"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love." (1 John 4:7-8 ESV) Have enjoyed a relative week of peace in a little hideaway on the beach, courtesy of close friends. Thank you, Jesus.
Last Sunday had the joy & privilege of fellowshipping with my home "sending" church. My, how they have grown- in numbers, spiritual maturity, participation, and love for one another. Thank you, Father, for a special treat of joy with them. Our brother Caleb came up from Maryland. I'd not seen him for several years. I'm thrilled to see what God is doing in his life, and look forward with great anticipation to what He will do in the future. Josh did a splendid job of facilitating worship & his wife Rema offered up a fervent, heartfelt prayer. I had the opportunity to speak a little on some of the things that Jesus is doing now. We tend to concentrate on what He did in the past (His first coming as related in the gospels) & what He will do in the future (His Second Coming) but very little on what He is doing now. Is He just sipping lemonade somewhere? Unfortunately we couldn't dig in to everything but did mention Jesus sitting at the Father's right hand, praying (interceding) for us, and preparing a place for His bride.
Last night I had the privilege of spending time with M. T. & C. Rex. Among other things, we discussed the love and the Word of God. Tonight I rejoin the men's support/accountability/prayer group with brothers with whom I have walked for many years.
