The
world places conditions on love for us
Especially
wealth, looks, good business, success etc. The world then says prove to the
world that you are worth being loved. So first, this world sets the standard
for love; secondly we have to prove ourselves worthy in the world’s eyes – how
sad!
We use people
and love things instead of loving people and using things.
God
does not shield us from the effects of sin. Have you ever felt that nobody
cares about me? Heavenly Father loves me.
Repentance =
change of mind and will. Repentance brings about a decision and then we
need to act on it. Prodigal means = extravagant, lavish, unrestrained,
compassion, unconditional love for his son. Acts 27:27.
Jeremiah 29:13 –
Seek and you will find me. You will seek
me and find me when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you
said the Lord, and I will bring you back out of captivity.
Greatest
challenge in our life
– receive God’s forgiveness of our sins.
Comparison is
the seed of the devil.
When we compare people’s traits, we
diminish the person. Our father in heaven does not compare one person
to another, one trait to another. Each of us is unique and different, loved by
our Heavenly Father.
The Blessing is
in the work, not in the reward.
I am the way, the truth and the
Light and nobody comes to the Father, except by me. Public Speaking – We need
to tell stories when we give a talk, don’t just read your talk. Talk extemporaneously.1 John 5:3 in fact, this is love for God: to keep his
commands. And his commands are not burdensome. Jeremiah 9:23-24
This is what the Lord says: “Let
not the wise boast of their wisdom
or the strong boast of their strength
or the rich boast of their riches,
24 but let the one who boasts boast about this:
that they have the understanding to know me,
that I am the Lord, who
exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight,”
declares the Lord.
