Love Died Today at 2 A.M.

Love died today...in the name of Dorry.

She was my Mother.

She was amazing.

She always signed, "Your Everlovin' Mother."

One of her greatest attributes was everpresent, everlovin'.

She thought the key to her everpresent everloving was in forgiving.

Forgiveness (her forgiving others) enabled her to love at all places, at all times, to all people.

She died today. But, her love in me and others will continue on...everlovin'...

That's the good thing about love, it continues on when others don't.

Consider Each Other

Consider one another.

Why?

To stir up love ... and good works.

That's good enough for me.

Consider each other so we can stir up love and good works.

That's a good thing!

Hebrews 10:24 - And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works.

Perfect!

"Perfect."

No one is, nothing is.

Perfect is accepting the fact no one is perfect and loving them anyway.

That's what perfection is. Loving inspite of imperfections.

There's the recipe for perfection.

Bring It

How can I only bring love into this situation?

How can I shake my sandles of all the dirt of this world and not bring it into the home? (See Matthewe 10:14-shake off the dust from your feet)

How can I bring light into dark areas? (See Eph 5:8-walk as children of light; and

I John 1:7-walk in light)

How can I bring joy where sadness looms? (See Psalm 16:11-in your presence is fullness of joy; and Romans 15:13-Now, may the God of hope fill you with all joy...)

Love is in the Giving it Away

Love isn't Love unless you give it away the song says. What do you think?

What are you willing to give away?

Loving from your Core

DaySprings offers this plaque. This is an artist portrayal of "Love must be sincere." I like it.
Love from the center of who you are - that is sincerity. Love from your core today. That's the best kind of love.

A Prayer for our Hearts

"May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God..." (II Thessalonians 3:5)

What a prayer! May God direct your hearts into the love of Him.

Lord, hear our prayers. Direct our hearts right into You and Your Love.

The Cry of Our Hearts - to be Loved for ourselves

Time to Sing! The cry of our soul: Love Me, for Me! Sing along.

Love & Eternity

"Love, then, is the way believers experience eternity within time."

(page 1693, New Spirit Filled Life Bible)

What a great thought. We experience eternity when we love, because love will never end. (I Corinthians 13:8)

Experience eternity today: Love.

Without Blame/Before Him/In Love

Ephesians 1:4 challenges me: to be without blame before HIM in love.

There's a lot going on there.

#1 - to be without blame

#2 - to be before Him

#3 - to be there in/with love

That's a challenge not only for today, but for everyday.

Love as He did

David Platt in his book, Radical, says all Jesus wanted a few good men "who would think as he did, love as he did, see as he did, teach as he did, and serve as he did." (page 88)

What a great challenge for us: Love as Jesus did.

As a matter of fact, do all as He did.

Whatever you do, do it not only to Him, for Him, by Him, but as He would do it.

I Cor 10:31 - whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God

Col 3:17 - whatever you do...do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God

Col 3:23 - whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not men
