To all who are crushed, abandoned and despised\u2026<\/span> [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Love means sacrifice. Sacrificing means having unshakable victory.<\/span><\/p>\n When a person has an opportunity to take revenge, but instead forgives, it means they love. \u201cLove your enemies, do good to those who hate you\u2026 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same\u2026 Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and you shall not be judged\u2026 Forgive, and you will be forgiven\u2026\u201d (Lk. 6:27-38).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Love builds up. For the building to be durable, it needs to be based on Jesus the Rock, that is on the Word of God. Everything based on the Word of God is invincible. \u201cIndeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it\u201d (Is. 46:11b).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lawlessness has grown so much that hopelessness presses people down, sometimes even the godly ones. You do not need to panic. The strength of those who are waiting on the Lord is to keep their peace and calmness in following the leading of the Holy Spirit. \u201c\u2018Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,\u2019 says the Lord of hosts\u201d (Zech. 4:6).<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAnd you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength\u2026 You shall love your neighbor as yourself\u201d (Mk. 12:30-31). \u201cAnd just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise\u201d (Lk. 6:31).<\/span><\/p>\n Never stop, never cease doing good! \u201cAnd let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart\u201d (Gal. 6:9).<\/span><\/p>\n Ten Commandments of Mother Teresa<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Love them anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Be kind anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Succeed anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Be honest and frank anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Build anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Be happy anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Do good anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Smile and do your work anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Give your best anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the final analysis, it is between you and God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It was never between you and them anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yes, all this was between you and God, and God\u2019s faithfulness is unshakeable.<\/span><\/p>\n What if God was deeply wounded because of what Adam and Eve did? Out of desperation, He would deliver them into the hands of the devil and then destroy His creation \u2013 the earth with all its visible and invisible wonders. Then you would not live today. (Those who consider themselves miserable might think at these lines, \u201cIt would be better that I have never lived; I would have never had to fumble in this misery now.\u201d)<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Shake yourself up! Cast the burden off from your shoulders! Cast yourself into God\u2019s arms. If you have no strength, crawl, but move; get up from where you have fallen and cry out to Jesus! You have a Savior who leaves the 99 and goes out after one. Right now, you are that one. Throw yourself into what He says, \u201cAnd you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength\u201d (Mk. 12:30). Cast off the garment of self-pity, and whisper words of love to Him. Are you in need? Help those in need! \u201cAnd just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise\u201d (Lk. 6:31).<\/span><\/p>\n Never be offended! Do not allow snakes and scorpions to sting you. Muster up your strength and trample on the snakes and scorpions! \u201cBehold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you\u201d (Lk. 10:19). Snakes and scorpions are the traps of the enemy that aim to stop you and lead you astray from the Way of Love \u2013 the Love that makes you sacrifice, forgive and sow kindness\u2026 that gives you opportunity to reap the harvest of what you sowed. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Dive into Love\u2026 Love does not destroy; it protects. It is a strong tower. Love helps and gives you victory.<\/span><\/p>\n If was the Love for mankind that kept Jesus on the Cross. Today you are in the risen Jesus. Each person around is the one for whom Jesus was tortured, crucified and for whom He shed His blood. Love each one of them! Adorn your Love with WORKS! Ask God for wisdom to love as He wants you to love, so that your love can build up and manifest the glory, mercy and grace of God. The Lord is your Shepherd, and you will not want. Believe these words! Say them with the Psalmist!<\/span><\/p>\n The Lord is my shepherd;<\/span><\/p>\n I shall not want.<\/span><\/p>\n He makes me to lie down in green pastures;<\/span><\/p>\n He leads me beside the still waters.<\/span><\/p>\n He restores my soul;<\/span><\/p>\n He leads me in the paths of righteousness<\/span><\/p>\n For His name\u2019s sake.<\/span><\/p>\n Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,<\/span><\/p>\n I will fear no evil;<\/span><\/p>\n For You are with me;<\/span><\/p>\n Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.<\/span><\/p>\n You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;<\/span><\/p>\n You anoint my head with oil;<\/span><\/p>\n My cup runs over.<\/span><\/p>\n Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me<\/span><\/p>\n All the days of my life;<\/span><\/p>\n And I will dwell in the house of the Lord<\/span><\/p>\n Forever.<\/span><\/p>\n (Psalm 23:1-6).<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text] To all who are crushed, abandoned and despised\u2026 Take off the garment of self-pity!
