Love is. . . Jesus

Jesus Never Ends

Aug 19, 2014 | Jared C. Wilson

Jesus is patient and kind; he is not envious or boastful; he’s not arrogant or rude. He did not insist on his own way but following his Father’s will, left the glory of heaven to empty himself and serve us and sacrifice himself for us.

Jesus isn’t irritable or resentful. And Jesus keeps no record of wrongs that he might rejoice over us in our sins and failings – for he has forgiven us all our trespasses, throwing our sins into the depths of the sea to remember them no more and has JUSTIFIED us. Jesus rejoices with the truth of his grace that declares us righteous; he delights in us and over us.

Therefore, in Jesus we can bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, endure all things.
Jesus never ends.

The Lord's Prayer

"This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, "Our Father." There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, "I will arise, and go unto my Father." This childlike spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father "in heaven" and ascends to devout adoration, "Hallowed by thy name." The child lisping, "Abba, Father," grows into the cherub crying, "Holy, Holy, Holy." ----Charles Spurgeon

My Sheep

I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD. (Eze 34:14-15 ESV) This has been our western view from our cottage this week in Scotland. The peak is Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the U.K.
