In Human Beings, Love Is A Quality,

To Ignore, Repress, Or Dismiss Our Feelings Is To Fail To Listen To The Stirrings Of The Spirit Within Our Emotional Life. Jesus Listened. In John's Gospel We Are Told That Jesus Was Moved With The Deepest Emotions (11:33)... The Gospel Portrait Of The Beloved Child Of Abba Is That Of A Man Exquisitely Attuned To His Emotions And Uninhibited In Expressing Them. The Son Of Man Did Not Scorn Of Reject Feelings As Fickle And Unreliable. They Were Sensitive Antennae To Which He Listened Carefully And Through Which He Perceived The Will Of His Father For Congruent Speech And Action.

You Will Trust God To The Degree You Know You Are Loved By Him.

The Ragamuffin Rabble Are The Unsung Assembly Of Saved Sinners Who Are Little In Their Own Sight, Conscious Of Their Brokenness And Powerlessness Before God, And Who Cast Themselves On His Mercy. Startled By The Extravagant Love Of God, They Do Not Require Success, Fame, Wealth, Or Power To Validate Their Worth. Their Spirit Transcends All Distinctions Between The Powerful And Powerless, Educated And Illiterate, Billionaires And Bag Ladies, High-tech Geeks And Low-tech Nerds, Males And Females, The Circus And The Sanctuary.

Faith Will Become Vision, Hope Will Become Possession, But The Love Of Jesus Christ That Is Stronger Than Death Endures Forever. In The End, It Is The Only Thing You Can Hang Onto.

In Love's Service, Only Wounded Soldiers Can Serve.
