THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT!

7-26-2016. . . .THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT!

"—   that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in. And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love,  you'll be able to take in with all Christians the extravagant dimensions of Christ's love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights!  Live full lives, full in the fullness of God."  (Eph 3:16-19 MSG)  No matter how loudly the voices of hatred cry aloud and spare not, Love yet prevails.  It cannot be eradicated, must not be placated, and will never be eliminated as long as it remains resident and flourishing in the hearts of His people.  Hatred can't rise high enough to get over it; can't sink low enough to get under it, and can't stretch far enough to get around it!  The long and short of it is, Love trumps hate!

PRAYER: Thank you for filling us with your wonderful love.  Help us to be purveyors of your love everywhere we go!  Amen.

Rom 12:20-21. . . .Our Scriptures tell us that if you see your enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he's thirsty, get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness.  Don't let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good.
