I love the Lord! It's just that simple....Not just when it's convenient or when everything in my life is going as I believe it should, but deep down in my heart...at all times. Many people in today's society would respond, "What's up with that?!" We are encouraged from all angles to be self-sufficient and not to believe in anything we can't prove, see or touch and "love" is just a word used so casually it hardly holds any true meaning even when shared between husband and wife.
Over the years, I have learned the hard way that society is wrong and the Word of God--the Bible is right. Unlike the world, God accepts me just as I am, a sinner in need of forgiveness, striving to to produce the fruit I was intended to, yet often failing. The exciting news is that God loves me anyway! How awesome is that?! He loves me so much that He sent His Son to the cross to endure the pain for my sins so that I can live eternity in Heaven with Him! What's even more incredible is that He loves each and every one just the same and the blood shed for my sins is the same blood that covers the sins of us all!
This awesome love is the real "love." The love that never fails (1 Corinthians 13) and He gives it freely. All it takes is a sincere repentance for the sins we've committed and asking Him into our lives to be our Lord and Savior! WOW---it just doesn't get any better than that!
My goal is to share openly the love of my Lord; to witness to all who will listen and to be able to stand before my Savior and hear those blessed words: "Well done, my good and faithful servant."
I pray that "mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance." (Jude 1:2)
