Triple C News - January 27
Hey, everyone!
What an awesome day!! Sunshine all day!! And even if not…
You can get up, get a cup, and open up God’s Word AND your heart and make some sunshine for even the cloudiest, rainiest day!!
So, I have all these journals I write in everyday…
I write down stuff that super helps me that I read in the Scriptures in the morning…
along with thoughts and prayers that come into my heart…
And sometimes if something random jumps into my brain that I need to remember, I write that, too! Mostly in the margins or up on top of the page. That way, I have it down and won’t forget it so I don’t get distracted from the work of waking up and warming up that sleepy heart of mine!
Altho’ if I look back thru old notebooks, I don’t always remember what I was remembering!
F’r example, I read (because I wrote it one day)…
“Every Awesome Day Goes By Easily”
“Huh??”
Then I remembered that that’s what I thought up to remember the notes of the guitar strings! EADGBE!
Or one scribble said, “Cookies…Tues and Thurs”. (No idea!)
The other day I found something that I wrote down when I must have been reading Luke, chapter 1 where it says that the Promised King (Jesus Who was on the way!) would be like “the rising sun…from heaven to shine on those living in darkness…” (Luke 1, verses 78 and 79)
So, while I was thinking of that…
and so I wouldn’t forget…
I wrote this…(btw, I had a time reading some of this because it was pretty scribbly!)
“Luke says that Jesus is like the sun…always shining…
Even when it’s dark and stormy, above the clouds the sun is always shining.
If I or someone doubts the love of God…
that ‘God would/could love me…He loves others but I struggle to believe He loves me’,…
Actually, this is doubting that GOD IS LOVE!
He IS love! He’s not just ‘loving’! He IS LOVE! His essence is LOVE!
He is like the sun…always shining everywhere on everyone!
Not because they’re ‘worthy’ but because they are alive and the sun IS the sun! And the sun shines! That’s what it does!
Jesus wants me to not only believe in Him, but to believe that He IS love!
If I don’t believe He is love, I don’t really believe in Him!
To believe with all my heart, yet to believe that He is less than Who He actually is, isn’t really believing in HIM!
Worship is simply loving the God Who IS love!
If you don’t love worshipping God, maybe it’s because you believe that the God you worship is less than LOVE!
To believe in Jesus, Who IS love, I HAVE TO BELIEVE IN LOVE!
To love Jesus, Who IS love, I have to LOVE LOVE!…”
It’s funny but I was glad I found this because I needed to remember all of that this week!
I needed to remember what I had jotted down to not forget!
And I was glad I could read my scribbles!
