you listen,
not only because he speaks so softly
but because his words are packed with such meaning.
He will listen to my one million words,
and then respond with three words that sum up what I was
trying to say.
During a recent conversation,
he summed up my words into 7 words~
"GIVE ME A CHANCE TO LOVE YOU!"
Words that provide an open the door to relationships,
that have been closed.
Words that you don't have to say,
but you do,
for
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.
Every opportunity is an open door
that
GIVES you a CHANCE to LOVE the someone else
who GOD places in your path.
Isn't that what JESUS does
with HIS OPEN arms~
“COME TO ME, all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest"
(Matthew 11:28).
GIVE ME A CHANCE TO LOVE YOU!
And HE says it again,
"Take courage, it is I. Do not be afraid"
(Matthew 14:27)
GIVE ME A CHANCE TO LOVE YOU!
And JESUS never stops saying those words,
as they were HIS closing words on the cross,
where an ACTION spoke volumes~
"“FATHER, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing"
(Luke 23:34).
GIVE ME A CHANCE TO LOVE YOU!
“If anyone wishes to follow ME [as MY disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow ME [believing in ME, conforming to MY example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in ME]"
(Matthew 16:24 AMP).
GIVE ME A CHANCE TO LOVE YOU!
Have you given JESUS a CHANCE to LOVE YOU,
so you can pass HIS LOVE to whomever GOD places in your path,
with
HIS LOVE that LOVES like no other~
"Love never gives up.Love cares more for others than for self.Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.Love doesn’t strut,Doesn’t have a swelled head,Doesn’t force itself on others,Isn’t always “me first,”Doesn’t fly off the handle,Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,Doesn’t revel when others grovel,Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,Puts up with anything,Trusts God always,Always looks for the best,Never looks back,But keeps going to the end"
(I Corinthians 13:4:8 MSG).
Is there a someone in your life who
GOD is
GIVING you a CHANCE to LOVE with HIS LOVE,
whether you get the opportunity to
see them in person,
or whether you don't get to see them in person
yet get the
CHANCE TO LOVE THEM
from afar
with
FORGIVENESS that opens the door to LOVE.
Or is the someone you,
who needs to give
JESUS a
CHANCE TO LOVE YOU.
Oh look up
and
let HIM LOVE YOU first,
so that you will
pass along the
LOVE
that
was birthed on
THE CROSS
with
the invitation of
the OPEN ARMS of JESUS
who
GIVES ALL A CHANCE TO BE LOVED FOREVER.
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!
Oh the
"POWER OF THE CROSS"~
And on that cross,
HIS love held true.
Through sacrifice,
the old made new .
This life I live,
I live in faith.
Now in JESUS name"
