Love the LORD and your neighbor! Luke 14:13
Jesus gave His Life for us! When I see this, I think, 'Thank Him for, He died for us!' And He did die for us! Through simple, child-like faith in Jesus, there is no longer any sin or separation between us and God! He offers us a right relationship with Him and others! Hallelujah! But Jesus also gave His
Life for us! Check out these verses! The first one we know quite well! "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him" (John 3:16-17). And also, here is this verse! "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). So, God gave His Son, Jesus, who is Life! Every day Jesus lived, He has lived in Love, and He gave that for us! And this was not just on this earth, it was from all eternity! Jesus is always with God! "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. . . . The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:1-2, 14). God really loves us! Let's hope in Him! "And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us" (Romans 5:5).
God is so good! God is love! "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them" (1 John 4:16). Let's share in His love! This summer, God is really leading to have Jesus picnics! Wherever you are, you can have picnics in your neighborhood and invite everyone! (Luke 14:13) Let's invite our friends, loved ones, people who we would like to be our friends, and everyone. For, everyone should hear that God loves them! He alone can fill our real hunger! He is the Bread of Life! "Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty" (John 6:35). He loves you! Let's feast on His real love! He is leading me to have picnics in a nearby park, and to have a time of prayer and worship, and some teaching! It may look a bit different for you, but let's all hang out with our neighborhood this summer in Christ's love! He is alive! He is our Life! Hallelujah!
