Love Means Giving

 John 3:16  16 For God so loved the world, that he gave . . .  You can give without loving, but you can't love without giving.  When you love you will give of your time, you will give of yourself, and you will give of your resources. Those who truly love, hold nothing back.  The measure of your giving reveals the measure of your love.  Love is something we can't see, but we can see the evidence of love in the action it produces, which is giving.  If you love someone you will also give them forgiveness. Love causes you to be merciful, understanding, and forgiving.  Where you give your time and resources also reveals what you love. If we think we love someone, yet never give to them of our time or resources, then we are just deceiving ourselves.  There are many people in each of our lives who need and deserve our love.  Christ is the most deserving of all! Christ proved 

that he had love for us all, because he gave his life for you and I.

It is said there is no greater gift than a man to lay down his life for another.

Well Christ did that for you and while we were  still yet his enemies.

Are you tired of being a closet Christian??? Who at your work could say

that they know your Christian not because you have a bible on your desk

 or because you smile a lot or listen to Christian music. Can you say

that others know you are a Christian because of the love that give to others???

Jesus Jesus Jesus

Everything I need is in the Name of Jesus

We go and we look at vitamins to ensure that we get what our bodies need daily.

Yet Jesus is truly what we need, there is nothing more than him.

Whether it be alcohol, drugs, sexual addiction, depression.

The bible says no weapon formed against you shall prosper.

Jesus is all we need, no body else can give site to the blind.

Jesus is the only one we know that walked on water.

Jesus is the only one who could pay the price for you and I.

Jesus I want to say thank you for came down from glory.

Jesus you became a man of flesh and blood and suffered much for me.

You saw that field and sold all to have us.

Christ left glory to have not even a pillow to lay his head upon.

So next time when you start thinking about what your going through.

Remember Christ paid the price that you and I can could not pay.

So let each of us die to ourselves and be a blessing to someone else.

Let us remember this when a brother or sister has a need.

Christ saw our need and realize that we could not pay it ourselves.

He is more than my savior, he is my redeemer, he is my will .

He is the only friend I have in the middle of the night.

He is the only one who will love me even when I fall short of his will.

He is the only one who loved me for me regardless of how messed up I'm.

Oh precious is the blood of Jesus, that was shade for a sinner like me.

Lord God I want to thank you for son's blood that gives me eternal life.

Because of Christ I live, because of his blood I have hope.

Because he loved me so much I'm redeemed and so are you.

So tonight join me in saying Jesus, thank you Jesus.

For without him we would not be here. For justice had

already demand that we should die for our sins. But

thank God Christ had already told the Father that. when

man sins, I will go down and die for him.

What a love for his creation,

Christ is better to us than we deserve

o you really want what we deserve? Maybe we should first find out what we really deserve.  PSALM 103:8-10  8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. 9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; 10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.  Thank God that I don't get what I deserve! People clamoring to get what they deserve are really in the dark.  God is the judge and He declares that we have all fallen short none of us deserves good. But the wonderful news is that God loves us so much that He is not giving us what we deserve. But it doesn't stop there. It gets better. Believers are actually going to receive what Christ deserves!  Christ took what we deserved -- punishment. And now, because of His great love, offers us what He deserves -- freely as a gift of love. Oh Lord God with all that I've done wrong, you still been 

better to me than I deserve to be treated. I'm thankful that you 

are in control instead of me. Lord God your love  was shown on the 

cross when you gave your son who knew no sin, pay the price for sinner

like me who deserve to die, but your grace and mercy paid the price for me.

Thank you Lord God for the love that is beyond understand.

To see Christ is to see the Father

Do you want to know God? Get acquainted with Christ through the

pages of the Bible. For to know Christ is to know the Father.

For the followers of Christ asked him to show them the Father

He tells them if they have seen him they have the Father.

JOHN 12:44-45

44 . . .Christ. . .said, "He who believes in Me, believes not in

Me but in Him who sent Me.

45 "And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.

JOHN 14:7-10

7 "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also;

and from now on you know Him and have seen Him."

8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is

sufficient for us."

9 Christ said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you

have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the

Father; so how can you say, `Show us the Father'?

10 "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father

in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own

authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

Why am I stressing this point? It's simple. Most people think

highly of Christ of Nazareth. After all, there is not anything

to fault with Him. But when it comes to God, most people blame

Him for a lot of bad stuff.

The truth is: looking at Christ gives you a perfectly clear

picture of what the invisible God is like. Any other picture is

a lie and a distortion.

The bible tells us that the Word(Christ) was one with the Father.

We need to become one with our Father in spirit. Let us each

seek to die to ourselves and become like Christ each day.
