FOR MORE THAN OURSELVES

 

 

 

 

 

FOR MORE=THAN OURSELVES!

(We LIVE=for each other)

 

MANY of us=In this world=ACT as though=we know it=BUT WE LIVE=in this

World=for MORE THAN OURSELVES=W live for=ONE ANOTHER=we live for=

EACH OTHER=we have=A SHARED EXISTENCE=”NONE of us=Lives for

ONESELF=and no one DIES for oneself”                                                                                  Romans 14:7

Our Jesus Christ=The SON of the Holy Father God=Knew this=More than

Anyone  else=He LIVED and died=for all of us-For MORE than himself=for

MORE THAN OURSELVES!

 

It is important-IN the CHOICES that we make=That we choose WORDS  and ACTIONS=

That IMPACT other peoples’  lives=Your words and actions=are for=FAR MORE

Than yourself=Whether you know it or not=for BETTER=or for worse=You are  FAR

MORE than yourself=So LIVE and act with LOVE!

“He humbled you=Causing you to hunger=and then feeding you with manna=Which

Neither you nor your ancestors=To teach you that=Man does NOT=LIVE on bread alone=

But on every word=That comes from=The mouth of the Lord”                                          Deuteronomy 8:3

“LET ME LIVE=that I may praise you=and may your laws sustain me”          Psalm 119:175

“Give ear=and come to me=Listen that you MAY LIVE=I will make an everlasting covenant=

With you=My faithful love=Promised to David”                                                                      Isaiah 55:3

 

I don’t know=WHERE my words came from=ALL Those years ago=When I was on

My deathbed=”TO LIVE=for my family=friends=and all people everywhere”=Somehow=

Even though=God HELPED ME=and put those words=IN MY HEART=I realize now=

EVEN on my deathbed=or so it did seem=That we do NOT LIVE=for ourselves alone=Jesus

KNEW IT=and he wants us ALL=to know it too=FOR MORE THAN OURSELVES=do we live

We LIVE FOE=EACH OTHER!

 

We have COUNTLESS opportunities=to get it right=To LIVE and love for others=So choose KINDNESS=over

Indifference=CHOOSE LOVE over hate=Choose a WARM SMILE and a HUG=over turning

Your back on someone=and just walking away=We live=FOR MORE THAN OURSELVES=We live=

FOR EACH OTHER!

“Jesus answered’=’It is written=Man does NOT LIVE=on bread alone=but on every WORD=

That comes from=The mouth of God’”                                                                                                 Matthew 4:4

“For in the gospel=The righteousness of God=is revealed--------a Righteousness that is

By faith=from first to last=Just as it is written’=’The righteous=WILL LIVE by faith’”       Romans 1:17

“Since everything=will be destroyed=In this way=What KIND of people ought you=

To be?=You ought to LIVE holy and godly lives=As you look forward to=The day of God=

And speed its coming”                                                                                                                        2 Peter 3:11

 

We need to LIVE MEANING FUL LIVES=We do that BY RECOGNIZING=The connections=

And relationships=with God and all others=And we do that=by having a SHARED EISTENCE=

IN the lives of one ANOTHER=for we live=FOR MORE THAN OURSELVES!

 

Dear Lord and Holy Father God=We THANK YOU=for YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT in our lives=

And we PRAY for=the love and ENCOURAGEMENT for all others

In the names of Jesus=and our EVER LIVING=ever loving=ever SHARING Holy Father God

OF LOVE!
