I Am Second - Love Defined

Just had to share...love this!

“Love is not a line on our to-do list. It is the whole list, the only goal, the only task in life. Love is God’s defining attribute, his all encompassing requirement, his only law. Mastery of words, intellect, success, power, friendship, or romance—none of these matters without love. All of life, every good deed, every noble task, if not colored and painted with love creates only an empty canvas. From the mundane to the profound, from cleaning dishes to curing cancer, nothing matters without love, and everything matters with it. Relationships are pointless and powerless without it. Love has little to do with feelings and everything to do with selfless, humble, thoughtful care for another person.”

Prayer – “God, you loved us while we were still your enemy, you died for us while we cursed your name, and you planned our salvation knowing our rebellion and pride. We love, because you loved first.”

Have a great and safe weekend! :)  

Had to share this one...

“A woman walks in and pours a year’s wages worth of perfume on Jesus’ feet. A woman known in her community not for her generosity or goodness but for being a “sinner”—the kind of woman found on late-night street corners. Her scented offering became the expression of her faith, of her desire and gratitude for the forgiveness that Jesus brought. While the religious leaders of the day offered only condemnation, Jesus offered forgiveness and a path back to God. Jesus knew the greater the sinner, the greater the appreciation for the beauty of forgiveness. No matter our sin, no matter our history, our mistakes or our struggles, Jesus offers forgiveness. No life is too tattered, no soul too battered, no heart is too dirtied to be saved by the forgiveness of Jesus.”

It's that awesome!

Have a great day friends! :) 

WOW...

Relationships may soothe for a time, money may give pleasure for a while, but struggles, failure, and death overtake us all in the end. Nothing in this life can truly satisfy, truly last, or bring wholeness. But while this life will always be plagued with struggles, with broken relationships, and with a world of empty money, pleasure, and success, there is hope. A hope called Jesus. A Jesus who forgives our struggles, heals our relationships, and brings value to our work and meaning to our life.

Have a great day!  

Awesome Bible study this morning....09/05/2013

Just thought I would share this were I could...I think this is great!
I ask that God teach me to spend my life never forgetting the sacrifice His Son offered.

“Jesus came because there was a price to pay and promise to fulfill. It was a promise that one day the world would end it wars and find peace from evil. Through his death sin is forgiven, the chains of evil broken, and the debt of humanity erased. While this world persists, its evils will still prevail. But Jesus promises a new unending life, a new world after this one, one without sickness or pain or trouble. He promises, for those who follow him, a new heaven and a new earth will be our future. We are offered it free and clear if only we accept it.”

Have a great day,

Haven't kept up with this as much as I would like.
Yesterday, was an okay day!
Mom is in the hospital, but she is recovery and will be out soon! Praise God!

Yesterday evening I had to take my dad to the ER because there was something stuck in his eye. Thankfully they doctor was able to remove whatever it was and we were in and out in no time! I was impressed!

This morning I am pretty tired, but glad to be here and alive and thankful for the life I have been provided with.

"Sometimes we forget that the same God who created the universe, the same God who wrote the laws of physics and who sent his Son to die on a cross, is the same God who still works and moves in this world. The same God chronicled in the Bible still offers strength and rewards, relationship and forgiveness. The God who planned the rise and fall of empires has a plan for you and me!"

That is awesome! So encouraging, right!?  God is GREAT!!!

I hope whoever reads this has a great day!

"God was not born from our imagination, but we through his. He is Creator, Master & King. We breathe with his consent, walk by his allowance, and rule through is grace." 

I surrender all!

Psalm 8:3-9 

It's August 1st 2013...A very important day in my life. I thought it would be nice just to share some daily thoughts with people that care! haha

I am currently doing a bible study called "I am Second 365 ways to make Jesus First" So I can bet that most of my postings will be short and sweet and this blog just be a way for me to share with a couple other people!

So today's thought, comes straight from my bible study...

"Does our temper get the best of us? Does impatience rather than kindness color our relationships? Does laziness or ingratitude stress and corrode our bond? What road are we traveling...the one that leads to obedience and love or the one that ends in a flood?" 


I need to reevaluate, and RESET! 
I Am Second!

Have a good day,
