Honor

We need to respect our friend's position.
Where they are at, and what they are capable of.
This is the Love Messiah Yeshua was referring to
when He spoke to His disciples.

Though He didn't say that directly,
Love equals respect, and to Love means
to honor where an individual is in their own 
relationship with their God.   

Self-righteousness is a Sin.   Sin is sin stated
in the bible.    Don't we each have enough issues
to bring to the Lord, that we should not be taking
another's inventory?  We are not God.

As the years go on, things of the spirit become
clearer, and more maturity sets in.  To Love is 
the goal of the Kingdom of Heaven.    If we could
accomplish this one thing, we are living epistles.

To Love is the encapsulation of God.  He is all 
merciful, compassionate, gracious, patient, and Good!  
To die to oneself, to put on the character of God is 
the greatest achievement we could have in this earthly life.

The Squeeze!

Pressures rising, with the picture of smoke coming out of my head!  
The squeeze is on, but it all must come up, to come out!  
God is faithful, and He is always there to answer and uphold.
He's simply waiting for His children to turn to Him, and hear His will.  Selah.

Resolution

Is there one?   How many years does one have to sift in attempts to resolve?
Where is the relief, and when does the healing and wholeness come?
How can we "let go" of so many questions, and heartache?  
When can we put it to bed?   When can we know that we will be restored?

No one wants to jump into the fire, nor reopen old wounds.
But are they "old'?   That's the problem, they still feel "new".  
The Only One who can heal devastated hearts is Abba himself, Daddy God.
He sure does have a way of keeping us close to Him in total dependency!  

Answers

The answer to good health and happiness is to be a giver!  
To be ready and available to lavish the Father's love onto His children.

When we make ourselves the center of our lives, it's very dangerous.
That pattern gets deeper and deeper, slipping into isolation.

This is not the plan of God, because it is a separation of man from God.
As God gave to us in giving us new life in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus).

"God so loved the world, that He GAVE His Only Begotten Son..."
If we follow Yeshua's example of giving, we shall indeed be filled with Joy!  

When we do things God's way, we shall never be disappointed.  
We must lay it all down, and take up the "giving" nature of Yeshua.

In Him, we can be truly satisfied.  As we join our spirit to His through 
worship, we come into a peace that is heavenly, and we are fulfilled.  Selah.

In the Air

When our feet come down to earth, and we realize there is no perfect person,
we may find ourselves growing into a maturity we've never known.  

This is truly a time of learning, and discovering the reality of things.
Perhaps this unrealistic expectation has been a smokescreen for fear.

Going deeper into the heart of Daddy God, and realizing His love is all
encompassing, flaws and all.    He loves us unconditionally, we must know.

When we surrender to Him, we can learn to do the same with others.
It is only through Him, that we can lavish this love to His children.

We are on equal footing, we are all lost without Him.   The longer I 
walk with Him, the more I realize how utterly dependent on Him I need to be.

He is my everything!   My hope, my Joy, my restoration, my healing, my 
wholeness, my deliverance, my happiness, and the Lover of my Soul!  

Better Place

It is in our giving, that the world becomes a better place!  

Through giving, our hearts are positioned to bless others.

As a result, our hearts are being healed from selfishness.

There is no reward for putting ourselves first.  It is always

a dead end.   It only brings us deeper and deeper into isolation.

Protecting what we think we have, and not wanting to loose it.  

"We love because He first loved us."  Yeshua (Jesus) is our 

example.   When we give, we are immediately rewarded in our hearts.

We are filled with God's love, each time we give.  This is His expression.

When will we realize, that all that we have belongs to Him?   

If we can hold things lightly, realizing He can remove and take away

anytime He likes.   We have simply be made stewards of these gifts. 

"It is in refreshing others that we are refreshed!"  When we give

the gift of love coming down from the Father, we are filled with 

inexpressible Joy, this is His language, and we are to be His expression!  

New Day

There comes a time in our lives
when we have to "step out on the edge"
and throw ourselves into LIFE!   

We cannot control our situations, 
or even the assets or defects of another.
Can we really love without conditions?

I am convinced that "covenant" must
be established, if we are going to love
with God's unending love.

No one wants to walk the road of the cross,
yet, this is truly where maturity comes.
Sacrificial love is the way of Calvary.

Standing with someone through the thick and
thin, is "covenant" love.    Are we prepared to do that?
"Let us examine our ways, and return to the Lord."
