The Lie In Life

I know The Lie in My Life!
I looked for a place to call Home
A place where my Heart would never be Alone
I fooled myself - I called around on the phone
When He who loved me true was near - I Wasn't Alone!

The Master made The Perfect Suggestion 
When He said to Buy His Eye Salve!
He is right
For I look 
But
I don't see what is really truly there for me!
I only have to think of Him and He is Here!
I only have to pray and the care disappears!

Would that I will Trust You, Lord!
Would that I will Forget the phones' cords!
Would that I will See quite plainly
That You Love me True ... and Honestly.

I choose today to Leave The Herd!
I choose today of The World to be Cured!
I choose Him who is Faithful
My Soul's Lover - My Friend
My Master - The Shepherd
Who Cares for His Flock Even After This Life's Journey Ends.

Father, 
Please Take The Lie Out Of This My Life
And 
Give Me Your True Life!

Vespers at the End of the Sabbath of The Lover of Your Soul

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that He GAVE His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

In this word from the disciple whom Jesus loved, and to whom He gave the greatest Revelation of the Ages, is the greatest love note ever written.

We, as Christians, must not go with the world in the belief that there is a "day" set aside for celebrating love! No!

Our Almighty God gave us the example of what the true celebration of love really is! Sacrifice!

God gave His best for us, so that we might be saved!

Love is not an emotion. Love IS!

Love is not acting. Love is action!

Love is caring enough to do enough to save the beloved.

Jesus Christ, the Lover of our souls, loved us enough to give the very best - His Life - for us!

How is that for love?

Now go and love someone ... in Jesus' Name!
