JOURNAL=ORDINARY LOVE

JOURNAL=3-9-15=ORDINARY LOVE

“Naaman went away angry saying-'I thought that he would SURELY come out and stand there to invoke the Lord his God.....'-but his servants came up and REASONED with him

'My father,'-they said-'IF the prophets have told you to do something EXTRAORDINARY-would you not have done it? ALL the more now.....” 2 KINGS 5:11,13

WE are ALWAYS looking for God in the extraordinary-but it is TRUE that God is often found in the ordinary MOMENTS of LIFE and of LOVE-like Naaman in the above scenario-he CAN'T BELIEVE that the CURE to his leprosy is FOUND in something as simple as WASHING in the river Jordan

It is like us in today's world-ALWAYS LOOKING for the KEYS to life-the keys to life ARE EXACTLY what Jesus was and IS STILL TRYING to teach us:

LOVING GOD with our whole heart-mind-and soul

LOVING OUR NEIGHBOR as OURSELF

FORGIVING 70 x 7

and LIVING the BEATITUDES

THAT'S IT-that is the KEY to life-but we become too busy looking for a BIG SIGN or SPECIAL PROCESS-that we FORGET that GOD is in the ordinary events of our life

Let us live with INTENTIONALITY-leave our heart OPEN to God-and let GOD'S GRACE and healing-HELP TURN US back to God

it is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us and a great to love GOD BACK and really and TRULY love our neighbor
