LIGHTS,CAMERAS,ACTION

 

Bobby Burnette of Love-A-Child has a saying that says it. Love is not just something that you say. Love is something that you do. While we all know that in principle, we often find it hard to put into practice. Consider the following illustrative short story.

 

 

A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman.

"I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."  

I hope to in some way impart what I have found. That is, of course, it must be the love of God within that causes our light to shine so as to draw others to its glow. One of our staff once asked me how I could have given up, what to him seemed to be so much, in answering my call. I could only answer how could I not, seeing how much God through Jesus had done for me. Now I had not always felt that way. It seems for me I have always learned the hard way through the things I suffered. When I finally saw my own need for unconditional Love and fully turned to Him, I began to know Him. In that I have learned that my Father would not only like but also requires me to put that Love into action.  I am not only to be loved, but I must also choose to Love, not only Him, but through Him my fellow man as well.

 

 

John 15:17  These things I command you, that ye love one another.

 

Matthew 22:37-40   Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

 

Brotherly Love: Most Precious Possession

An incident is told about two soldiers who had recently been released from a prison camp in Siberia following World War II. "We did our best," said an officer, "to repatriate the men as fast as possible, but many were still there when winter threatened to close up the port." Only a limited number could board the last small boat. Among those waiting to be transported were two who had been chums all through the war. One of them was selected, but the other seemed doomed to remain behind. An order was given that those who were leaving could take only one important item of luggage. The heart of the man who was chosen went out to his buddy, so he emptied his duffel bag of its prized souvenirs and his personal belongings and told his companion to get into the canvas sack. Then carefully lifting the bag on his shoulders, he boarded the ship with his friend as his single, most precious possession. This man truly loved his neighbor as himself.

 

I found out that until I learned to Love as He commands, I could not have life. It has been a fantastic gift to experience the abundant life that Jesus said He came to provide me. I have found that through obedience to His Word my heart is being transformed from just a state of willingness, all the way to really enjoying His commandments. There is a saying in the world that he who finishes with the most toys wins. I am beginning to recognize that it is He that finishes with the least, having giving all that he had in the Love of Christ. That man has won the biggest prize of all. To be like Jesus. Please consider the following scriptures in closing and remember Love is something that you Do!

 

1 John 3:14  We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

 

1 John 2:3  And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

 

John 13:35  By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

 

1 John 2:10-11  He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.  But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

 

“You cannot do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon it will be too late.”  

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The past 9 years of my life I have thrown down the drain. I came to Jesus Is! With hope, hope that I would clean my act up! I’m leaving with the relationship I never knew I could have! This place has taught me so much. For the first time in my life I’m clean. I have peace in my heart. I have a great relationship with my family and best of all I found my father and I know all he has done for me and how much he loves me! To anyone who has lost hope, continues to abuse drugs or alcohol, has broken any relationships with  family members or does not know who there father is and what he has done and continues to do COME TO JESUS IS!. They care; the Adams family with “his” help will do everything in their power to fix all these things for you like they have done for me and countless others.

I am very excited to tell everyone in the whole world what God has done for me. I came back (after 13 years) to Jesus Is! in April 2010. My life slowly was deteriorating and I knew I had to get “God” back in first place and first priority in my life. I rode for 3 days on a greyhound bus from Chicago to get here because I knew this place would give me the love and healing and deliverance my heart, my body and soul needed to survive any longer. Even my 2 teenager daughters, as they cried and waved good bye knew it was the only option. Since being back, God has healed and restored my life, my heart that was so full of bitterness and rage and my mind that couldn’t focus on one positive thing any more, has now been changed and I am delivered from all that baggage and bondage that was eating me alive. I have hope for the first time in a long time. I feel so happy, relieved, revived and complete and I’m truly delivered and excited for all God has for me and my daughters in the future. Thank you Jesus and Thank you Jesus Is!
