LOVE 2020: IT IS WHO HE IS

Good Morning!

I pray your week has gone well

And I hope you are ready to enjoy a relaxing weekend –

And, while I am getting a late start on writing this post,

It is not because I arose late 

I have actually been up all night – I am not certain why

I believe my mind is full –

I have been thinking about what I would like to write,

And, I have been thinking about all that has already transpired in 2020

Nationally and around the globe, we have had multiple devastating events:

§  Downed Aircrafts – Military & Civilian

§  Missile Strikes – Injuring Our Service Members

§  Earthquakes

§  Multi-Vehicle Accidents

§  Helicopter Crashes

§  Tornados

§  Coronavirus Outbreak & Deadly Regular Flu Season

§  And that is just to name a few

2020 in the first thirty-one days has been filled with challenges

And it can be a bit overwhelming &discouraging

Indeed, I find myself praying more than I have in recent months

Even so, I am trying to keep my eyes focused on the positive;

I am trying to fix my gaze on the One who knows all things

It is not easy - trust me!

I find myself having to go back to Scripture & Prayer repeatedly throughout the day

There is so much I do not understand about suffering

YET – 

I know and understand this ... 

I understand that the LORD is Sovereign

I know that He is worthy of my trust;

And – even when I face, witness and hear about bad situations;

HE IS STILL A GOOD GOD

LOVE IS WHAT HE IS

§  He has good plans, to prosper and not to harm [Jer. 29:11]

§  He seeks opportunities to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are loyal to Him [II Chr. 16:9]

§  He is ever-present … no matter where I may find myself [Ps. 139:8]

§  He is full of love for His creation [John 3:16]

§  HE IS LOVE … [I John 4:8]

AND NOW – we are entering one of my two favorite times of year

We are at the beginning of the lead up to Valentine’s Day

It is a season all about LOVE

AND – for the next fourteen days [or longer],

I choose to be intentional about focusing on the good

I will seek it out in every situation and circumstance

I will fix my mind on the things which are lovely – as instructed in the Word of God

Why don't you join me on this journey?

I would be so glad if you would.

I pray you have a peaceful and love-filled weekend.

God Bless & Much Love

Have a Great Day!

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,

whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable

--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—

think about such things.”

Philippians 4:8
