~~~How do I LOVE? ~~~

In my quest to keeping it real today

I forgot to stop first thing

 to take time with my

LORD.

But guess what, He was still waiting for me

when I decided to stop and come.

And today I'd like to share just what he

had on HIS mind to share with me.

I am still reading Psalms.

(on my i-pad, luv!!!)

Psalms 7: 9b, 10, 11, 12 (NIV)

For you look deep within the mind and heart,

O righteous God.

God is my shield,

saving those whose hearts are true and right.

God is an honest judge.

He is angry with the wicked every day.

If a person does not repent,

God will sharpen his sword;

Now you might ask,

How do I love...

what does that have to do

with this passage.

Let me share with you...

Do you have those people in your life

that are just plain hard to like or love?

who have messed their lives up?

they don't live as GOD would have them?

or have you been hurt

 or has someone

you love been hurt by another?

God asked me do I LOVE the unlovely in my life?

Hmmm...many times I must admit a

big fat NO.  I'd rather run in the

opposite direction than to have to deal

with an unpleasant person or situation

that *I* don't approve of.

Sound familiar?

If God  looks deep into my heart and sees

this unwillingness to love in me...it is sin.

God loves the unlovely and

HE

wants me to so as well.

Doesnt mean it will be easy...just love.

Leave the rest to Him. 

He always has a better way

of dealing with anyone than we ever would.

Love!

Be Blessed,

Lorena
