Romans 12:4-10
4 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads,f with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love be genuine.
Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.
10 Love one another with brotherly affection.
Outdo one another in showing honor.

| BLESSING SEEKERS Far easier to see all too well when blessings are taken Let today be the Blessing God intends |
God is the Maker of All Things. If we phylactery up and law up and pray in a certain position - we will make God happy. Yet if we say, "I'm the least of the tribe and I would, om, like to go home now, God." God knows we are honest and He helps. Gideon was allowed to doubt and, still, Gideon is called to work for God.
Gideon did not rage about God being unjust. God was asked for help to do what God wanted and God helped. The ten Talent Servant expected God to be Good. The one Talent servant expected God as harsh and cruel.
Thinking about Esther - Hadassah and Mordecai. Esther is young and new at life. She cares; Esther is not an adult who has been operating as an adult. Mordecai, it is thought, knows of the plot to end all Jews in Persia. Mordecai places Esther to help. What this tells us is this - no matter our Spiritual depth - you think about God all the time or just simply like God ~ God is going to place you in the path of the Prodigal Person to find who you really are. God has said many times our deeds and our choices will be judged as significance by God Himself.
Mordecai is interesting. He is from the Tribe of Benjamin - this tribe ended BEFORE the Babylonian Exile, due to war. Benjamin fault. And it is said Benjamin is done for - out - crushed - over - bad - failed. Mordecai saves the Jews with Esther being brave and wise - and is part of the destroyed Benjamin Tribe. Indeed, God has left a remnant of the son Jacob Loved so much.
God works within God Works.
Weaving all things together for Good.
The Blessing of God on Benjamin is alive.
That's what I believe and know is God of Love. God of Encouragement. God of Promised Word. God Alive and Working, our Father.
Vivre sans aimer n’est pas proprement vivre.
To live without loving - is to not really live.
Molière
Il n’y a qu’un bonheur dans la vie, c’est d’aimer et d’être aimé.
There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.
George Sand
Entre deux coeurs qui s’aiment, nul besoin de paroles.
Two hearts in love need no words.
Marceline Desbordes-Valmore
Aimer, ce n’est pas se regarder l’un l’autre, c’est regarder ensemble dans la même direction.
Love doesn’t mean gazing at each other, but looking, together, in the same direction.
Antoine de St-Exupéry
L’amour fait les plus grandes douceurs et les plus sensibles infortunes de la vie.
Love makes the greatest pleasures and most sensitive misfortunes of life.
Madeleine de Scudery
J’ai aimé jusqu’à atteindre la folie. Ce que certains appellent la folie, mais ce qui pour moi, est la seule façon d’aimer.
I have loved to the point of madness; That which is called madness, That which to me, Is the only sensible way to love.
Françoise Sagan
Why would God create? God is the Alpha and the Omega. God is Love.
Genesis 6:6
And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.
Jesus had three very poignant things to say about Mankind.
1. Proverbs 8 says looking into mankind - delighted God the Father and Jesus Christ.
2. John 2:24-45 Jesus did not entrust Himself to mankind knowing what was in mankind.
3. John 3:17 God wants to save the entire world in Jesus Christ.
1 John 4:14
And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.
L’amour est l’emblème de l’éternité, il confond toute la notion de temps, efface toute la mémoire d’un commencement, toute la crainte d’une extrémité.
Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time, effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end.
Madame de Staël
1 Corinthians 13
Love never ends.
Abba, Holy Father,
Be my Blessing.
Let me see Love, give Love, appreciate Love, be Love.
Bless those I love to see and have and hold and be Genuine Love for their souls to You.
Bless the Nation trusting in You. Bless all Nations in the Brightness and Love You hold for us.
Let Your Blessings Pour forth, we ask in Jesus.
More Heaven on earth we see, tell, appreciate and give.
In Jesus. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
