I would dare say...that if we are not walking in love with mankind...we do not know Him...to be ashamed of Him before man...He will not know us when it really counts...before the Father in Heaven...Lord, I want You to know me...so I will make it my business to know You here on earth and love others enough to introduce You to them...To share You...You are love...To know You is to shre Your Love here on earth to the unlikeable, the unloveable...to people who don't even love themselves at times...hummmmm...

Good word Verna. The challenge is to display the "love of Christ". What is that "love of Christ"? It is the self-sacrificng, unconditional love that He displayed toward us while we were "yet sinners" as Paul says in Romans. Our Lord went to the cross for us, so I must ask myself, "for whom am I willing to go to the cross?" Blessings.

John 13:34-35 (Amplified Bible)
34I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another.

35By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves].
The question is...How are we displaying the love of Christ in our daily walk...our daily conversations...our daily relationships with family, friends, co-workers, community folks???? hummmmm

Please keep me in your prayers, I have come to the realization that police work is not for me. I must find another job before I am to leave!!!!

Great idea Raymond. Thank you for being there this morning. This is a hard day, with it being the three month anniversary of Sherman's death. I'll never truly understand God's reasoning for calling my dear friend home, but your words of wisdom have made this day a little easier to bare. Again, thank you my friend and brother!
