Love the Lord

Many times have i asked how to love the Lord forgiving my neighbour is hard enough; repentance's rule is all my lot but loving the Lord, is so, so tough. The Good Book says, "...with all our strength," what does that mean? i know not how; i asked and wondered as i slowly sank in darkness i groped as the stench went foul. Then this day as i washed the wok it came to me as a bright lighthouse; to love the Lord is to please the Lord so still i went, my soul a mouse. Yes! indeed, all please the Lord! that's loving Him, with all our strength; like a battleaxe that's subtly fought swing with might, out with a bang! So to those out there still in the dark loving Him means pleasing Him; "...in all you do!" the angels hark! never forget this, though the sun goes dim. Do your best to do what's right mystery's solved, now you know to love; with all your mind, when all is bright to please the Christ, the Man Above.

Amen! Glory to the Lord! yes, let's all pitch in and work the Lord's Harvest, for few are the labourers; the End is Nigh', but be not alarmed! keep prayers near thy heart, Greg, and thanks for your kind words! till then, God bless thee and thy loved ones too! cheers!

how many times have i asked the Lord, "please teach me how to love thee!" then this realisation came and my mind was BLOWN! now to God's Glory that i can preach this to the lost and loved ones in His Kingdom. Amen! indeed God grants us the things that will ultimately please Him and thus glorify Him. Till then, stay safe and God bless!
