Love Is Like Candy
Contributed by John Bright on May 22, 2021 (message contributor)
I’m talking about love that is a real, tangible – like candy! Since you are watching on video (or reading this at home), you will have to imagine I have a big bag of Hershey Kisses right here. I have LOTS OF CANDY! So - I can claim to be full of candy. What if this candy is the love we have to give our enemies? I can have lots of candy – be full of candy and I can have lots of love – be full of love, yet I may not be loving. See, I can have all this sweet candy and never give any of it away. Love works the same way.
I can give you a little candy – one piece – if you are on my “naughty list” and I can still feel pretty good about myself. If you are my family or friend, I would probably give you more than one piece of candy. In fact, I want to give you enough to share (maybe even give some back to me😊). See how that works? Now if I gave someone a piece and they see me giving others many pieces - what will they be thinking? Love works the same way. An abundance of love needs to flow through us to others – even our enemies.

A Whole Heart
Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Jul 2, 2018
Who wants God to love them and act towards them halfheartedly, as an after thought. No we want Gods full attention and commitment to our well being. Well God wants doesn't want to be an after thought in our lives either.
