{love without words}

Candace Cameron Bure, who we all remember as DJ Tanner of Full House fame, wife and stay-at-home mother of 3, and a contributing columnist for Christian Women Online has a new line of t-shirts that are available on her website.

I particularly love this white shirt that simply says: “LOVE WITHOUT WORDS”. It really speaks to the nature of society today. When we have been hurt, we sometimes want others to show us love first before we reciprocate in some way. But this is not what God calls us to do. He asks us to forgive one another, accept one another, and above all else, to love one another as he has loved us.

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” ^{JOHN 13:34} -35

But LOVE IS AN ACTION. It is not a fleeting emotion, or a feeling. Unconditional love, or agape love as described in the bible is:

a·ga·pe² // (ä-gäp, äg-p)n.

1. Christianity Love as revealed in Jesus, seen as spiritual and selfless and a model for humanity.

This shirt is a great way to spread this message….

Dear children, let us stop just saying we love each other;
let us really show it by our actions. 1 John 3:18 (NLT)

I may speak in tongues of men or of angels, but if I am without love, I am a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal. I may have the gift of prophecy, and know every hidden truth; I may have faith strong enough to move mountains; but if I have no love, I am nothing.

I may dole out all I possess, or even give my body to be burnt, but if I have no love, I am none the better.

Love is patient; love is kind and envies no one. Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude; never selfish, not quick to take offense. Love keeps no score of wrongs; does not gloat over other men’s sins, but delights in the truth. There is nothing love cannot face; there is no limit to its faith, its hope, and its endurance.

The Bible, 1st Book Of Corinthians

Inner Light
-2 Corinthians 4:6

In autumn in the U.S. people are carving out pumpkins and putting candles inside of them. It made me think about how, as Christians, God has put His light inside of our hearts.

Michael D. Waters

http://www.joyfultoons.com

This is a great poem to share with your children as you carve your pumpkin this year:

God’s Pumpkin Patch

A lady recently being baptized was asked by a co-worker what it was like to be a Christian.

She replied, “It’s like being a pumpkin:

God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off you may have gotten from the other pumpkins.

Then he cuts the top off and scoops out all the yucky stuff.

He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc.

Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see.”

Faith Fuel
-Romans 10:17

We need to have faith in God to get us down the highway of life, to the destination that God has planned for us. The Word of God is the fuel that keeps our faith moving along.

{That Which is to Be, Has Already Been}

cloud9design — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 23:41:23 +0000

That Which is to Be, Has Already Been, originally uploaded by akvileja.

Ecclesiates 3:1-8; 15

To everything there is a season, and
a time to every purpose under heaven:

A time to be born, and
a time to die;
a time to plant, and
a time to pluck up
that which is planted;

A time to kill, and
a time to heal;
a time to break down, and
a time to build up;

A time to weep, and
a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and
a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and
a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and
a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and
a time to lose;
a time to keep, and
a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and
a time to sow;
a time to keep silence, and
a time to speak;

A time to love, and
a time to hate;
a time of war; and
a time of peace.

That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
