Re: Daily Bread

That's spot on Sis!!! By his grace and Holy Spirit, he directs the thoughts, affections, and designs of good men... By his providence he overrules events, so as to make their way plain.

"Heartache and suffering."

Heartache has a way of pointing us to the Lord Jesus, who has shared in our sufferings and can bring meaning to seemingly senseless pain... Suffering can teach us what we can’t learn in any other way. When two men walked the road to Emmaus, they were dumbfounded by the senseless murder of Jesus of Nazareth. Then a stranger joined them and gave scriptural insight about the suffering Messiah. The stranger was Jesus Himself, and His ministry to them brought comfort.

Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?

Luke 24:26

"Let God complete his love in you."

Can you imagine what an honor it is to have the Creator of the universe, the Lord God Almighty, living inside of you! But when we love each other, that is exactly what happens. When our hearts are full of love, there is room for God. When they are not full of love, we leave God little room to take up residence and produce his character in us.

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

1 John 4:11-12

"Gossip."

Gossip is neither little nor harmless. Its consequences are huge and its damage horrible. Instead, it is much better to be a peacemaker and an offense-mender.

He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.

Proverbs 17:9

"Between the eternities..."

We are travelers in a world that offers no lasting peace or rest. And while there is only one eternity, we travel between eternity past and eternity future, waiting for promises of a home and a hope that will last forever... Promises yet to be fulfilled. We look ahead by faith in Christ. One day, we will experience the promises of eternity when faith will become sight as we see Him. That hope is what lifts us beyond life between the eternities to a joy that is eternal.

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them.

Hebrews 11:13

"Reverence without fear."

What is there to fear if God sent his Son to die to redeem us? What is there to fear if we cannot be separated from the love God has for us in Christ Jesus? What is there to fear except ourselves? As we love God and his children, we are reminded by his love for us, which is far better than our meager love for others. Rather than run from him in fear, we bow before him in thanks, knowing that he who hears our prayers is also he who loves us and stops our fears.

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

1 John 4:18

"Father of all grace and mercy."

I cannot think of anything I'd prefer the Holy God to be rich in than mercy. I know my failures, shortcomings, sins, and transgressions. Without his mercy to pardon, and without his grace to send Jesus to pardon at first, I would be lost and without God. Now, because of his rich mercy, my life is tied to Jesus' future and not the one I earned for myself.

Because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved.

Ephesians 2:4-5

"God is love."

It's all very simple. God is love. He is its origin, example, and architect. I love because he loved me first. I know how to love because he has demonstrated it. I can love because he made me to have his likeness. He is the fountain, the motivation, and the pinnacle of love. I love because he does, first, last, and always.

We love because [God] first loved us.

1 John 4:19

From the pieces of my shattered life, He made me whole again more than once... Even when I thought all hope was lost.

"The substance of the commandments."

Some things are just not very complicated. Living for Jesus can be boiled down to two principles: love God with everything I am and have, and love others and treat them as I would like to be treated. Not too hard to understand. I guess it's living it that is the challenge!

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.

Matthew 22:37-39

"God the Son."

Love is a verb. We can't say it enough. Love must not only be spoken, but must also be shown. The beginning of love is God. He showed his love in the most sacrificial of ways so we could know our incredible value to him. The price of our adoption was the emptying of heaven of its greatest treasure, God the Son, who is our Savior.

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

1 John 4:9

"Talk is cheap."

You can tell me with your words, but I'll show it with my life. In a world where barter has replaced sacrificial and steadfast love, let's go against the grain and do the truth! Put your life where your mouth is. We know the slogans, now let's live love in truth.

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

1 John 3:18

"No doubt."

It is natural and human to doubt the Lord sometimes. He understands that. He knows what is best for us, even when it doesn't agree with what we want. Just don't give up. The Lord breaks through our desert spots, to comfort us when we cry. If we want results immediately, and we decide beforehand what we will accept as an answer and what we will not. Who says that we get to make the rules? It just doesn't work that way... Try not to doubt His ways during your trials.

O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

Psalm 22:2
