IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE

IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE
As 21st century=MODERN DAY APOSTLES=
Our job=is to RESPOND with LOVE
IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE
In other words=in EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE-
To bring something BETTER
To the table=
That makes people feel better
That makes them THINK=
IF not say
"I never thought of that"
In every circumstance=let us
BRING LOVE!
"I-John saw.....seven angels.....
For through them GOD'S FURY
Is accomplished.....
WHO will not fear you-LORD?=
Or GLORIFY your name"                                                                                          Revelation 15, 1,4
I believe=GOD IS GOOD=
Compassionate=and full of LOVE
That is what I see
In my ROLE MODEL JESUS
LOVE=in every CIRCUMSTANCE
Of his life
That is WHY
I don't quite fully understand
The OLD TESTAMENT GOD
The angry and vengeful God
CAN a God of love=also
Punish and destroy=I don't know
I guess he can
But I do KNOW=as modern day CHRISTIANS
Our job is
To BRING LOVE into the world
To make the world A BETTER PLACE
In every circumstance
Bring love=LIVE WITH LOVE
"I am NOT saying this
Because I am
In need
For I have LEARNED
To be content
Whatever the CIRCUMSTANCES"                                                                                      Philippians 4:11
I have learned to TRY
To always RESPOND IN LOVE
"Rejoice always-PRAY continually
Give thanks in all CIRCUMSTANCES
For this is GOD'S WILL
For you in Christ Jesus"                                                                                             1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
I can see
MUCH that would enrage God
In this world
WE make war on
One another=we pillage
And pollute the world
We MANIPULATE the young
CHILDREN of God
But God sends us Jesus
The SACRIFICIAL LAMB
To take on our sins
God RESPONDS with LOVE
Jesus responds with love
And God will respond with love
For us=EVEN TODAY
"He will RESPOND
To the prayer
Of the destitute
He will not despise
Their plea"                                                                                                                    Psalm 102:17
"'In that day=
I will RESPOND'
Declares the Lord"                                                                                                        Hosea 2:21
Our JOB=as CHRISTIANS is to
Respond to darkness and evil=
With love=IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE
Just as Jesus did
Dear LORD=help us GLORIFY your name
By loving others=as
Jesus taught us
IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE
In Jesus' name=and the name
Of the almighty=EVERLASTING FATHER!
