CHOOSE GOD=CHOOSE LOVE!

 

CHOOSE GOD=CHOOSE LOVE!

 

We live in a world

We live=

In a culture=where everybody

WANTS YOU=to choose sides

 

I am here

To tell you=I am

CHOOSING GOD=CHOOSING LOVE!

 

“……..I will NO LONGER offer holocaust

Or sacrifice

To ANY other god=Except the Lord”                                                                                    2 Kings 5:17

 

So liberal or conservative=

Democrat or Republican=NO MATTER

Your race=nationality=or creed

CHOOSE justice=choose truth

Choose righteousness

CHOOSE GOD=CHOOSE LOVE!

 

EVERYONE wants us

To IDENTIFY with a particular issue

With a PARTICULAR SIDE=against

What the other side may think

I am=NOT playing that game

 

I am=CHOOSING GOD

I am CHOOSING LOVE!

At all times

 

DON’T BOW DOWN

To an idol=or ideology

Don’t bow down=to a group=always

CHOOSE GOD=CHOOSE LOVE!

 

GOD ALONE=

Should always BE=at the center

Of our thinking

Of our decision making

 

“Anyone WHO CHOOSES

To do the will=of God

Will find out

 

Whether my teaching

Comes from God=or whether I

Speak on my own”                                                                                                              John 7:17

 

CHOOSING GOD=choosing love!

Means learning=reflecting

On the issues=FACING this world

 

It means speaking up

IN HONESTY=and in love

For what is right=in this world

 

It means speaking up

IN LOVE AND WITH COMPASSION

Even for those

Who OPPOSE our views

 

It is NOT EASY=to do that

But Jesus told us

To love OUR ENEMIES

As well as our neighbors

CHOOSING GOD=CHOOSING LOVE!

On all occasions

 

“NOW CHOOSE LIFE

So that you=and your children

May live

 

And that you may

LOVE the Lord=your God

Listen to his voice-

And hold fast to him”                                                                                                                 Deuteronomy 30:19

 

“You did NOT CHOOSE ME-

But I CHOSE YOU=and appointed you

 

So that you might go

And bear fruit--------

Fruit that will last…….”                                                                                                                John 15:16

 

Dear Lord=we PRAY that

We will NOT bow down

To anything in this world

But you=WE

CHOOSE GOD=WE CHOOSE LOVE!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our FOREVER LOVING=forever perfect=Holy Father God!
