Love and Happiness
 Love can be defined in many ways and often means different things to different people. So let’s start with a few of the simple definitions. Love is a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties such as the maternal love for a child. For others, love is simply attraction based on sexual desire: affection and tenderness felt by lovers. However, the definition that I am most thankful for is the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another: as the fatherly concern of God for humankind.
I am so thankful that God loves me as much as he does. When I stop and take just a moment to reflect of his love and care for me, my heart is overwhelmed with joy. I can truly understand the scripture in John 15:13 -Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
In a day and time when people are looking for love in all the wrong places; it is comforting to know that God always has and always will love me unconditionally. (Deut. 7:7 -The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people :) Lets me know that God had his own reason for loving us. It wasn’t anything special that we had done. Neither was it because we were so great or that we deserved it. I don’t have to earn his love, chase it or be abused by it. His love will never abuse/hurt me, back stab me, or cheat on me. (Romans 13:10 - Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.) I can feel safe with his love, I don’t have to fear for his love is perfect (1 John 4:18). Therefore when I feel safe I am happy, and as the saying goes, “I am happy with Jesus”.
Happiness is defined as a state of well-being and contentment, a pleasurable and satisfying experience. What could better define the love relationship with Christ and his believers better than a state of happiness? (Psalm 144:15b) He picks me up when I’m down, he comforts me when I’m lonely, he cheers me when I’m sad. What a perfect relationship. So from this day forward know that you can love and be loved by God, simply for being who you are. Also know that God desires for you to be happy and to have the best in life. (3 John 1:2) So love and be loved by God and be happy.

From The Pastor's Desk.jpg) FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK Against All Odds!
2 Timothy1:12 - For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
In the book of Exodus we read of Moses who had a speech impediment, yet God sent him before King Pharaoh to plead the case of the children of Israel. All odds were against them, they did not know which way to turn, or how they would gain their freedom. But God! took them from being in bondage to crossing the Red Sea . Against all odds once again, the Lord brought them across the Red Sea on dry ground and gave them the victory. It was Moses’ faith that wrought God’s great deliverance, even though the odds seem to be stacked against them. Trust God to bring deliverance in your life. No matter what the odds look like, No matter what the doctor says, no matter what the economy is doing. Have A Little Faith and believe that God has not forgotten about us, and he will do what he promised.
Webster’s dictionary defines the word odds as being, the probability that one thing is so or will happen rather than another. I want you to trust and believe that when God is on your side the odds are always in your favor. Just don’t make the mistake of thinking you can make God do what he doesn’t want to do, but trust his plan. Lets take a look at Gideon in Judges 7.
Gideon was chosen by God to lead the nation from Midianite oppression. He showed up with a force of 32,000 soldiers, he was greatly outnumbered by the opposition’s army which numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Instead of telling Gideon to gather more men, he shockingly stated: “The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel claim glory for itself against me” (Judges 7:2). He whittled the Hebrew army down to 10,000 but still considered it too large and prone to pride. When he got it down to 300, he was satisfied and was now ready to give them the victory.
You don’t have to be a statistician or military expert to know that 300 men do not defeat more than a hundred thousand under any circumstances. But that’s the point. God was teaching Israel to fight by faith and not by sight. No matter what the odds may be against you just remember, if God is for you he is more than the whole world against you. The Lord on your side the odds are no longer against you, but are now in your favor. Be blessed.In the Master’s Service, Pastor Jerome Elliott Soul FoodIt takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and a lifetime to forget them. Love is like the wind, you can't see it, but you can feel it.
The greatest thing you'll every learn, is just to love and be loved in return.... Never forget that the most powerful force on earth is love. Never carry a frown because you never know who may fall in love with your smile! The love in your heart wasn't put there to stay. Love isn't love until you give it a way. Great love and great achievements involve taking great risks. Love knows no limit to its endurance no end to its trust, Love still stands when all else has fallen. The greatest acts of love are done by those who habitually perform small acts of kindness. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind. Sometimes we make love with our eyes. Sometimes we make love with our hands. Sometimes we make love with our bodies. Always we make love with our hearts. Counterhits |
