Jesus I am So In Love With You...

By Anonymous -
Have you ever sung along to that song in the car or during worship service at your church? I believe I sang it for the first time just a few Sundays ago. I marveled at the song...not for its composition nor lyrics - but the whole idea of being in love with Jesus. I can fully say I love Jesus...but am I in love with Jesus? Granted the song is not inferring some type of eros or romantic love, but deep passionate agape - seeking the best for Him. Hmmmm....

I was also awestruck by what that would mean. Well, I say I love my Jesus and yet I just cannot get my self out of bed in time to be in the word and pray each morning. Each afternoon during my children's nap & quiet time I find numerous other things to "do first" then read and pray. Usually one of my kids needs me before I get to the Bible and prayer. I want to live life like I DO love Jesus and am in love with Jesus.

Whilst singing this heart the LORD really impressed upon my heart that Jesus is the word, "and the word became flesh among us". It was almost too much to handle...how can I be so passe with God's word and tell my children to put God first, to know his word? LORD, help me to put your word first - before everything else I want to put before my eyes, Help me to desire to know your word, to write it on the tablet of my heart!

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. (John 1:1-3) The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14) If you are like me and you love Jesus and you want to live the life of being in love with Jesus - then I encourage you to open up God's word everyday, as I am striving to do, so that we can know and love our Jesus!

You are God in heaven
And here am I on earth,
So I'll let my words be few-
Jesus I am so in love with You.

And I'll stand in awe of You,
Yes I'll stand in awe of You,
And I'll let my words be few-
Jesus I am so in love with You.

The simplest of all love songs
I want to bring to You,
So I'll let my words be few-
Jesus I am so in love with You.

-Matt Redman "Let My Words Be Few"

Is It Possible To Be Truly Kind?

By Anonymous -
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:31,32 (NIV) I cannot recall how many times I've been told how "nice" I am. Or when I was younger, "you're too sweet." I know that I've heard it enough that I believed it and it grew into pride. Thinking of it now seems a bit ridiculous, but seriously - I really have an issue with it. I work with much ambition to be seen as nice and kind. I work at being nice and kind. Imagine my shock to heart that some of my kindness is fake! Many years ago a woman from Calvary Fellowship Seattle gave me this small booklet with a yellow jacket. The title was, "How To Be Free From Bitterness." Truly it was a work God was doing even then, though I scoffed at the title and tucked it away on my bookshelf. It is also safe to say that I don't know ...

Luke 1:38 And Mary said, "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." I have been thinking on these words of Mary often this Christmas. Mary describes herself as the servant of the Lord….servant of the Lord. How did that play out in Mary’s life? She was probably ostracized for most of her pregnancy for being “supernaturally pregnant.” Scripture doesn’t say exactly what she endured, but it does record that God sent an angel to Joseph to explain to him that Mary’s story was real. So, obviously it was a big enough deal to require a heavenly messenger. We see in the Gospel of Luke that Mary had the joy of going on a trip during the later part of her pregnancy, birthing a baby in a stable, laying him in an animal trough, and being greeted by shepherds after giving birth. Wow, not exactly what I would have expected the mother of our Lord to have endured in order to welcome Him into this world. Not exactly what I like to think of when I...
