LOVE Expressed?

St. Valentines Day.

The romantics in us will perhaps mark this day with the card, roses, box of something nice and the meal? Some will do it as an appreciation of the wife/husband other to get that partner into bed for a randy night of passion?

But this is not what St. Valentine is all about, but rather expressing Christian love to those who are without, the poor, the immigrant, the refuges, the homeless and so the list can go on and on? What is involved is putting yourself out for others, a meal, a blanket, clean clothing, a chat, showing interest and concern for what they have are and possibly might go through!

It about showing the love of Jesus, if what we claim is real in that we know the Lord Jesus as our saviour? We have to show His compassion, because any of us could fall and end up on the streets, be homeless or addicted to something?

Matthew 9:36, 15:32, Ephesians 2:4,  1 John 4:10-11, 19.

The cost of being a Believer. ONE.

NO SHAME.

Shame today has become a twisted word, meaning not what is supposed to mean. Many people are ashamed to be called a Christian its soppy, expresses weakness.

Jesus went to the cross and took our shame on Him. He was afraid, but not ashamed.

What ever is your excuses this easter, lay them aside and trun to Jesus and find Eternity in your hearts and minds.

Acts 11:26,   26:28,  1 Peter 4:11.
