"Love Me NOT!!"

e who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love.

1 John 4:8 AMPC

BELOVED, You can't make them love you especially when they didn't grow up being shown a "healthy" example of what love is in a family, in a marriage, in relationships (in general).

 They don't know how to love you or even how to love themselves, and if they don't give themselves to GOD; they never will. 

Leah wanted Jacob to love her so bad...But here's the thing, Jacob came from a family of tricksters....His mother (Rebekah) taught him how to trick his Father and his Uncle Laban (his mother's brother) had just tricked him into marrying his daughter, Leah.

So, What are the chances of Jacob (a born trickster) being honest with Leah about his feelings? 

Because the bible says, 

Jacob made love to Rachel also, and his love for Rachel was greater than his love for Leah....

Genesis 29:14-30 NIV

But was it really love he was feeling for either woman?

Or was it lust?

Think about it!!

He had two women (two sisters) in competition over him)...A competition he could have ended had he just been honest; finished the bridal week out with Leah and then just left her alone, but he didn't do that.

So, Leah kept getting pregnant; hoping to win her husband's heart. 

Bottom line: You teach people how to treat you, by how you let them treat you. They are following your example of what love is and what love isn't.

"Honor Him"

Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”

Acts 3:2‭-‬6 NIV

Peter & John didn't have financial wealth to give, but yet they were NOT WILLING to leave this man in a lame condition, trying to fend for himself. So, They gave him what they had and what they had was healing.

SOMEBODY reading this today: If you have a father who is not financially wealthy, but he has NEVER left you in a lame condition, trying to fend for yourself....

But he has ALWAYS stepped up and given you the best he had to offer....

You should honor the gift, God has given you in him.

Just knowing your father was there (he is there) should be  reason enough...When so many of us have a father who is absent, who has always been absent. 

But NOT your father, no matter what, you know he has always tried. It may not have been silver & gold- the best of material things....

But your father has always been there. He has always tried to be a God-fearing man like Peter & John.

AND like MOST God-fearing, responsible MEN...

Your father could be found praying for ways to provide and NOT be a disappointment to his family.

That's because your father is a rare breed... Therefore, Be sure to honor him today with the  best you have to offer (whether he is here physically or not), still honor him.

“Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “so that it may go well with you ...."

Ephes 6:2‭-‬3 NIV

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!! 🎊

"What You Want?"

When Jesus saw him lying there, he knew that the man had been crippled for a long time. Jesus said to him, “Do you truly long to be well?” The sick man answered, “Sir, there’s no way I can get healed, for I have no one to lower me into the water when the angel comes. As soon as I try to crawl to the edge of the pool, someone else jumps in ahead of me.”

John 5:6‭-‬7 TPT

BELOVED, 

It's time you opened up your mouth and say what it is really want. God is not going to offer you a variety of things and then just wait and see which one you will choose....

NOT when you can open your mouth and say EXACTLY what it is you really want.

Time out for making excuses.  God is NOT asking you about who won't help you. He couldn't care less about what other people won't do. 

That's because His concern is for you...He wants to know  your feelings.

How do you feel about being healed?

How do you feel about finally being able to move?

How do you feel about a possible status change?

How do you feel about finally being able to socialize with a whole, new group of people?

How do you feel about your current circumstances?

What are you thoughts about it all? What's going on inside you that you have yet to tell anybody?

God wants to know what you want. He wants to know how you really feel, what you're really thinking....

Because as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

Proverbs 23:7 NKJ

Your heart and your thoughts are connected. Therefore, How can you fully heal; help or no help if you're not willing to be honest about where you are at mentally.

Speak up, God is listening. 

Do you truly long to be well, NOT just in one area of your life; but in all areas of your life.

Do you truly long to be well?

Think About It!

Until Next Sunday.

"Silent Strength"

He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

Isaiah 53:7 NIV

Do you know how much strength it takes to NOT open your mouth and say something when you know you have EVERY right to?

Jesus had EVERY right to open his mouth and say something when he was being oppressed, when he was being afflicted, but He didn't; he didn't open his mouth. Instead, He chose to remain silent.

Jesus choosing to remain silent and NOT say what His flesh possibly wanted to say in that moment is a HUGE LESSON for us in strength, in maturity, in disciplining ourselves... Because as His disciples we can't just haul off and say whatever we want, at any given time.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. James 1:19 NIV

And that takes strength....

We would all do well though to remember the words of the Apostle Paul:

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Philip 4:13 NKJ

BELOVED, Jesus has given us BOTH the mental strength and the physical strength we need to do all things, EVEN THE HARD THINGS that life sometimes requires...We can be silent & still be strong!!

Until Next Sunday.
