Live in Love By Candace_Lewis

Reference: Romans 12:9-10

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.

Many times in our relationships with one another, especially in marriages, it is easy to cling to what is evil rather than good. The Bible tells us to hate the evil and cling to good. We are not to hold on to the wrongs or misunderstanding that were dealt to us, but to cling or hold on to the good that has been given us. Hate the evil thing, not the person who dealt it, and don't bring it up again. Remember the good and keep it in your heart forever. Live a life of love, and GOD will make HIMSELF known in you and in your circumstances because HE is LOVE. (1 John 4:8)

FATHER, help us to exalt YOU today by making the choice to live in LOVE. Thank YOU. Amen.

 As I ponder the phrase, "Create a Clean Heart in Me", these things stand out to me: "Create a Clean Heart" As the fourth verse indicates, sin is always ultimately against God. Even one's sin in a lateral sense, towards others, is always ultimately against God - because He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. Having said that, however, sin wreaks havoc with our heart! Like rust on an automobile, and a limb eaten away with a deadly disease, it can never be restored to what it had b...[More]

Ah! Here God shares His heart about one of the basic struggles of leadership – keeping those who follow and have appreciated our example, from making their love for us into something robotic, mechanical, unresponsive, unfeeling, humorless, unemotional, cold, lifeless, boring, dull, and uninteresting! As I wrote in an earlier journal entry, Jesus modeled an excellent plan to keep love alive, by using his last meal with his disciples on earth to actually picture his sacrifice of love, in obedienc...[More]

How can I be a godly leader? That's the question of the disucussion I'm leading on our church's high school youth group tomorrow morning. This is the third lesson in a series of four, and I haven't been present for the first two lessons, nor do I have the materials to look back and see what they covered. So first things first, I want to walk through down the road of where we've been so far. After that, I want to pose the questions, "should we all be leaders," and "is leadership something we ...[More]

Ecclesiastes 4:1-6:12 ~ 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:7 ~ Psalm 47:1-9 ~ Proverbs 22:16   Prayer:  Father, we come before you as we contemplate Ecclesiastes again.  As we consider the three-stranded cord is not easily broken, as we consider that two are better than one, that one may assault another and overtake him, but he will not be able to take two, help us to remember that we are in community.  That we are your body and together we can withstand the onslaughts of the evil one intended to kill, s...[More]
