Joy Cry

Hebrews 13:5-7

5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,

"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you."

6 So we say with confidence,

"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"

7 Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.

Has Jesus ever made you cry?
Yesterday, as I wrote words and words
Of unconscious thoughts
I felt this urge to look up a few verses in Hebrews
And I found in Luke, by “accident”, the passage where Jesus
Forgives a sinner woman who washed his feet with tears.
He tells Simon the woman was forgiven because she had loved much
We all know love covers a multitude of sins
But when our Lord reminds us directly
It has a special meaning
…it brought tears of joy to my eyes…
My dearest friend, don’t get so caught up in the
Busyness of life
That you have no time to love.
Don’t get so immersed in self
That you can’t give a hug, a kiss, a smile…a word of encouragement,
To that special person the Lord has placed in your life at this very moment
We all need love deeply.
No one can truly say of love "enough is enough"
Love is that which can always be given more and more
Treat each person with divine LOVE.
Give and it shall be given unto you.

May the Lord's light shine brightly on you today!

Yours,

Janet.
