith with fellow man
And God’s eternal things!

Do not forget to be kind to strangers,
for some who have done this have
entertained angels without realizing it.

Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life.
