Today I am especially thankful for God’s love and the hope that God gives us! I am also thankful for giving me so many friends that love and care for me. Friends that I can pray with and share my heart with.
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” Romans 5:5
The Word of God tells the believer that God already GAVE us the love of God! It is shed aboard in our hearts by the Holy Spirit whom He gave us! That means through the empowering of the Holy Spirit, we can love!
God loves us so much, and I want His love to flow from me everyday to other people in my life.
I wrote this poem awhile ago and wanted to share it:
To Love Like God In this world of selfish pride, ambitions In this world where people seek their own Help me Lord to love You, seek You always Help me Lord to other people love In this world where loneliness is rampant In this world where so much stuff we have Help me Lord to love another person Help me others love and care for them As I look at self and my ambitions I now see, so little I have loved I have too self-centered been so often I confess I others loved not much Just like Christ has loved me, has forgave me Just like Christ- I also want to love Lord in my own power I cannot do this Help me Lord love others, love them much Help me not look down on other people And to never anyone despise Help me Lord to love and to love deeply Help me Lord I cannot on my own In this world of Internet and cellphones That just pull us in and time we waste Help me put aside things that distract me And to love You more, love others more For Your great love I just want to thank You Thank You for the way You proved Your love Thank You Holy Spirit for the power To forgive and love like Jesus loved Y.

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another”
John 13:34-35
