Ezra 8-10

Read now at www.bible.com or with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post.

WHERE IS THE LOVE?

There are tons of verses about love in the Bible, and it's even stated that love is greater than faith and hope. But sadly, the world tries to fight against our need for love, and makes it REALLY hard to be loving towards people.

I short message that we could focus on in today's reading is simply to LOVE others. No matter what they've done, or continue to do... no one is perfect. If God loves US eternally, you'd think we should do the same, right?

We really should. A really cool verse that was written in today's reading was this:

Ezra 9:13

What happened to us is a result of our evil deeds and our great guilt, and yet, our God, you have punished us less than our sins have deserved.

It kind of shows that yeah, we sin, and God still loves us. So GUESS WHAT? We need to forgive all the sinners in this life, all the people who just plain get on our nerves. Love is everlasting, and should be shared with all.

You never know who may need it.

Peace out.

It is hard to believe that God loves the people who do bad things, but He does. We need to remember His love is for everyone.

The World that We Live In- A Prayer

Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of The Killers, included a beautiful lyric in one of his songs, "The World that We Live In." This is the world that we live in, and I feel myself get tired. Boy, is this ever true. I just started a new job this summer, which is so exciting, but in all of that excitement I have been so busy adjusting to working life that I really haven't had time to poke my head out and look up at the world around me.  In some respects, that's a good thing. I have been able to temporarily shield myself from state of our nation and the hurtful rhetoric being used against the least of these. However, when I do have time, or if there is something that is just too big to ignore, it hits me like a train. I am suddenly, instantly aware of just how broken our world is, and how deeply we need our Lord Jesus to come. Maranatha . And, when I get overwhelmed… When my thoughts are too vast and too incomprehensible and I have a hard time sleeping at night,

Song of Songs 5-8 CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE. Yes, I'm quoting Elvis. Believe it or not... even though he died of a drug overdose and had really weird dance moves, his song title applies quite nicely to today's reading. If you haven't already, read these four chapters with the BIBLE READER to the left of this post or at http://www.bible.com/ . Okay, so let me explain myself. First off... one of my FAVORITE VERSES OF ALL TIME was in today's reading: Song of Songs 8:4 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. We all have those days when we feel like throwing in the towel, or just lying under the covers and crying our eyes out. What... I'm the only one? Oh, well this is embarrassing. Regardless, when I have these types of days, I do the good little girl thing and open my Bible. At first, I just did it because it was the only thing I knew to do. But it was amazing when I did, because the verse I read was PERFECT for what

1st Chronicles 25-26 WHAT ARE YOU IN CHARGE OF ? For some, it's way too much. For others, there's nothing they are responsible for. Although having too much to do can be dangerous, it's also bad to do nothing. The people in today's reading, even though they were only mentioned by their name-- had many responsibilities. Some were in charge of people, or the King. It's good to have responsibilities, but do you balance yours? If you live your life without responsibility (you know who you are :~) ) there might be a day where you HAVE to take responsibility of something, and what happens then? What happens when you are forced to be in charge of something, and you haven't been in charge of something ever? What happens when you have to be in charge of something and you're so busy there's no way you can? It's all about balance . If the chick in the above picture would learn to balance stuff, then she'd have it better off. Now, I'm not talking to lite
