DESTINED TO=LIVE AND LOVE

(With God and EACH OTHER)

 

Our God=KNEW US=Before

We were even born

He had a plan for our lives

We are=DESTINED TO LIVE

DESTINED TO LOVE

 

Early IN SCRIPTURES=Moses

Declares something=PROFOUND to us

 

“…….you shall LOVE the Lord=Your God

With all your heart=and with

ALL your soul=and all your strength”                                                                                         Deuteronomy 6:5

 

This is the BASIC PRINCIPLE=of

Mosaic law=and it is Jesus’ law too=

With the addition=to LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS

As ourselves

 

ALL GOODNESS=comes from God

We are DESTINED TO LIVE=we are=DESTINED TO LOVE

To fulfill=the PLAN=God has for our lives

WITH OUR GOD

 

“…….till I entered=the sanctuary

Of God=and understood=their FINAL DESTINY”                                                                 Psalm 73:17

 

“…….for death=is

THE DESTINY OF EVERYONE=the living

Should take this=to heart”                                                                                                   Ecclesiastes 7:2

 

“This CHILD IS DESTINED=to

Cause the falling=and rising of many

In Israel

 

And to be a sign=that will be spoken against

So that the thoughts of many hearts

Will be reveled=and a SWORD

Will pierce your own soul too”                                                                                             Luke 2:34

 

These were the WORDS=of Simeon

To the Blessed Mother Mary=But Mary’s birth

Of Jesus=and his life=death=and resurrection

WOULD PROVIDE HOPE=to many of us

Including us today

 

DESTINED to live and love=with our God

Just like Jesus and Mary=GOD INDEED

Does have PLANS for our lives

 

SCRIPTURE REVEALS=God’s love for us

Made in BIRTH=even before

We were ever born

 

“For you created=My inmost being

YOU KNIT me together=In my mother’s womb”                                                                            Psalm 139:13

Just like Jesus

 

SO NEVER DOUBT=the plan

And LOVE=God has for you

In your life=There will be CROSSES

But in the end=it will all be good

 

“May he give you=the desire

Of your heart=and make

ALL YOUR PLANS SUCCEED”                                                                                                       Psalm 20:4

 

We are=DESTINED

TO LIVE AND LOVE

With the Lord=and live lives

That bring GOOD

 

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