John 2-My love for your house burn in me like a fire
1 Chronicles 10-11-Battle hero stories
Zechariah 1-my temple will stand again
Isaiah 61.7-11-the LORD God will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations
Ephesians 2.11-13-you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ
Psalm 136-his steadfast love endures forever
"She’s about as far along as she can go."- A friend’s statement about his wife in her pregnancy – a pre-mature birth in the making- He has a love and a battle all wrapped up in one—his love for his wife and child burn within him like a fire- a passion and deep love for life- I think that is the love Jesus had for the house of God- for the church in the sense that Jesus means- for the children of God- a love so deep he gave everything for the church- he knows that even though the church may be sinful – the church will stand again- in all glory- and Jesus love for his church is a deep love – a steadfast love- the endures forever- a love greater than we can imagine- a love that goes beyond all sin- and for me- I thank God that even in my sin- I can repent and God will bring me close once again by the blood of Christ- without which I would be eternally lost- and for this love I will praise God all my life- forgive me Lord- "She’s about as far along as she can go."- send me today with your deep love to serve you in your kingdom.
Prayer- Thanks Lord for your deep love- your care for people and your care for your church- you are loving and caring and compassionate and fill all needs for all. -- Amen
