BECOME LIVING EXAMPLES!

 

BECOME LIVING EXAMPLES!                                                                                                      

(Of our God)

 

WE are called to be=LIVING EXAMPLES!

Of our God’s love==his forgiveness=and

HIS KINDNESS=in today’s world

 

That is =WHAT SAMUEL WAS=the prophet=

WHO was the Son of Hannah=that Holy woman

Of our God

 

Today Samuel DESPAIRS= because his sons

Have become CORRUPT=and have failed to RULE        

Israel justly=They have SQUANDERED their

OPPORTUNITY from our God

 

“Now that you are OLD=and your sons

Do NOT FOLLOW YOUR EXAMPLE=appoint a king

Over us=as other nations have=to judge us”                                                                         1 Samuel 8:5

 

Let us=NOT TURN our back on God=like

The sons of Samuel=let us become LIVING EXAMPLES

Of our Holy Father God=and his Son Jesus

IN this world

 

Let us live=with GOD’S MERCY=and with

THE ETERNAL LOVE=of our Father

LIVING EXAMPLES!=of Jesus’ love=and forgiveness

In this world=and 21^st century apostles=let us

BECOME LIVING EXAMPLES!=of our God

 

“I have set you=AN EXAMPLE=that

You should do=as I have done for you”                                                                    John 13:15

 

“FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE=as I=follow

THE EXAMPLE of Christ”                                                                                         1 Corinthians 11:1

 

“Don’t let anyone=look down on you

Because you are young=but=SET AN EXAMPLE

For the believers in speech=in conduct

In love=in faith=and in purity”                                                                                 1 Timothy 4:12

 

WOW!=what a better world=it would be

IF MORE OF US=did this =or lived with

The FRUITS=of God’s Holy Spirit!

 

Many PARENTS=in today’s world=have REGRETS

Like our Samuel did=They have been GREAT EXAMPLES

Of love for their children=but their children=have

NOT FOLLOWED=God’s way of love

 

EVERY ONE of us=in this world=CHOOSES

Who or what=will BE KING=of their life

For me=it will ALWAYS BE=the Holy Father of God

And his Son Jesus Christ

 

And I will strive to be=A LIVING EXAMPLE

Of God’s love=for others=in this crazy-mixed up world

I HOPE=that you will too

BECOME LIVING EXAMPLES!=of our world

Of our God’s love=forgiveness =and KINDNESS

 

Be living=in the SPIRIT=the Holy Spirit

Of our God

“But the FRUIT=of the Spirit=is love-joy-peace-

Forbearance-kindness-goodness- faithfulness

Gentleness=and self-control=Against such things

There is no law”                                                                                                               Galatians 5:22-23

 

“To this=you were called=because Christ

Suffered for you=LEAVING YOU AN EXAMPLE

That you should follow=in his steps”                                                                              1 Peter 2:21

 

WHEN we believe=in the MERCY of OUR GOD

We know=it is NEVER TOO LATE

To make the right choice=IN GOD

 

It is=Never too late=to BECOME

LIVING EXAMPLE’S=of our God’s love=in today’s world

 

In Jesus’ name=THE EXAMPLE for our/MY LIFE=and the Holy Father God!
