My Blog For This Day

The good Samaritan was written for us who SAY, ‘they love the Lord’- without people, like ourselves, where would compassion be- we all need love and acceptance. Be people who love till it hurts. Don't carry stones in your pockets- instead feel them under your feet as you walk humbly and gently towards those He died for. Be Christ to all -In the name of Jesus our Savior for it was He who washed our feet even our whole bodies with His precious blood; let us respect all life, even our own - for all life was bought with such a high price. Be thankful everyday! : ) It was the Joy that kept Him going forward to the CROSS and Joy unspeakable He received on the other side of it! Love no matter, what- yes this is hard- but- so is dying on a cross- and we are called to carry ours daily! Let us who call ourselves Christian-Be an example in word and deed. © Brenda V Northeast 2012

Brenda, you have brought tears to my eyes. Well said. When I think of what our Savior did for us, how He suffered, I feel so unworthy of His love. We can only strive to live the best we can in our imperfect lives. I strive to love everyday and always fail miserably. Then get up the next day and try again. Thank you for sharing. You are setting an example by your words. Some would say it is only words but it takes action to post it and stand by it. God bless you, Rhonda

Thank you Rhonda :) Yes His love is so perfect and so encompassing-I don't think we can ever think of ourselves as worthy but more so Grateful and to accept His love and live His love through us to others This is what God's gift of love to us, is all about- its all about Him the perfect one, love in Him, And He shall wipe all tears from our eyes.

Thank you Jon- dying to self and living for Christ and by Christ is the only way to do it. Only He knows the way and has the strength we always need. Ours is submission. Romans 12: 1 love in Christ, Brenda : )
