We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. 1 John‬ ‭4:6‬ #coptorthodox #bibleverse #bible #bibleversedaily #dailyverse #coptic #orthodox @coptorthodox #daretobedifferent #childrenofgod #1john #1john4 #1john46 #1john4v6 #weareofgod #hewhoknows #hewhoknowsgodhearsus #hewhoisnotofgoddoesnothearus #bythisweknowthespiritoftruthandthespiritoferror #thespiritoftruth #thespiritoferror https://www.instagram.com/p/CiRxfy5PHcL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve been researching scripture more and more now a days, both for my personal growth and my projects I’m working on, and todays another day I take a bit of wisdom to heart. Life is tough. Like seriously tough. And I think that I, like so many people, are so sick and tired of that. We want change so bad because we are afraid of what will happen. But I think that everyone is afraid of something happening, something that will destroy their world. And I need to remember that love does not destroy the enemy; it restores the community, eliminating the fear of the other within me and the fear of me within the other, and allows us to work together to build a better future for everyone. So I will try harder. I need to try harder. We need more to be done. We need more love in the world and less fear. #religiousstudies #religion #religious #religiouslife #1john418 #1john4 #1john #bibleverse #bible #bibleverses #biblestudy #verseoftheday #verse https://www.instagram.com/p/CjJGtchgyBr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

God’s definition of love. Not ours. Not of this world, neither by it’s culture.

Ditching New Year’s Resolutions as You Know

Today’s Saying

Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is. -Gary Zukav

Today’s Scripture

“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” - Revelation 2:4-5KJV

Today’s Sermonette

The days between Christmas and New Year’s we spend evaluating the previous year and planning all the ways we would improve in the following year.

We craft a detailed list with goals, timelines, and rewards if we hit the target. Rarely do we just focus on one resolution. Instead, we filled every line on the paper with a new achievement.

And every year around the first of February, exhausted, overwhelmed, and irritated, we throw our resolution in the trash and immediately penned another, this time, a more obtainable list–except it was just as ridiculous to maintain as the first one.

Setting goals and working towards improving oneself isn’t a bad thing. But, we mustn’t let our identity be rooted in physical but the spiritual.

Our text shows the report card of the Church of Ephesus. Jesus lauded them with what they were doing in physically. However, he says; Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

I don’t know you but I know the Bible refers to you as a Temple of God and also admonishes believers in Romans 13:8; Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

So have you examined yourself if you still have the Holy Spirit, if you have not quenched it - pictured in our text for today as the seven candle sticks. Which Jesus warns them of removing them.

2 Corinthians 13:5, Says;

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

If you examine yourself may be Jesus is cautioning you like the Church of Ephesus, that you have lost your first love. Recall when you fell in love, you were overwhelmed with the person so much so that every minute of the day you were thinking about them. You were consumed by them.

Exactly, what Christ is calling the attention of the Ephesus Church and in this case you and I to Remember, Repent and Repeat. Remember where we fallen short, repent of our shortcomings and repeat our first love - loving Him as when we first became Christians.

This year I want you to take the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23 and retrospectively examine how you fared with each ray of love. Joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and gentleness.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love: joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23

Repent for each ray of love your shortcomings then resolve to repeat it as is exemplified in the Bible by Jesus.

Both Galatians 5:22-23 and Romans 13:8 ends with …against such there is no law and …for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 1John4:20

So this year remember love is the goal, loving one another is the goal. Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Today’s Supplication

Father, I pray that you will give me a steadfast spirit that aches to choose to live for you faithfully, may I live in a way that is holy and pleasing to you and

Father, help me to be strong in you and rest in your mighty power. Amen

**Choose Love First**

Sunday morning snuggles with my kids are the best! While curling up together I see my daughter has her favorite snuggle buddy "White-out" tucked neatly under her arm. I take him say, hello and I give him a nuzzle too. He is a stuffed white Bengal tiger she got in Florida a few years ago. At the time it seemed like an impulse buy. I remember my kids fighting because my son was upset she was "copying" him. I remember so clearly thinking it was too expensive and that she would probably loose it in a month. I remember my husband telling me not to. He was in a hurry and the line was long. Finally I also remember thinking who cares about the money and I bought it anyway. It's been 4 years since that day. The wear and tear on this toy is apparent now. The love she's given him has worn away his newness. The fur is matted, the eyes are scuffed. He's been through the wash multiple times. Each time coming out less like the toy we bought. Although still recognizable, in place of the plush-like fuzz that felt so good to touch is a tired hackneyed stuffy. Only a shell of what we purchased that warm sunny day.

I am met with how Jesus did a similar thing as White-out has done for my child. He poured himself into me all the while shedding some of himself for me. Of course he never wears out. My love in return only makes us both better. But this is exactly what he has done, it seems to be exactly what he's asking me to do. He poured himself entirely into each of us relentless pushing forward until every last drop was left hanging on the cross. Worn and tucked away in his tomb he never rested until he had finished it all. Am I able to give this kind of love? Can I pour everything I have selflessly into you or into those around me I may disagree with? Will I lay down my life if the time comes for those I love? I think about this more often than you'd expect.

When I was a child I used to think about Mary. How young she was , the big of a decision being a mother to Jesus, etc. Even then I wondered if I had that kind of love and faith it took to make the grade. What's more the Bible is filled with stories of love and faith persevering over evil. In each one of them I see the strength to do more than most people will ever really be asked. Regardless of that we have to be ready. We have to ask ourselves not just "What would Jesus do", but "What will I do"?

When I started writing this entry I wanted to say something about how my love can be similar to all that Jesus has done but draft after draft I start to push in on the realization that my love is not similar at all. I can't get there. His level of love will always precede anything I can do. Just as it should be. My love gets tired and weak. I forget myself. I forget the grace he's given me must be passed on to others. This is just a small list of the ways in which I fail to meet his expectations. No, our contrast has become starkly clear.

That said, I ask myself how do I move through this life aware of how much I falter? Aware of how much I withhold from those I love for selfish reasons. How do I become estranged to the side of myself that judges and jests. How do I become the loving soul Jesus wants me to be, the person God created me to be? It's a tall order to say the least.

With each squeeze my child gives that tiger, with each peaceful nights sleep she spends pressed against his fuzzy nape he gives her precious comfort that none of the other toys she has can give. I see those similarities in Jesus. The way he takes my hurt and pain. The way he takes my shame. I see kinship in the comfort he provides knowing that on my knees and in my best days of loving to the fullest he is rubbing some of himself on to me. He will never be stale only well worn. I want to love like that.

1John 3:16 We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.

1John4: 9-10 God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

1Corinthians 13 1-3 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
