GBF Week

Filed under: Uncategorized — tremoorem6 @ 11:03p10

During this GBF week I have been reading Seven Longings of the Human Heart and I decided to take notes while I read this book and thought I’d share this with you…

7 Longings:

1. The longing of the assurance that we are loved by God

2. The longing to be fascinated

3. The longing to be great

4. The longing to be beautiful

5. The longing for intimacy without shame

6. The longing to be wholehearted and passionate

7. The longing to make a deep and lasting impact

We were created for pleasure but when the Puritans came they stated that anything pleasurable is a sin and some of that is still believable in the church today. When the church believes this it leads to a church full of people with genuine God-given longings who lecture one another on why it’s wrong to feel the way they do. Meanwhile, God is crying to them, “I made you that way!!!”

When Jesus died on the cross, he did two things:

1. The obvious that everyone knows is that he redeemed humanity

2. But the one we don’t think about is that when Jesus died on the cross He made us a worthy bride.

We need to see Jesus as a Bridegroom that wants and desires His bride. He put these desires in us for a reason, that we might desire Him like He desires us!!

In this generation we need to understand the Bridal Paradigm. We need to understand His desire for us.

We have affections and emotions the angels only have emotions. The Bible shows the angels having joy and other things…..

What is the difference between emotions and affections? Why do angels have emotions, but not affections??

Well I will continue to share the little bit i read each day until im finished…

The Gospels and Jesus

Filed under: Uncategorized — tremoorem6 @ 11:03p09

Today’s class was on the Gospels and Jesus and it was sooooo good. I felt so much power in what our teacher (Stephen Venable) was saying so I thought I would share some of the stuff with ya’ll as I meditate on it and kind of what I got.

#1. As Stephen talked about our access to the gospels it was incredible to realize what we have in front of us.

Through the Gospels we are actually beckoned into His inner circle. Like Peter, James, and John we are invited to join Him in the glory of the transfiguration and the agony of the garden. What was given only to His closest friends during His days before the Cross is by the Holy Spirit to all who would answer the invitation throughout Church History. This is an unspeakable priviledge that the peasants who followed Him would have only dreamt of. While the crowds wait outside, we walk with Jesus into the house and watch Him raise a little girl from the dead (Luke 8:40-56).”

#2. Stephen also talked about us loving a God that we don’t know and how we need to back up our love for Him with knowledge of His life:

Our relationship with Jesus must be grounded in actual knowledge of who He is and the life He lived. It is in this that we find entrance into the experience of abounding love for Him. And it is our love for a real person that in turn causes us to crave deeper understanding of Him. Imagine attempting to convince someone that you have found your true love and your heart is ruined and undone and yet when asked you cannot offer them an informed description of your beloved’s life. So pervasive is the absence of a focus on the person of Christ within the modern Church that almost complete relational disassociation permeates the Christian landscape in the West. We must soberly and painfully ask hard questions about what our ‘relationship’ with Jesus is based upon and consider the possibility that we are often guilty of being more in love with the idea of Christ than with Christ Himself.


#3. Another thing that was mentioned about the Gospels is that we need to realize the importance of His first coming to want the second coming of Jesus. We need to be wounded by love like His disciples were…

“And Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.” -Matthew 9:15

“The consequence of being pierced by the revelation of Christ is an incurable wound of love that can only be healed by His return. For several years the apostles had sweet fellowship with Jesus and the consequence was that when He was taken from then they were sick with an anguish to see Him again. They had never met anyone like Him and they would do anything to get him back. The almost complete absence of the ardent cry of “come” from the Bride and apathy toward what is our “blessed hope” is due not so much to a lack of teaching on eschatology but rather to the fact that men and women have not been wounded by His first coming- the very thing that caused his disciples to mourn with love. As we savor the beauty of His life- through our contemplation and study walking beside this matchless One just as the disciples- and unrelenting desire for him to come back will begin to pound within our souls.

Well that’s all I have time for tonight!! I can wait to write about the life of Jesus, it was so good.

IM BACK!

Filed under: Uncategorized — tremoorem6 @ 11:03p09

So I am back…

I dunno I feel like the Lord has been speaking to me lately and I want to let it out!!! So here I am to let it all out daily :) Because I believe that we may receive daily bread from the Lord. This first entry back is a paper that I wrote for my Old Testament class. It is the redemptive story of the Old testament, non-edited….

Old Testament Survey: Using the story of the Old Testament describe the redemptive story of God.
Warren Moore III
Due 9/11/09
Word Count- 1430

From the beginning of time God wanted someone to share his heart with, someone to love, someone to reveal Himself to. He created Adam and Eve and in Genesis 3:6 they disobeyed his one commandment and separated themselves from God. This is why the redemptive story has to take place, because God desires us to be His and only His.
God finds a man named Abraham who is obedient to the Lord and who loves God so God decides to make Abraham the “Father” of God’s chosen people. God then promises Abraham three main things: land, descendants, and  blessings. Abrahams descendants begin to grow and grow and he has a son named Isaac who has a son named Jacob. One day while Jacob is at Bethel he has a dream of a ladder going between heaven and earth with angels descending and ascending. God confirms to Jacob the same things that he confirmed to Abraham (Gen 28:13-15). Jacob has twelve sons and these twelve sons become the twelve tribes of Israel. Jacob also hears from the Lord that the blessing should go to his fourth son Judah instead of his eldest son Reuben.
Four hundred years later in the book of Exodus, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob’s descendants become a nation their population is well over one million people, but they are enslaved. Not only are they enslaved, but they are without government, without a priesthood, and without land. The Hebrew population is getting so great that Pharaoh decides to kill all the male children that are born. Among these children that are supposed to be is a child named Moses. Moses’ mother is able to save him and he ends up becoming Pharaohs son. After some bad situations Moses flees from Pharaoh and years later he ends up encountering the Lord and the Lord tells Moses to go back to his people and set them free from slavery. Moses goes back and after many spiritual battles the Lord prevails and sets Israel free!

Once Israel leaves Egypt and Pharaohs authority they begin a long journey. They are in the wilderness but the Lord continues to provide for His people over and over again. Then the Lord sets up a covenant with His people on Mount Sinai stating, “Now then if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant then you shall be My own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine; and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. (Ex. 19:5-6) God offers Israel to be a special people, but only if they obey His voice and  keep His commands. Israel decides to listen to God and Moses builds a tabernacle.
In the book of Numbers we see Israel beginning to complain and rebel. God begins to walk with them and make himself known through judgments and through voices like Moses, Aaron, and Joshua. Then in Deuteronomy God decides to make Israel a New Covenant. Moses recounts the Sinai encounter and then preaches the details of the law. Moses lays out the conditions of the Covenant (Mosaic Covenant), but if Israel does not follow the New Covenant God will remove them from the land. But if they follow it, God will grant them the land. Moses then prophesies that Israel will not follow this covenant but that they will gain the land and posses it (Deut. 30:1-6). Even though Israel is full of sin and rebellion God chooses to love and to preserve a remnant and to eventually make them a holy nation and a royal priesthood.
Throughout the book of Joshua things are looking really good for Israel. They gain the land that they desired they have an awesome leader in Joshua and they split up the land and begin to settle down. At the end of Joshua, Israel loses their leader and Prophet Joshua. Without Joshua or Moses Israel began to do “whatever was right in their own eye.” Israel fails to keep the Mosaic Covenant as they do not listen to the voice of the Lord and do not take full possession of the Canaanites. Once they did that it led to many more things and eventually, “They forsook the LORD and served Baal and Ashtaroth. (Judges 2:13). Throughout the book of Judges Israel runs away from the Lord and God has someone conquer them making Israel desperate for the Lord to save them. God hears their cry over and over and continues to pursue the human race, especially His people, Israel.
In 1 Samuel God raises up a Prophet named Samuel. Samuel hears the voice of the Lord and tells Israel to take the Philistines, Israel listens to Samuel, obeys, and defeats the Philistines. After Israel does this they decide that they want a king so that they can become like all the other nations. God hears His nations request and decides to give Israel what they what and has Saul anointed king over Israel. Saul does not turn out be a great king and disobeys the voice of the Lord as he is unable to wait for Samuel to offer burnt offerings and then he does not completely destroy the Amalekites (which God commanded him to do). The Lord then tells Samuel that He is looking for a man after His own heart and he sends Samuel to the house of Jesse. When Samuel arrives he chooses Jesse’s youngest son David to be the next King of Israel and anoints him. David begins to go through seasons of promotion and hard seasons of testing but through years of being a fugitive and throughout this journey David finally becomes the King of Israel in Samuel 2.
When David becomes king God makes a covenant with him (Davidic Covenant). This is one of the crucial Covenants that God makes with his people. It first deals with David’s immediate son Solomon, but also David’s distant son – The Messiah. This covenant offered an eternal dynasty, a seed,  and an eternal kingdom and throne. Throughout David’s rule he had tons of military victories. Later in 2 Samuel we see David fall into sin as he breaks five of the ten commandments. David then declares his own judgment and this judgment is evident in his family. Later in David’s life Solomon takes the throne. Solomon went through really good and hard times as a king but in the end he finds that life is nothing without the Lord.
In I Kings Solomon passes away and Israel begins to split up. They have the Northern tribes and the Southern tribes. Many of the kings that lead these tribes become evil and God raises up a man named Elijah in attempt to bring His people back to Him. Through many events such as the Mount Carmel showdown God begins to bring His people back from their wicked ways.
Over and over we see Satan trying to take out God’s chosen people and another example of this would be found in Esther. A man named Haman does not like the Jewish race and decides to attempt to take them out but through fasting and prayer God continues to keep His people going.
Throughout time God’s people have continually wondered away from Him but He continues to use people to show Himself and how He feels. The Prophets are all a perfect example of this. Throughout the story of redemption, the Prophets are the ones that are used by God to bring a nation back or to sound the alarm to return to God. The Lord uses men like Jonah, Joel, and Jeremiah to warn people of the judgments to come. God also uses another covenant to set before His people through Jeremiah. Jeremiah offers the people of the Lord hope despite the judgments that are at hand. The new law involves their hearts so that they might desire obedience, it is also based on the sacred relationship between God and His people, and finally it offers forgiveness for their past sins and the ultimate forgiveness of sin.
When the Lord offered Israel the ultimate forgiveness of sins He knew that someday he would send His Son to the earth to sacrifice His life that we might be forgiven. Throughout The Law and The Prophets God pursued us and He continues to pursue us.

“Lord raise up men and women like Abraham, Moses, David, and Jeremiah. Let them be a voice in this world that they may change the way that people view You. Thank You for this story. Let it run swiftly through our world and be glorified.”

What to write…

Filed under: Uncategorized — tremoorem6 @ 11:03p03

Hmmmmmm….. there are so so so so so so so many things I could write.

I could write about my new addiction to hymns…

The past week I have been singing “It Is Well”, “Come Thou Fount”, and my personal favorite: “TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS!!!” They are all so powerful! I feel like when the Lord breaks in with revival He brings new songs. Back during the first great awakening there were so many songs written, and during David’s day there were many songs written. Now the big thing is writing songs based off of scripture!! The Lord is bringing forth new music but I like the hymns and lately I’ve been going at hymns.

I could write about my new class…

My “Life of David” class has started. We only had one class last week but it was really good. Matt Chandler is the teacher for that class. He mentioned the importance of our voices and he talked about how each and every one of us are daily writing our story and that really hit me. Everyday David or Daweeee in Jewish :-D was writing a story. He also talked about God’s love for stories how Jesus always told stories and how stories are the easiest way to recieve Revelation or to understand something. The class has been really good so far and I will be in class in an hour and a half!

I could write about work!!!

So I have been working like mad style. I worked Tues, Wed, Thurs, Sunday, Today, Tomorrow, Thursday, and Sat… about 5 days a week. It has been really intense. Last Thurs. the Lord really spoke to me while I was in the prayer room and He told me that He wanted me to become bold about my faith at work. On Tues. and Wed. people were asking me where I went to school and I would tell them all that I was going to a small school and that was it! It didn’t even mention the fact that it was a Bible School or anything like that. So the Lord wanted me to be bold. I was kind of nervous but He is so good and He is God so if He wants to use me to do something I need to trust in Him and believe that nothing is impossible with Him.

Thursday night I went into work and we had our usual waiter’s meeting where we talk about the specials and other such things and at the end of the 5-10 min meeting I asked the manager if I could say a quick prayer for the night, he told me that it might not be fair because different people pray to different gods. I then told said that in my prayer I would just say God and not be specific and everyone was ok with that. I then said a short prayer and that was that, but throughout the night people began coming up to me and asking me about my faith. I began telling them that I was going to the Int’l House of Prayer and it was cool.

I show up for work yesterday and God breaks in again, this time I didn’t even expect it!! This one guy comes up to me and asks me, “So is it hard not being able to marry anyone?” I was like WHA!?! He then told me that his college professor told him that if he wanted to become a Christian that he would have to give up his girlfriend and not get married because Christians are not allowed to get married. I told him that what his professor told him was a lie. He then told me that Jesus was not married and neither was Paul and that we are supposed to be like them. I then told him that God created us man and woman and that he wanted relationships to happen since the beginning of time and that in the end there will be a wedding.

Next thing I know the topic is the world coming to an end soon. EVERYONE AT MY WORKPLACE THINKS THE WORLD WILL END!!!!! INSANE!!!! They were really interested to hear from me what Christians believe. I told them many Christians believe in a lie that they will be raptured before the bad things and most of them had heard of “Left Behind” so that was cool. I then told them that I believe that Jesus is going and people that don’t know him will go to hell and I told them many other things… Then this one guy said that one of his religious teachers taught his class about revelation and he said that the water turning to blood happened with the flood, and the earth being scorched with fire happened when the dinasours died… I didn’t really know what to say I was definitly surprised. I told him that these things will happen together and that they will all take place within 7 yr’s (Daniel). Wow I have typed alot…

So yeah that it work in a very short version…

Another thing to write about….

The Lord has been teaching me about Matthew 5:5. “Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.” Meek (adjective)- quiet, gentle, submissive. The Lord has been teaching me how to be meek…..

I shall continue this later I GOTTA GO TO CLASSSSSSSSSSS

religion growth…

Filed under: Uncategorized — tremoorem6 @ 11:03p02

I have been in this Daniel class and we have discussed the End-Times alot. Our teacher told us one of the most shocking things that I have heard in a long time and I thought that I would share it with you…

Our teacher said that scientists have found that in order to keep a religion going families have to average 2.6 children, so that the religion will continue through them and then hopefully their children.The Europe world has been averaging 1.3 children and America is averaging 2.6, so America is right on this mark. But the shocking thing in all this is the Islam world. They are averaging 8 children per household and their religion is spreading rapidly, DUH! I just thought that was interesting and kind of freaky or scary, but I believe that the End-Times is near, so I shouldn’t be shocked at things like this…

Call to Day and Night Prayer & Testimony of IHOP

Filed under: Uncategorized — tremoorem6 @ 11:03p02

This was a paper I wrote for class and I thought I would share it with you :)

Call to Night and Day Prayer
Testimony:

Everyone that is involved with the International House of Prayer has a testimony. I ended up in Kansas City because of the faithful prayers of my mother. She fasted and prayed and asked the Lord to speak to me and send me out here, and God listened to her prayers and answered her.
After graduating high school I was faced with a tough choice. There were two colleges that I was looking at and there was IHOP. I had decided to go to Mozambique for the first half of my summer and I would make a decision when I came back. While I was in Mozambique the Lord really spoke to me and led me out here. When I got out here my relationship with Jesus went to a whole new level.
When you sit in a prayer room for twenty-four hours a week you begin to realize who Jesus is, your relationship with Him goes to a whole new level. It is such an honor to have a place that you can go to where prayer and worship are being lifted up to God at all times. In my first month out here there was a Saturday night or Sunday morning (12:30am) where I fell into sin. Right after I sinned I went to the prayer room and sat before the Lord. When you have 24/7 access to this you can honestly go whenever you need to.
Twenty-four hours a week in a prayer room sounds wonderful to some people and it sounds nearly impossible to others. When I first got out to Kansas City it was hard for me to spend this much time in a prayer room. The thing that made the adjustment so simple and easy were the classes that we took. The classes would give you Bible reading to read in the prayer room, apostolic prayers to pray through, meditations, and papers to write. On top of the assignments that classes gave us the classes offered many things to meditate on. Almost everyday I am blown away in class and that leads me back to the prayer room. I then sit in the prayer room and talk with Jesus about what I have heard in class. This semester I have been in the prayer room from eight in the morning to noon and I go to class from one to four. There have been so many times when I get out of class that I decide to go right back to the prayer room after class. What a privilege! There has been time after time where the Lord leads me back to the prayer room, the cool thing is that the people that are out here are all in the same place when it comes to all of this. If I had to call and cancel dinner because I am feeling like I need to go to the prayer room my friends would be more than happy to send me back to the prayer room, because all of the people out here have realized that loving Jesus and our time with Him is more important than anything else.

Night and Day Prayer:
The best thing about the International House of Prayer is the fact that it is going all the time; there isn’t a minute that goes by without prayer and worship. The musicians here are incredible. There are at least 40 musicians that could be a worship leader for a church. Many of the IHOP leaders call the house of prayer a “Greenhouse”, they see it as a place to go and grow in the Lord. When you are in a prayer room for long periods of time you begin to dive into the Word at a whole new level and you begin to learn how to listen to your Spirit. There are times where it is hard to press in, but overall it is worth it.
The prayer room exists because our God is worthy of 24/7 prayer and praise. In the Old Testament David built a tabernacle for the Lord. The Lord was pleased with what David and now thousands of years later the prayer room is here. The prayer room has changed the surrounding communities. There are more than a thousand people that are either on staff at IHOP or in one of the schools. Those people have impact on the surrounding businesses and people. There have been at least five times in the 6 months that I’ve been here where someone will say, “Are you from IHOP?” It says in God’s word, “They will know us by our love.” IHOP really makes that a true statement.
One reason that I would give myself to being out here would be the people. The people out here are encouraging and loving people. There have been a few times where I have struggled spiritually but the people around always want to help in anyway possible. It is hard to fall away from the Lord while you are out here because it is hard to find bad influences. There is a coffee shop right next to the International House of Prayer called, “Higher Grounds” and there is always fellowship flowing out of there.
Inside the Prayer room are side rooms. These rooms include healing rooms, travail rooms, and prophecy rooms. I have been in the prophecy rooms and they are extremely encouraging. One of the many ways to get involved out here would be through these rooms. They love it when there are people who are willing to put forth their own individual time and come pray and prophecy over others. Overall God is doing great things out in Kansas City, but we believe that God is going to do more and more. We believe that there will be prayer rooms across the world. I encourage everyone to give years to this prayer movement. That you would be able to stand at your workplace someday, that you would know the word more than you ever have, and that you would truly find God’s purpose over your life.

When I moved to Kansas City I was scared because I did not know what my future would be. I wanted to go to college and be successful but I knew that the Lord was calling me to Kansas City. He then showed me the verse that I leave with you today:
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” –Matthew 6:33

Love Song

Part of my worship time…

Gold

Filed under: Uncategorized — tremoorem6 @ 11:03p02

Can I just tell you that I love the manifest presence of the Lord!

During class today I looked down at my hands and there were beastly chunks of gold. It was crazy!!! Now things like this have been quite normal over the past week or I guess re-occurring. I am not saying this to brag at all because there was a very important message behind it.

This is kind of strange but here it goes… I have some of the dryest skin in the history of history. When I do not put lotion on it can get really bad. The past few days I have been busy and have completely forgot to put on lotion. During the beginning of class I looked at them and was like, “Oh crap, my first day of working at Applebee’s and they’ll see my nasty dry skin.” I was extremely frustrated. As class went on I began to look at my hands more and more and all of the sudden out of nowhere chunks (LITERAL CHUNKS) of gold were on my hands! I then heard the Lord say (clearer than usual), “Even though you might not like your core, I love it and want to make it beautiful.” And that was it. I actaully typed more, got convicted, and deleted because that’s all He said. But it is soooo true. He sees our broken weak weak weak weak weak weak self and adds his gold to it. He purifies our hearts.

“God I thank you for taking me in and loving me. In my weakest most vulnerable moments You make me strong. I ask that I would see myself as You see me. That You would continue to work on me until I am walking in obedience. God I am asking that revelation of who I am in Your eyes would be revealed to me in the name of Jesus. Strengthen me God. Thank you for dying for me, thank you for loving me at my worst, God I thank you for being there, for sending Your Spirit to dwell in me, and I thank you for Your gold, God for this gift that You gave me. Reveal more, reveal the mysteries of heaven that they may dwell and burn in my heart, God I ask that I would truly long for the day of Your sons return. Purify my mouth God, that my words may be holy, and that I may be set apart for You. Lord bless me and keep me, cause Your face to shine on me. Oh God that I would reflect Your heart…

Amen

Youth Group

Filed under: Uncategorized — tremoorem6 @ 11:03p02

Over the past 3 weeks my and two of my closest friends have been helping out at a youth group. And last night we were able to go out with the Youth Pastor, Pastor Joe. We had alot of things on our heart that we wanted to talk to him about and apparently he had some stuff too. Overall it has been kind of rough, but I felt that last night we saw breakthrough, so I thought I’d share it here.

The worship team at this youth group has been without a drummer so I was able to play last night and that was really cool. Brittany has been meeting all the girls and I believe has already had impact with them. After youth group last night Xander, Britt, and I went out with Pastor Joe and the youth group worship leader to talk about what they want us to do. Overall they would like us to help lead worship. I think it is so cool how God brings people together, if Xander, Brittany, and I had one strength it be music and that is the thing they are lacking. How cool is that?!? Another awesome thing that we are excited about is that the youth group just got a builing that holds a thousand people but there are 40 ppl in this youth group, so I thought that was interesting. A guy came up to Joe and handed him the keys and ownership to the building and said, “Do what you want with it.” And he also said, “Kutless is coming to play here for you guys.” So that is also cool. The one thing that concerned me was my work schedule. I am already asking off Thursday nights and Friday nights because of Basketball and Prayer Meetings, so I knew that I would not be able to request off Wendesday nights. The Youth Pastor was really cool about everything and told us not to worry about it.

Another cool thing that happened last night that came after youth group was when a guy came up to me and asked if I would play drums at his church!!! His wife was the worship leader for the youth and we all just fell in love with them, they are such a great couple. So I might be able to drum for 2 worship teams a week. God is so good in opening doors and closing doors. :-)

God’s Love

Filed under: Uncategorized — tremoorem6 @ 11:03p02

    1 John 4:8 says,  “God is love.” When you look up love in the dictionary you will see that it is a noun and a verb. You can love someone and you can also have love. When you read what John wrote here you need to realize that out of anyone, John knew God’s love. He had experience after experience of the love of God. Jesus washed his feet and allowed him to lay on his breast. John watched Jesus die on the cross and as he watched the death of his Savior he saw Jesus’ love as He gave His mother to John. John’s identity was in the fact that he was the one whom in Jesus loved (John 13:23). He was confident in God’s love.
    In 1 John 4 John talks extensively about love. In verse 10 he tells us what love is. 1 John 4:10 says, “In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” Propitiate is an interesting word. The definition is, “win or regain the favor of (a god, spirit, or person) by doing something that pleases them.” Something was not right when Adam and Eve sinned and God knew that something needed to be done. In order to get God’s favor back for humanity Jesus showed us all what love looks like. He came to the earth as a man, lived his live like a servant, and in the end he ultimately died on a cross for our sins.
    I do not think we will ever fully grasp what kind of sacrifice this was. It was a sacrifice for Jesus to come to the earth and to give his life, as Christians we always think of this as the ultimate sacrifice and I believe that it totally is, but I think there is more behind this sacrifice that we have to search out. God also made a sacrifice. In John 3:16 it says, “For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him will have everlasting life.”  God gave us His only son as a sacrifice for our sins. He did not give up on us when we failed Him, but He continuously pursued us. We have seen Jesus’ love in His coming to us and loving us, and we have seen His Father’s love as He has given us His son. But the Holy Spirit also sacrificed. Before Jesus’ death the Holy Sprit never dwelled inside man, people would feel his presence but never was he actually inside them! The Holy Spirit shows extravagant love and humility. He chose to dwell inside of us! I believe that someday we will see things that he has done for us and we will be in awe of the work of the Spirit.
    In 1 Corinthians 13 it talks about love. There is much humility in love. It does not boast! If I were Jesus the first guy I would visit after the resurrection would be all the doubters, but instead He was humble and visited Mary, a nobody. Love is also patient. Jesus showed some of the ultimate patience with his disciples, there were so many times they asked some of the most pathetic questions and Jesus chose love, He was not easily angered by their questions.
    His love is beyond comprehension. Someday we will meet Him and we will be shocked at His love for us. Just the fact that He is ravished by our weak love shocks me. When someone sits in the prayer room and chooses Him, he is overtaken! His desire is that not one human would go to hell. He wants to fascinate our hearts for eternity, and He will! He is always looking upon us with love, because He is love!
