Its a Love Festivaaaaaaal!

... reading the Bible today in 1 John 4 and 5...and in Luke 8.

Seeing God Through Love in chapter 4

 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.  By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

...and in Ch 5:

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. 4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our[a] faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

Read Luke 8... We see the Teacher...and How he taught in the Rabbinical style and fashion ...yet in the divine...speaking to our hearts ...now   right now...living words the Holy Spirit reminds and we hear...the Message...Jesus has a great combination of teaching and doing. Sometimes we need knowledge, other times we need action, sometimes we need both!
and I see three "reminders" from the Holy Spirit...
-God's word is a seed. Your heart is the soil. The seed can die in there or it can produce an amazing harvest!
-Storms will come but you are designed to make it through. Jesus is with you, don't fear, don't lose your faith! Bail water and rebuke the wind.
-When Satan is crushing your life Jesus will cast him out and give you back your peace and your sanity.
-If we just reach out and touch Jesus with our faith we will be healed and life will be restored.
Joy to the world and peace on earth ... our Savior is here!


Joyous anticipatory Christmas Eve Eve!  
Rock and Roll!  Jesus is the Rock...and we Roll!
