What a wonderful lot of posts :)

This IS what it is about, there can be no doubt about it. I think back to the old adages of "don't forget to feed the ducks!" or "don't forget to smell the roses." How many times passed have I walked straight by without even thinking of the beautiful things God has placed here on this earth for us. Instead of hearing noisy kids, I am now hearing children at play. Gentler words, helping out with a little more ensusiasm ??

The strangest thing has happened though, I can really feel when I am being pulled (or pulling myself to to speak) away from such love. I feel bad, really bad because I do not like what I see for a moment. Crazy isn't it, for what I see is what my friends, family and strangers have always seen. And I said Jesus was in my heart. Hardly, I should have said I've been doing my best to keep him out! :(

But who am I to fight the will of God, though I protest, I can never win. He, ever so lovingly has began removing the wool from my eyes and I tell you all, it's all fine that I see.

In all honesty, this last week has been very enlightening and I have grown a lot.

Thanks to you all :)

(Joh 15:9)  As the Father loved Me, I also loved you; continue in My love.

(Joh 15:10)  If you keep My commandments you will continue in My love, as I have kept My Father's commandments and continue in His love.

(Joh 15:11)  I have spoken these things to you that My joy may abide in you, and your joy may be full.

(Joh 15:12)  This is My commandment, that you love one another as I loved you.

(Joh 15:13)  Greater love than this has no one, that anyone should lay down his soul for his friends.

(Joh 15:14)  You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

(Joh 15:15)  I no longer call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his lord does. But I called you friends, because all things which I heard from My Father I made known to you.

(Joh 15:16)  You have not chosen Me, but I chose you out and planted you, that you should go and should bear fruit, and your fruit remain, that whatever you should ask the Father in My name, He may give you.

(Joh 15:17)  These things I command you, that you love one another.


He is the great example we are to follow.  Following Him in this way, while in this world is no easy matter.

God bless,

Gary
