HOLDING NOTHING BACK!
HOLDING NOTHING BACK!
Are you a WHOLEHEARTED
LOVER of God?
Are you a wholehearted
Lover of OTHERS?
IF you are=you are
FOLLOWING the first two
Commandments of God and
Of JESUS
“The Lord watches
Over the lives
Of the WHOLEHEARTED
Their inheritance lasts forever” Psalm 37:18
To be WHOLEHEARTED=means
To EMBRACE those
First two commandments
It means to HOLD
NOTHING BACK=it means
To give our lives OVER
To the HOLY SPIRIT
“'The most important one'
Answered Jesus-
Is this=
'Hear-O Israel=the Lord is our God
The Lord is ONE
LOVE the Lord
Your God
With ALL your heart
And with
All your soul
And with all your mind
And with all YOUR STRENGTH'
The second is this=
'Love your NEIGHBOR
As yourself=
There is NO COMMANDMENT
Greater than these'” Mark 12:29-31
HOLD NOTHING BACK!
Yes loving our neighbor=
That VISIBLE man and woman
Beside us=in our lives
EVERY STEP of the way
Yes the one
Right here=that flesh-and-blood PERSON
We actually see and hear
We are to LOVE
That person=
The EXACT same way
That we hope to be
Treated and CHERISHED
Of course=we know-
Jesus GAVE every ounce
Of himself for his Father
And for others
We have to FOLLOW HIM
And live in
The exact same way
HOLD NOTHING BACK!
“Yet I am
Always with you
You HOLD me
By my right hand” Psalm 73:23
“Then he taught me
And he said to me
'Take HOLD
Of my words
With all your heart
Keep my commands
And you will LIVE'” Proverbs 4:4
With GOD'S GRACE-
We can live like Christ=
Loving God=LOVING ALL OTHERS
With God's GRACE we can
Live a life
Giving our WHOLE HEARTS
And leave a legacy
Of love and compassion
That ENDURES
“But the word
Of the Lord ENDURES FOREVER
And this is the word
That was PREACHED to you” 1 Peter 1:25
And IF we live our lives
Giving total love and our total SELVES
Like Christ=
HOLDING NOTHING BACK!=
Our lives will ENDURE forever
In Jesus' name and in the name=of our EVER ENDURING FATHER
