Love God and Love People

This is the month that the world celebrates LOVE, welcome to February. Although Valentines Day is one of my favorite holidays and I too enjoy all the LOVE and hearts everywhere, I still anchor my life in my calling; 

"Love God and Love People". 

 As I read scripture on LOVE which by the way there are (687) verses on LOVE in the Bible, I find what Jesus said in Matthew 22:36-39 ESV to be ALL of our life callings and something we must all with God's help work on. 

36) "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37) And he said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38) This is the great and first commandment. 39) And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 

My prayer for you today is that you would really seek God and ask Him how to LOVE Him and others. Its really important to introspect in this area, since life truly is just about Loving God and Loving People, it will be the only thing that will matter in the end.

1 John 4:16 ESV

So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

And finally; 

1 Corinthians 13:13 ESV

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three, but the greatest is LOVE.

Much LOVE to you through Christ Our Lord,

*Speak Life*

Proverbs 18:21 (ESV) 

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.

This is a simple, yet very powerful word (s) for you today..

*Speak Life*

Solomon, the King of Israel & the wisest man that EVER lived writes these words in Proverbs, actually he wrote the whole Book of Proverbs & warns us about the power of the tongue.  Today I urge you to choose your words wisely, you are either speaking death or life over yourself. 

In the Spring of 2012--I had this moment with God that made me reflect on how I was using my words. I realized that although I would say life type of words for most "positive" situations, (anyone can do that) yet I was most always using death words in negative situations. I had an awe moment that I can "choose" to look for the positive (a life word) in my negative or not so pleasant situations. This might sound so elementary and you would be right in thinking so...yet it is extremely powerful, uplifting and scripture. Today I have made a lifestyle out of looking always for the positive (a life word) instead of a negative (a death word) in not only the great things that happen in my life but in also the not so great things.

You have a choice.

Speak Negative words over your life.

Speak Positive words over your life.

You have a choice.

My circumstances (good or bad) will not determine how I choose to speak my words, they will always "Speak Life". I pray today you will choose your words carefully and know that you too have a choice. 

In closing know that you are so very much loved by God and He wants what is good for you. He wants to see you well and prosper in all things. 

Please heed this warning in James 3:6 (ESV) it says; The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life of fire, and it itself set on fire by hell. 

Pray right now that God will help you say and look for a positive out of every circumstance in your life. 

God wants life for you and good...
