| Love is mentioned well over 350 times in
| |
| | be thinking I have gone too far...I don't
|
| the Bible. I'm sure God must be trying to
| |
| | know what I'm talking about. Yes, I do. I
|
| tell us something. We will start our
| |
| | know because the Word tells me so.In I
|
| study with Matthew 22:37-38; And He
| |
| | John 2:15 it says, Do not love or cherish
|
| replied to him, You shall love the Lord
| |
| | the world or the things that are in the
|
| your God with all your heart and with all
| |
| | world. if anyone loves the world, love
|
| your soul and with all your mind. This is
| |
| | for the Father is not in him. For all
|
| the most important and first
| |
| | that is in the world - the lust of the
|
| commandment.I am sure that we have all
| |
| | flesh and the lust of the eyes and the
|
| heard this verse many times in our
| |
| | pride of life or stability of earthly
|
| Christian lives. But, do we really get
| |
| | things - these do not come from the
|
| it? How do we love God? Why should we
| |
| | Father, but are from the world itself.
|
| love God? Let's explore How to love God
| |
| | And the world passes away and disappears,
|
| today, and tomorrow we'll get into
| |
| | and with it the forbidden cravings of it;
|
| why.How Do We Love Him?It is very simply
| |
| | but he who does the will of God and
|
| stated by Jesus in John 14:15, If you
| |
| | carries out His purposes in his life
|
| really love me, you will keep (obey) my
| |
| | abides forever.Why Should We Love Him?I'm
|
| commands. As simple as it sounds....it
| |
| | sure this would seem like an obvious
|
| seems to be a very difficult task....or
| |
| | answer. Yet, I think it is important that
|
| is it? Well, yes and no. If we study the
| |
| | we really understand the depth of the
|
| Word, get it into our hearts and minds;
| |
| | answer. Why do we or why should we love
|
| it is easier to submit to the Holy
| |
| | God? Well, there are more answers to this
|
| Spirit...However, when we fill our minds
| |
| | question then could be answered in a
|
| with the world, i.e.,Soap Operas - which
| |
| | lifetime. But, I will give the best
|
| encourage adultery, lust, impurity,
| |
| | answer I can...- HE IS INCOMPARABLE.
|
| fornication, lies, deceit, and many other
| |
| | THERE IS NONE LIKE HIM : II Samuel 7:22
|
| sinful desires.I struggled with these for
| |
| | says; Therefore You are great, O Lord
|
| years. I didn't just watch one...not even
| |
| | God; for none is like You, nor is there
|
| just one channel. I would watch one
| |
| | any God besides You... No other religion
|
| channel and tape another. I was watching
| |
| | has a God like ours. HE IS!- HIS WAYS ARE
|
| six different daytime dramas and several
| |
| | PERFECT. HE IS PERFECT: Psalm 18:30
|
| evening ones. I eventually cut back and
| |
| | says; As for God, His way is perfect!- HE
|
| convinced myself that was good enough.
| |
| | IS OUR ROCK AND SHIELD: Psalm 18:30-31
|
| But, no, God wanted me to lay them all
| |
| | says; ...He is a shield to all those who
|
| down. My mind had become so absorbed with
| |
| | take refuge and put their trust in Him.
|
| this unrealistic, ungodly world. I didn't
| |
| | For who is God except the Lord? Or who is
|
| want to let go. Of course I eventually
| |
| | the Rock save our God? It says it right
|
| did...not without a fight though. The
| |
| | there...if we will take refuge...He will
|
| enemy was on full attack mode when I
| |
| | shield us. How many of us actually take
|
| decided to submit to the Lord (obey His
| |
| | refuge in Him?- HE IS THE CREATOR OF ALL
|
| commands). I kid you not my TV would just
| |
| | THINGS: This is covered in Genesis 1.
|
| turn on at the precise moment, my VCR
| |
| | Isaiah 40:12, 22 & 26 as well as
|
| would start taping when I didn't set it
| |
| | countless other verses. What other God
|
| to, and the grocery store checkout...It
| |
| | created the Universe?- HE IS EVERLASTING:
|
| was ugly. I didn't give up...and now I am
| |
| | Habakkuk 3:6 says; He stood and measured
|
| FREE!Entertainment Magazines - which are
| |
| | the earth; He looked and shook the
|
| filled with gossip, wrong information,
| |
| | nations, and the eternal mountains were
|
| slander, hurtful situations in human
| |
| | scattered and the perpetual hills bowed
|
| lives, and really none of our business
| |
| | low. His ways are everlasting and His
|
| anyway. These were another stronghold in
| |
| | goings are of old.- HE IS JUST, TRUE,
|
| my life. My favorite was In Touch...or
| |
| | MIGHTY AND SOVEREIGN: Revelation 15:3
|
| like my husband used to call it, "in
| |
| | says; ...Mighty and marvelous are Your
|
| touch with the devil." LOL. Let me tell
| |
| | works, O Lord God the Omnipotent! Just
|
| you, I loved these things. I had to know
| |
| | and true are Your ways, O Sovereign of
|
| who was cheating on whom, and what this
| |
| | the ages. Sing that for a while and
|
| one said about that one....I'm sure there
| |
| | you'll feel His presence all around you.-
|
| are some of you who know exactly what I
| |
| | HE IS MY STRENGTH AND MY SONG: When I am
|
| am talking about.Guess what? God wanted

|
| these put down too. My flesh fought hard.
| |

|
| Honestly, I still have to catch myself.
| |
| | my Strength and my Song....Keep reading
|
| Those grocery store checkout lines are
| |
| | that chapter alone for many reasons to
|
| filled with them...I try hard not to even
| |
| | love Him.- HE LOVED US FIRST: I John 4:19
|
| look at them. I am happy to say that I no
| |
| | says; We love Him, because He first loved
|
| longer buy them...or even touch
| |
| | us.- HE IS OMNIPOTENT (ALL-POWERFUL):
|
| them.Secular music - which is mostly
| |
| | Jeremiah 32:17 says; Alas, Lord God!
|
| provocative lyrics, self, and worldly
| |
| | Behold, You have made the heavens and the
|
| principals.Don't get me wrong. I'm not
| |
| | earth by your great power and by Your
|
| saying that every non-Christian song is
| |
| | outstretched arm! There is nothing too
|
| sinful. I'm saying be careful what goes
| |
| | hard for you.- HE IS OMNIPRESENT

|
| Galatians 6:7 that we reap what we sow.
| |
| | is always here...He is always there. You

| | hearts), and He knows and understands
|
| ones many Christian women face. You may
