Have you ever been “in a chapter of your life”
Where it goes a bit longer than you want to read ?
Have you been in a chapter in your life …
Where the plot is just going on and on ….
and FINALLY…..the whole reason to the chapter
is revealed, finally ?
( not that you are finishing the chapter,
there are MORE PAGES……
cause it won’t just click in you…)

This chapter in my life, right now…..
I am learning….
a. not everyone LOVES ME..
( in the way I want them to..
or think they should )
AND THAT IS O.K. ~ seriously !!!!
b. but I am to LOVE EVERYONE.

Like and Love are 2 different things, also …
Love is unconditional
Like is wanting to, what ever ….

We literally got Oakie on the Holy Spirit
telling me to get a dog so that …
every day I would
be able to have in MY FACE….
The unconditional love ~ example of a dog
literally IN MY FACE, every day , every day..
And so we set out to “find a dog” and it was OAKIE.

Because I, I , I need to learn to LOVE….
not looking at anything…
JUST LOVE….JUST LOVE….JUST LOVE ….

( the chapter is long, we got Oak a year ago )

What goes out of me…..
Can be different than what is coming in…..
What goes out of me….
Can be different than what I am receiving……

You think of all the individuals in your life…
Who gives you LOVE ? seriously ?
Who likes you ? seriously ?
Then you look of those in your life…
Who do you LOVE, seriously ?
….and who do you like ? seriously ?

Do they match up ?
Probably not !……seriously !
And how do you live in that ?
how do you have true peace in that ?

You/ I have to come to grips….
That what goes out of me….should only be love
What goes out of me….should only be love
and…
What comes to me…… that I can not control.
What comes to me……I just receive it …
what I get, what I receive…
from each individual that is in my life…
What ever it is…. I just receive …
and say thank you….
and seriously walk on…
and seriously do not sit down on a bench
for days, for weeks, for months …..
and be paralyzed in what I am receiving
or not receiving…..

POINT IN CASE : JESUS CHRIST
JESUS CHRIST
JESUS CHRIST

Stepped off His throne in Heaven
Walked the earth…..did He receive love from
everyone ?
How deep did HE truly care about each of them ?
SO DEEP…yet HE did not receive LOVE
but He gave HIS LIFE in love, in return.

To the CROSS….go in detail in your mind slowly…
Every ounce of the agony HE FELT….
in literal pain
Every ounce of the agony HE FELT in HIS HEART…
in literally emotional pain
What was “coming in” to JESUS CHRIST ?

Yet what ” went out of JESUS CHRIST ”
The blood flowed out
The LOVE flowed out
His compassion flowed out

The only example to us : CHRIST ALONE
The only One we will stand in front of : CHRIST ALONE

We will NOT stand in front of those that
do not love us, or do not even like us…..

We WILL, stand , in front of THE ONE….
That CHOSE to give, to show LOVE….
” coming out of JESUS ”
They spat, they mocked, they beat, they
ripped His skin……..

He knows, He knows…the depth of
” genuine love going out ”
” and not much coming in ”

and it is truly a way of life….
we need to be still and know that HE IS GOD….
HIS LOVE WILL ALWAYS COME IN TO US
HIS LOVE WILL ALWAYS COME IN TO US
HIS LOVE WILL ALWAYS COME IN TO US…..

Listen to the song….” All I Need IS YOU ” …
and finish the chapter…
turn the page….we only have ONE BOOK…
” Jesus Christ =
the Author and Finisher of OUR FAITH ”
