God's Love In Recipe Form

Good Morning

Stand with me and lift up your bible and repeat after me.

This is my Bible.

I am what it says I am.

I can do what it says I can do.

I am going to learn how to be what it says I can be.

Today I will learn more of the word of God.

The indestructible, never ending, living word Of God.

I will never be the same.

I will never be the same.

In Jesus Name

Open your bibles to Luke chapter 10 and say, “Amen” when you are there.

Luke 10:27 So, He answered and said, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and ‘your neighbor as yourself.'?”

Today I would like to share with you a little more about God’s love to us through His Son, Jesus Christ.

What is loving your neighbor as yourself?

Love actually is strength. The more love we give and enjoy, the stronger we are. With all that is going on in our world, it is great to hear and see positives in our lives isn’t it?

I saw a great video the other day. An older white woman was trying to walk up a series of about 25 steps in downtown Chicago here in the United States. It was at a busy traffic area along a street and all of the sudden a vehicle stops and puts the flashers on and a young black man gets out and runs over to help the lady up the steps by carrying her bag and her portable walker while she leaned on him as they went up the steps. You could see her say, “Thank You” when they got to the top. She blew him a kiss as he walked down the steps and then he stopped. He ran back up and kissed her on the cheek and then went on his way.

He was showing the strength of God’s love, wasn’t he?

Strength + Love

The strength of a man or woman isn't seen in the width of their shoulders.

It's seen in the width of the arms that circle you.

The strength of a man or woman isn't in the deep tone of their voice.

It's in the gentle words He whispers through them.

The strength of a man or woman isn't how many friends they have on Facebook.

It's how good a buddy and friend they are with their kids.

The strength of a woman or man isn't in how respected they are at work.

It's in how respected they are at home.

The strength of a person isn't in the clothes they wear or the car they drive. It's in Jesus’s Heart ... that lies within their chest.

The strength of a person isn't how many they have loved.

It's in how they can be true to one who loves them back.

The strength of a woman or man isn't in the achievements they have accomplished.

It's in the burdens they can carry in day to day life.

God's love for you and I is unimaginable. It is way bigger than we think.

How much love does He have for you and I?

I heard this on the satellite radio in my car the other day. It was explained like this.

God’s love for us is like trying to put all the water in the world in a tea cup.

That is impossible to imagine.

It’s also unimaginable how great His love is, but it is also impossible without His love to imagine the recipe He has for us for life.

What is your recipe?

I have told this story several times before.

If you ever watched the, “Three Stooges” which was an old comedy series on TV featuring three silly brothers. When watched it you probably realize how silly it was.

What I found out over the years was that each show had a real message and one particular show I will always remember.

The three brothers posed as chefs to get a job at a rich man’s home and they had to cook a meal for that man and his guests. It was a turkey dinner and if you know about turkey dinners, there has to be stuffing put in the turkey as part of the meal. Curly was the one who was elected to stuff the turkey and he had a recipe.

It said get a bowl, which he did.

The first part was two eggs separated. He got the eggs and put one in each hand and reached as far as he could to separate his hands from each other and then dropped them in the bowl.

The next part was a can of peas which he put in the bowl unopened.
