GOD'S MEASURE
There are all kinds
Of ways to MEASURE things
In this world
We can measure with a yardstick-
A tape measure=bank accounts-
And ANY and all kinds
Of ways
But God doesn't use these=
He measures our HEARTS=our minds=
And looks at our souls
He looks at how much
We LOVE our neighbor-
How much we forgive-
How KIND that we are
We can't put a
MEASURING STICK to that
“There is
NO PARTIALITY with God” Romans 2:11
God looks at us ETERNALLY=
And looks at out hearts
He looks at the
KINDS of things
You really CAN'T MEASURE
God is OBJECTIVE with things
And he looks at
EACH of us individually
He looks AT OUR HEARTS
“Give and
It will be given
To you
A GOOD MEASURE
Pressed down-shaken together
And running over
Will be poured
Into your lap
For with the MEASURE
You use
It will be
MEASURED TO YOU” Luke 6:38
“........and to know
This love
That surpasses knowledge--------
That you may be filled
To the MEASURE
Of all
The fullness of God” Ephesians 3:19
God does NOT MEASURE us
Compared to our neighbors
He does not look at
How much better
Or how much worse
We did
COMPARED to them
It is MORE about how much
We LOVED AND SERVED
Our neighbors
Because of Jesus' sacrifice
We can
ENJOY ETERNITY with him
We just have to do
The WORK of God
With our lives
GOD LOOKS AT OUR HEARTS!
“May he give you
The desire
Of your HEART
And make all
Your plans succeed” Psalm 20:4
“Let love and faithfulness
Never leave you
Bind them
Around your neck
Write them
On the tablet
OF YOUR HEART” Proverbs 3:3
DEAR Lord=Help us to
MEASURE UP in the eyes
Of love and forgiveness
And by doing YOUR WORK Lord
Help us to JUDGE LESS and
LOVE MORE=for we know
Love is the
ULTIMATE MEASURING STICK
In Jesus' name=and in the name of our ALWAYS LOVING FATHER
