How to Love the Unlovable

February 13, 2015

Do you have a neighbor or a family member that is not very lovable? Sometimes certain people are hard to love. Love is a choice. One thing that helps us to love the unlovable is prayer and forgiveness. Pray for that person, not just once but daily. Not that the Lord will bring something bad on them but that God will give YOU the love of Christ for that person. It works. It is hard to harbor ill feelings toward a person you are praying for.

Matthew 5:44
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

True Friend

February 12, 2015

A true friend loves you in good and bad times. He/she overlooks your faults and forgives. A friend will share your joy and and cry with you in sorrow. Would keep confidences and never reveal to others the secrets you have shared. A true friend is precious and to be treasured.
You are truly blessed if you have one or more true friends. Why not do something special for your friend today?

Proverbs 17:17
A friend loveth at all times,

Jesus Loves Me!

February 11, 2015

Jesus loves me! This I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong;
They are weak, but He is strong.
Refrain:
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.
Jesus loves me! This I know,
As He loved so long ago,
Taking children on His knee,
Saying, “Let them come to Me.”
Jesus loves me still today,
Walking with me on my way,
Wanting as a friend to give
Light and love to all who live.
Jesus loves me! He who died
Heaven’s gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.
Jesus loves me! He will stay
Close beside me all the way;
Thou hast bled and died for me,
I will henceforth live for Thee.

There are some things that last down through the ages and this hymn written in 1860 is one of those things. Most young children that go to Sunday School learn this song from a very young age. It is still an important message today for young and old.
JESUS loves me!!! JESUS loves you!!!

2 Thessalonians 2:16
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

LOVE

February 7, 2015

Next week is Valentine’s Day. We think of it as a day to show love to the person or persons we love. We send cards, candy, flowers or a gift to that loved one. Nothing wrong with expressing love to people we love. In fact we should show our love 365 days a year to everyone we hold dear.
The greatest love we can experience in life is to accept the love that God showed to us when He sent His Son, JESUS, to die on the cross and pay the price for our sins.
The next few days the focus will be on LOVE. The Bible has much to say about this subject.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

A Friend

“A friend is a treasure who loves you as you are, sees not only who you are but who you can become, is there to catch you when you fall, accepts you today just as you are and comes in when your whole world has fallen apart.”
Charles Stanley

Proverbs 17:17
A friend loveth at all times,

Love

“Faith makes all things possible… love makes all things easy.” ~ D.L. Moody
This is a great quote for witnessing. When you talk to someone about being saved and have faith that God will save them that is good, however if you witness to them out of duty and do not have love for them, then witnessing becomes a chore and not a blessing.
Faith and love go together. Many unsaved people do not realize that God loves them. It is our example of love toward them than will show them their need of a Savior.

1 Timothy 1:14
And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
