Where is the love?

I'm often amazed when love is proclaimed but not seen. I can only summarize, that love isn't. I say that because when love is present, it is always tangible. Love can't be hidden. Love it seen, felt, heard and tasted. Sometimes love even leaves an aroma. When you are in the presence of love, you know!

There is help

     Yesterday,  I learned a famous singer died of an overdose, and today I learned a 15 year old kid committed suicide.  My heart weeps  because  two more souls were lost. It's sad to see anyone depend on drugs to find joy when, 'in the presence of the Lord there is the fullness of joy, and at his right hand there are pleasures for evermore.' There is no permanent joy in drugs.
     Yes, drugs produce a temporary sense of euphoria. For a few hours, you can feel like everything is great when in reality it isn't. You see, drugs will fool you, and you will fall in love with them but they will never fall in love with you. So, if your life is a mess, forget drugs and turn to Jesus. Jesus is the only one who can fix the madness in your life and bring peace where there is chaos.
     Don't die a tragic death. Don't allow drugs to kill you. Life is precious. Life was given to you to carry out God's purpose on the earth. We are given life to change our world for the better and bring glory to God.
    So if you find yourself uneasy, stress, unsure, insure or just lost,  remember that there is help for you. You don't have to do dope to cope, or commit suicide to bring an end to the temporary troubles in your life. There is hope and help for you.. through Jesus the Christ. There are hundreds/thousands of ambassadors for Christ who love you, and are waiting to extend the love of Christ to you but you must reach out.
     I am here to testify that there is help so you can hope. Put your hope in Jesus the Christ, the Savior or all saviors. He will not disappoint you because he loves you. He loved you before you became mortal.  THERE IS HELP!

The mystery of love

     I remember the first time I said I love you. It wasn't to my parents or my best friend at the time, but it was to God. I remember saying, "I love you Lord, and making promises to serve him until the day I die. Back then I was just saying what I was told to say what my tongue confessed came to pass.
     It is written that 'death and life is in the power of the tongue.' What we speak will come to pass and I have seen much of what I have spoken come to pass, including my love for the Lord. I love the Lord and I really want to be faithful in my love towards him, so I pray, I study the word and I praise.
    I finally understand that love though mysterious is tangible and sweet. Love is unlike any fruit I have ever tasted, any wine I have ever drank, any thing I have ever encountered before. Love fills me up and refreshes me. It makes me feel valued and alive. Oh the power, and the mystery of love! So I love but at the same time, I am being loved!

Love produces worship

            What I have learned is that it is impossible to love without worship. Love produces worship. As long as you love you will worship, therefore it is essential that we love right. So I'm in love and yes, I love all but I love the Lord with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. I am really in love with the creator. I love everything about God. I love that he is almighty, all-powerful, all-knowing, merciful, immutable, great, good and loving. He loves me regardless of how I look, my age and all the other stuff. However, his love for me does not override his call for righteousness. So in loving him I am propelled to live holy because he is holy.

              It is funny how love will cause you to do things you never thought you'd do. I love, so therefore I worship. Without love, there is no worship.

I LOVE JESUS

#5 I LOVE JESUS

Some say I'm crazy because I love Jesus
They think I'm a fanatic because I live his word
Call me crazy, call me fanatic
All I can say is that Jesus is fantastic.
Supercalafradralisticespialadosus
Excellent, immutable and precious
Jesus is my hero, my savior and my deliverer,
My Lord, my refuge and my strong tower
He's the one that sticks closer to me than a brother
He is the one that loves me like none other.
I love Jesus and I want you to know
I love him with all my mind, body and soul.
I will serve him until the day I die
I love Jesus, yes, that's right
Jesus is my life.

My Testimony

       I like to say that I am a lover of life but I love life because I am fully devoted to living it life for the Lord. It was not always like that. Like many, I grew up in church but felt like I was missing out on what the world had to offer. The folks that were in the world appeared to be having such a good time, and I wanted to experience what they were and I did for a time. However, I was most miserable. You see, Jesus was already imprinted in my DNA, so it was impossible for me to love the things of the world or to enjoy them. It didn't take me too long to rededicate my life the the Lord.
      Excited that I had come to my senses, I share the news of my rededication with the numerous friends. It was as if I had developed leprosy. In less than 3 months, most of those folks disappeared but that was good because we served a different god. The bible asks,"How can two walk together unless they agree?" That is a true statement.
        Now I am 100% sold out to Jesus. I believe that the Holy Bible is the word of God. I believe that God is my source, my Heavenly Father, my all. I shall not want because he is my shepherd. No one cannot convince me that the Almighty God does not exist. I know that he does. I also know that he gives his best and he commands my best, and I live daily to honor, praise and glorify his name. Like Paul I say, "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ." I love the Lord with all my heart, soul, mind and strength, and over the years he has proven himself to be real in my life.

Hallelujah!

I am love

 #4   I am love

I am sweet and beautiful,
Gentle and tangible,
Honest and trusting,
Friendly and giving,
I am strong and free,
I am your destiny,
I am unmistakeable,
I am love.

#3 Love Found

Once I was searching, I was looking for love
Wasn't sure what it looked like but I searched anyhow
I looked all around hoping to find
Love somewhere because it wasn't mine.

Or so I thought, you see I didn't know love
I thought it was passion, sex and romance
I thought that love was gotten only by chance
So I searched and searched and do you know what I found?
I found out that love was in me all the time.

Love is imprinted in my DNA
Love birthed me and keeps me alive everyday
Love nurtures me and keeps me from harm 
It cuddles me and keeps me warm.

I went looking for love but I found me
And in me I found love, yea-paddy!
Mystery solved, love has been found
Now I've got love to pass around.

You say you love me

#2              You say you love me

You say you love me but that can't be true
Cause love don't do the things you do
Love won't use me and bring me shame
Love won't scandalize my name
Love won't cheat and tell me lies
Love won't judge me and make me cry
Love won't cause me sorrow and pain
You don't love me, you're insane.

You say you love me more than anything
You say I'm the one in your dreams
You say I'm all you think about
But that's not love, is it now?
Love is gentle, humble and kind
Love brings peace to a trouble mind
Love cherishes and suffers long
Love's eternal and it is strong.

You say you love me but that's not true
Not when you do the things you do!
