Never underestimate the power of a seed. Give love and operate in God’s wisdom and miracles will happen. Every gift of kindness is a seed.
Read: James 3:17-18
But the wisdom that comes from God is first of all pure, then peaceful, gentle, and easy to please. This wisdom is always ready to help those who are troubled and to do good for others. It is always fair and honest. 18 People who work for peace in a peaceful way plant a good crop of right-living.
Even when you don’t believe God, you can ask Him to help you with that. What great love!
Read: Mark 9:23-25
“What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.”
24 The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!”
25 When Jesus saw that the crowd of onlookers was growing, he rebuked the evil spirit. “Listen, you spirit that makes this boy unable to hear and speak,” he said. “I command you to come out of this child and never enter him again!”
I love my dogs. Going through the loss of a pet is never easy, and while nothing can replace one that you’ve lost, having other pets around sure does help lessen the hurt. Blessing is forever in my heart. She was a true joy in my life.
Peace joined our family when she was just 6 weeks old, and she has brought me such happiness! She is all about playtime. It’s been fun to watch her breathe youthful, new life into her older sister, Victory, too. All of my dogs’ names came to me in my spirit. Blessing, well, she was a blessing to me; Peace came to me during a time when I needed peace; and Victory came to me because of her tough, regal personality – but she’s still my teddy bear!
My Rottweiler “teddy bears,” as I call them, are true pack animals; they are warm and so loving. The best thing about owning Rottweilers is their loyalty to you; they just want to be with you and make you smile.
Next year we plan to let Peace have one litter of puppies. I’ve never had a litter with any of my dogs before, so I’m so excited to see how this new adventure will unfold.
It doesn’t matter if you like someone or not. Our responsibility is to Love.
Read: Matthews 22:37-39
37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
The one and only assurance we have that we’re going to heaven is to receive John 3:16 in your heart.
Read: John 3:16
16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
Love your neighbors even if they are different from you. Walk in love towards everyone.
Read: Romans 13:8
8 Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law.
Criticism leads you nowhere. Judging another gets you nowhere. Leave all of that to God.
Read: Romans 14:1-4
1 Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong. 2 For instance, one person believes it’s all right to eat anything. But another believer with a sensitive conscience will eat only vegetables. 3 Those who feel free to eat anything must not look down on those who don’t. And those who don’t eat certain foods must not condemn those who do, for God has accepted them. 4 Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive his approval.
Being rude is not lovely.
Being selfish defeats one’s self and stops love’s flow.
Read: I Corinthians 13: 4-5
4 Love is patient and kind.
Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude.
It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable,
and it keeps no record of being wronged.
You don’t have to wonder about the plans God has for you. It’s all good!
Read: Jeremiah 29:11
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD.
“They are plans for good and not for disaster,
to give you a future and a hope.
Sometimes walking in love requires eliminating some people from your life, even when you love them.
Read Psalms 36:1-3
1 Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts.
They have no fear of God at all.
2 In their blind conceit,
they cannot see how wicked they really are.
3 Everything they say is crooked and deceitful.
They refuse to act wisely or do good.
