Amazing!

It's amazing how God works to bring his message to us!

Yesterday I was blown away by Pastor Paul's  sermon, "Why Are You Looking for Jesus?".  How clearly he expressed that we need to seek Jesus to "totally, unconditionaly surrender to him...so that all issues out of the Master's will and grace."  And then I finally understood the true meaning of incarnation when he explained, "His life becomes your life, His will becomes your will, your hands and feet and voice are His hands and feet and voice."  And then the ultimate:  "He who has seen me, has seen the father--He who sees you, will see me."  Thank you, Paul!!  
(If you weren't there, check out Paul's March 25 sermon online.)

So, as if that weren't good enough.  I went to our women's small group, (WGIF) where we are studying Hosea.  We checked out a reference, 1John 14:7-21 and I volunteered to read.  Verse after verse spoke of God's love for us and our love for others.  It was very convicting as it ended with, "We love because he first loved us.  If anyone says, 'I love God,' yet hates his brother, he is a liar.  For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he is given us this command:  Whoever loves God must also love his brother."  (vs 19-21 NIV)

Yes, Sunday was quite an amazing day as God spoke through a faithful servant and His word.

Thank you, Lord.  Help me keep your command to love each day as I encounter my sisters and brothers--your daughters and sons.  Amen.
