Jesus Thirsting for You
Posted in encouraging verse, God, Jesus, love, tagged God, Jesus, love, Mother Teresa, pain on May 5, 2013| 4 Comments »
Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers. I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked” (2 Corinthians 11:25-28).
Valentine’s Day Revolution

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in distress.
James 1:27
Let’s start a Valentine’s Day Revolution!
On Valentine’s Day, it is natural to focus our attention on those we love. However, I would like to challenge us to be just as aware of those who desperately need love. It is easier to ignore the pain that Valentine’s Day invokes for some people than to enter into the distress of the heartbroken, isolated, and lonely. Let’s deliberately and intently search for people that we can show God’s gracious compassion and unrelenting love. Let’s look for practical ways to demonstrate this love and “look after” those living with a relationship void.
Please share this idea with your friends: Remember orphans, widows, and the heartbroken on Valentine’s Day.
If you are in emotional pain, please know that there is hope. God is “closer to you than the blood in your veins.” Many encouraging words can be found on my Dad’s blog, Your Story Matters.

But you, God, see the trouble of the

Psalm 10:14

~
The Lord builds up Jerusalem (and those who are grieving)
He gathers the exiles …
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and His ears are attentive to their cry.
~
Cry out to God Most High …
He sends from heaven and saves you, …
God sends His love and His faithfulness.
He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
~
Whoever who dwells in the shelter of the Most
High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under His wings you will find refuge
His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
