Luke 10:27 <\/b>– And he answering said, Thou shalt <\/b>love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.<\/b><\/p>\nTHOUGHT FOR THE DAY<\/h2>\n
Throughout my life there have been many instances where I wanted to get upset because of some situation and act upon my frustration. It is safe to say that every human being in the world faces this challenge. Let us remind ourselves today that actions and words coming out of our own hatred and anger will not change anything, but in fact turn you away from the love of God. Remember how that acts of love<\/strong>, no matter how great the trials we are facing, have a greater impact than acts of hate. If your act of love<\/strong> is to simply hold your peace after someone worked against you then you must show God\u2019s love and preserve your peace!<\/p>\n This concept of merciful thinking may be hard to implant into our minds yet we recall that the word of God teaches us to deal with persecution by rejoicing in our tribulation. I can assure you that without the strength only received by the joy of the Lord that finding peace of mind will be difficult.\u00a0 In fact, by attempting to interpret this concept within our own ideals we may find ourselves laughing as Abraham and Sarah did as they attempted to believe in their elder ages of what seemed like an impossible turn of events that God had spoken would come to pass (about the birth of their future son Isaac).<\/p>\nPUT INTO PRACTICE<\/h2>\n
