THE WORLD NEEDS LOVE

By Vernalee

As we look at our environment today, the world needs love; lots of love! There has been more rioting, more shootings, more killings. The disharmony and hatred are not what God intended for mankind. God created a world intended for an overflowing of love. The Bible defines love in I Corinthians 13:4-7 as -

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” Now that’s the kind of love that I’m talking about; that’s the kind of love that is needed!

When we give love and receive love based upon the scriptural definition, the world is a better place! We need love, abundant love at that. Let’s do our part. Let’s show love, respect, and kindness ...to “make the world a better place for you...for me...and the entire human race!“ Happy Sunday! Blessings!

GLORY

By Vernalee

“Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory" is a lyric by the abolitionist writer Julia Ward Howe that was written in November 1861. We often combine the word Glory with Hallelujah. Said together, Glory Hallelujah brings a peace; a calmness of spirit.

At all times, we must give glory to God. It is from him that all of our blessings flow. Psalm 115:1 tells us about glory. It reads -

“Not to us, O Lord, not to us,

But to Your name give glory

Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.”

Glory be to his name!

Glory Hallelujah!

Happy Sunday! Blessings!

THROUGH IT ALL

By Vernalee

No matter what we go through, the consolation is that we have The Lord. As the lyrics of this song say - “Through it all

I've learned to trust in Jesus

I've learned to trust in God.”

We can sometimes make our life harder, because we try to figure things out on our own. Proverbs 3:5-6 tell us -

“5Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

God is the key and the answer ... through it all! Happy Sunday! Blessings!
