JOURNAL/MISSING THE POINT

JOURNAL-MISSING THE POINT




“WE ALWAYS pray for you that OUR GOD may make you WORTHY of his calling”........2 Thessalonians 1:11


'THERE is a famous saying-'God doesn't call the equipped-HE EQUIPS the CALLED'”


GOD gives us GIFTS every day to ALLOW US to respond to the PURPOSE for which we are called-
and to USE those GIFTS to love and serve him


Dear Lord-we PRAY that we use our gifts today-anything less is MISSING THE POINT of our lives


it is A GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in God's LOVE for us-and a great day to USE our gifts for GOD'S
PURPOSE in our lives








MISSING THE POINT ( of life )




Are you like me
Do you find
That many of us
Are missing the point
Of God’s central theme
Of who he is
And what he is
Trying to teach us


And what he is
Trying to teach us
Is that he loves us
With an ever-lasting---never-ending
Kind of love


And that
He has mercy and compassion for us
Even in our deepest---darkest moments


GOD LOVES YOU


Love is patient
Love is kind


God loves you


The Lord appeared in the past saying,
“I have loved you
With an everlasting love
I have drawn you
With loving kindness” Jeremiah 31:3


Love does not boast
Love is not proud
Love is not rude
Love is not self-seeking


If we are living out our lives
On these qualities
Putting ourselves first
We are MISSING THE POINT
Of life


“A new command I give you:
Love one another
As I have loved you
So you must love one another


By this all men will know
That you are my disciples
If you love one another” John 13:34 & 35


Love is not easily angered
It keeps no record of wrong


Love does not delight in evil
But rejoices in the truth


And the truth
Shall set you free
And the truth is that
GOD LOVES YOU


It always protects
Always trusts
Always hopes
Always perseveres


If we live out our life
By loving him
If we live out our life
By loving others


We know that we won’t be
MISSING THE POINT
Of life


Because as 1 Corinthians 13 tells us


LOVE NEVER FAILS
