I have seen and heard it so many times...love one another. Many say they love the Lord and God. They love the Lord and God and have never seen either. That is so wonderful if it true.....get what I said now, if it is genuinely true.
Unseen is He whom we say we love. We sing, I love the Lord he heard my cry! I love to praise Him and Lift Him Up! When I rose this morning I didn't have No Doubt! Cause I love the Lord.....Glory be to God that we Love Him, Honor Him and Glorify His Holy Name!
Now you see me, and use me, lie to me, hate me, beat me, kill me, steal from me, and cheat me just to name a few of the things we do to those we see every single day.....You see me in need, you see me lonely, you see me hungry, you see me ragged and dirty, you see me bleeding and dying, you see me homeless, you see me in the gutter, you see me, oh yes, you see me, I have a face, that face may not be the color you like,, or choose to see, but you see me...............and DON'T LOVE ME.
You know it is possible, but very little effort is put forth to acquire or give that kind of LOVE.
And you love a God, a Lord you have never seen...............
Your Lord, Your God knows your type of Love, and He knows it is hard to Love someone unseen verses Loving someone you see. And because you have the propensity to love what you see other than what you don't see. That book he left for us, stresses that we love one another, as our Savior was giving his life, he asked us to love one another. HE KNEW IT WAS THE HARDEST THING FOR US TO DO!!!
Sacrificing His Life was the greatest symbol of His Love for Us!
Think about the type of love you have, you give, you want, you need, .......Seen and Unseen, we have to strive to that higher plane of Love He Had for us ALL!!
IT IS POSSIBLE,......IT IS. GOD, OUR LORD DID IT..........LET'S TRY HARDER.

Just How grateful am I?
Just wondering ......just how grateful am I. Tears come to my eyes often these days, sometimes I know why and often I wonder just why. Spiritually I face challenges daily, sometimes I can shake it and at times I can't because fear sets in. Then I sit and wonder about my gratefulness ..........I was called to rise this morning, I didn't get a call with bad news about my children and their families. I have a roof over my head, more than enough to eat, clothes to wear and friends to talk to and be with.
The little things that throw me off track are trivial to some but to myself, my mind, my heart.....they are major. But as I think about it, those things are not my burdens to even consider and why do I have them thrown in my backpack lugging them around. Why is it every time I see one I pick it up and toss it in the old backpack to weigh me down.
How grateful am I when I do the above mentioned, I ask myself? Why do I put myself though this? I remember along time ago when I was down and out, homeless and out in the world with nothing but my children and once in a shelter. I was homeless by choice, escaping abuse, I chose to leave it rather than live in it. ....That time was peaceful to me, I had nothing but my kids and the few possesions we had in our bags. Where ever we were, we had each other, I made the most of it because we were safe. I struggled and I put it all in God's backpack, I couldn't carry a backpack and my little children who needed me. I never let them see the tears, I never let them now they were homeless, I did everything possible to make the best of my situation. I worked hard, and prayed even harder, I cried but I cried to the Lord.
Now here I am situation not remotely resembling where I was 23 years ago. But it feels like it and I was wondering ....am I not grateful?
Well, Lord, here I am, surrendering and taking this backpack off of me.........here take it, my back and shoulders hurt. I am grateful that I am allowed to do this, I am allowed to hold the Lord responsible to His word, that he will be with me in my darkest hour. For me not to fear, I am grateful that when I trot off, He doesn't go the other way, He is trotting beside me. I am grateful that He is over in Afghanistan with my daughter and He is so magnificent that he is here with me too, How awesome is that? He can be where ever we need him to be and He will be there....when we say I need you Lord, please hear my prayer, Cry to Him and our Father will do everything for us! How grateful am I? Another thing I am gonna put in my backpack, Lord, hold up, open the backpack so I can put that in there too! I love you Lord, now I am going to wait on you. You are worthy of my gratefulness, my tears...........Abide in me.
