"To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer for that person. If someone slaps you in the face, stand there and take it. If someone grabs your shirt, giftwrap your best coat and make a present of it. If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously."
..Message version of 1 John 4 "God is Love".
..
My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn't know the first thing about God, because God is love--so you can't know him if you don't love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about--not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they've done to our relationship with God. My dear, dear friends, if God loved us like this, we certainly ought to love each other. No one has seen God, ever. But if we love one another, God dwells deeply within us, and his love becomes complete in us--perfect love!

Here's a video of one of DecembeRadio's song that I love
When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being.
When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils.
But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man.
I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.
Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity.
From one bone, I fashioned you.
I chose the bone that protects man's life. I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him as you are meant to do.
Around this one bone, I shaped you....... I molded you.
I created you perfectly and beautifully.
Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile.
You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart.
His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life.
The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.
You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him.
You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to him.
You are my perfect angel.....You are my beautiful little girl.
You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart.
Your eyes......don't change them.
Your lips-how lovely when they part in prayer.
Your hands so gentle to touch.
I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep.
I've held your heart close to mine.
Of all that lives and breathes, you are most like me.
Adam walked with me in the cool of the day, yet he was lonely.
He could not see me or touch me.
He could only feel me.
So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you; my holiness, my strength, my purity, my love, my protection and support..
You are special because you are an extension of me.
Man represents my image, woman my emotions.
Together, you represent the totality of God.
"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation." 2 Corinthians 5:17-19
I have dreams, hopes, and desires I give to God because they all matter and matter very much to God because He says, "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life within you" (Proverbs 4:23)
I praise Him because He is shaping me in an amazing and wonderful way. What He is doing is wonderful and I am becoming to know this very well. (Psalm 139:14)

The fog has finally cleared to see,
The beautiful life you’ve given me
To feel the breeze of my newborn’s gentle breath
With one to walk hand in hand,
To share this life that you have planned
It’s like a storybook with dreams
That are meant to see every next step is an extraordinary scene
[CHORUS]
I know that I’ve been,
Given more than beyond measure,
I come alive when,
I see beyond my fears
I know that I’ve been given more than earthly treasure,
I come alive when
I’ve broken down and given you control
I’ve faced a great tragedy,
But have seen the works of what you bring
A display of faith that you give,
I don’t know if I will ever understand
The depth of what it is you’ve done inside,
But I know that I will won’t find any worth apart from you
Everything that I have
Has been given so unselfishly
And shown that even when I don’t deserve
You always show the fullness of your love

In a breath of endless time speaks a word I hope you find. Seeking early, seeking late, seeking a smile upon this face. Gathered pieces all around, broken pieces have I found, of this heart that I hold true, a whisper of hope from me to you. I have this beautiful friend you see who is precious beyond words to me. There is a song that I sing and I pray you too hear its ring. It pours out from my heart where it sits nestled deep. You are my friend… it is your peace I seek.
Love doesn't strut, have a swelled head, force itself on others, Isn't always "me first," doesn't fly off the handle, doesn't keep score of the sins of others, and doesn't revel when others grovel.
Love takes pleasure in the flowering of truth.
Love endures.
Love trusts God always, always looks for the best, never looks back, but keeps going to the end.
Love never dies."
"Father, I need Your love. Come to the core of my heart. Come and bring Your love for me. Help me to know You as the True Father You really are. Reveal Yourself to me. Reveal Your love for me. Come, and father me."
"Just as I am, without one plea, But that thy blood was shed for me, And that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come! I come!"
I accepted Jesus on Tuesday, September 6, 1983 @ 7pm in Lisa's home in Lenoir, NC.
Past the sliver called today on the edge of tomorrow where dreams are made I venture through shallow streams in hope of finding the river deep. I plunge head first into these thoughts, unraveling the mystery that I have sought, to see the picture crystal clear, the face of my precious friend that I hold dear. And when the fog rises with the dew I will not stop in my pursuit, for sadness and fear stay on the roam, but here in my heart you always have a home.
Hi Leah! Long time! Just wanted to wish you a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving. God's been so good. Have a great time in the Lord with your family- Phil & the boys
I carefully consider my words as I paint this portrait grand, for no amount of beautiful can really explain my friend. I peer into the deep where thoughts are born and breath, soaking in every word that whispers for me to keep. I long for more… to know this precious soul, to bring the sun and a happy dance through this open door. Sometimes sorrow seeps where the lonely willows weep, but the shallow ground that is seen through the surface is never the heart I see. So I will paint this portrait grand in hope the world sees how beautiful… how precious… you really are to me.

May you feel His arms around you and
know that His hands are there, helping you
turn your feeble attempts into true masterpieces.
Remember, God doesn't call the equipped,
He equips the 'called.'
Life is more accurately measured by the lives
you touch than by the things you acquire.
