ACTING WITH LOVE!

 

ACTING WITH LOVE!

 

Today we have=another story=

Another parable from the BOOK OF MATTHEW

About the TALENTS

 

The man with five bags of GOD=

Doubles his=and the man with two bags

Doubles his= bags too=but the man

WITH JUST ONE=BURIES THE TREASURE

 

“…….out of fear=I went off

And BURIED YOUR TALENT= in the ground”                                                                          Matthew 25:25

 

This third servant=in the story

ACTS out of fear=like

So many of us do

 

Yet Jesus tells us=OVER AND OVER AGAIN

To=”DO NOT FEAR”

 

Like Jesus did=we need to

OVERCOME OUR FEAR=in our lives

And=ACT OUT OF LOVE=so that

 

Some day we can HEAR

WORDS from Jesus=like these=

“His master replied’=

‘Well done=GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT!

 

You have been faithful=with

A few things=I will put you in charge

Of many things=

Come and SHARE your master’s happiness!’”                                                                    Matthew 25:23

 

That is my DREAM=in this life

TO ACT WITH SO MUCH LOVE=In this world

That one day=I will hear these words

From the Lord=

“WELL DONE=GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT”

 

It is easy=to

Become disheartened in this life=to

BECOME full of uncertainty=full of fear

That we become paralyzed=and cannot

ACT OUT OF LOVE

ACTING WITH LOVE!

 

And yet=that is OUR DUTY AS CHRISTIANS

To FIGHT though the pain=and

SUFFERING in life=and continue

ACTING IN LOVE!

 

“For the Lord=is righteous

HE LOVES JUSTICE=the upright

Will see his face”                                                                                                                          Psalm 11:7

 

“The reason my Father=LOVES ME

Is=I lay my life down=only

To take it up again”                                                                                                           John 10:17

 

SO FIGHT THROUGH=all that pain and suffering

And look around=at all the pain

And suffering of others

Do not be afraid=Keep=ACTING WITH LOVE!

 

Let your light SHINE=let

Your heart glow=keep=ACTING WITH LOVE

And saying to others

 

“I see your pain=I see you are hurting

I hurt too=But we can HELP each other

YOU ARE NOT ALONE”

 

KEEP ACTING WITH LOVE!=Just like Jesus

LOVE over fear=ACTING WITH LOVE!

Do not be afraid=Do NOT bury your treasures

 

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