Job 29 reminds me of the first works, that which delivering judges do with the help of God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430586908363955777.post-36161012315507208472010-07-05T14:22:32.105-07:002010-07-05T14:22:32.105-07:00For years as a manager I would always invite Holy ...For years as a manager I would always invite Holy Spirit into the business the first day I arrived to take over the operation.

These two commandments cover ALL the law and the prophets. Our relationship with God first, and our relationship with others (our brethren and even our enemies!) How can I love others when I find it hard, (nigh impossible!) to love a wretched sinner such as I? ONLY with God's love for me, which hates the sin, but loves the sinner - He loves me anyway! If He can do that for me, then I MUST love others the same way - selflessly, and unconditionally - regardless of their mess. My mess was probably worse, but God forgave me it. The mind of Christ, which we are to have, looks at their need, and points to Him, for He IS the Way, He IS the Truth and He IS the Life! The simplicity of Christ is Him in us, and us in Him, glorifying Him alone in all that we think, do and say.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07815426611984364386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430586908363955777.post-73850768812898348622010-07-04T12:27:53.783-07:002010-07-04T12:27:53.783-07:00Thank you for reminding us of the essence of what ...Thank you for reminding us of the essence of what we way we believe...your writings cut to the quick!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920787877235632472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430586908363955777.post-22507565318805836402010-07-04T11:33:49.293-07:002010-07-04T11:33:49.293-07:00This my dear brother Frank, is worth framing and p...This my dear brother Frank, is worth framing and placing it on the wall in the living room of our hearts.Christinenoreply@blogger.com
