Real, selfless love

Chairein: the joy of the Lord to you:


These past few days have been really tumultuous spiritually. Attack after attack through my precious loved ones as well as in the spirit. I am so sorrowful and broken that some of my family members are so blinded to truth!
 How long O Lord God must I suffer at the hand of my family? How long must I endure judgmental people that judge others by their own perverted viewpoint? how long must others call the 'red balloon' black, purple, or green? Oh YHVH please deliver me from this pain and torture please? I struggle daily against the enemy, and every time the wicked one uses my loved ones against me it is a hard blow to my heart. I am not angry, or bitter. I am so very very very hurt and wounded at their being used as a tool of the accuser. Will I have to leave Arkansas permanently to escape this, or will it be the same wherever I go? must I wear a mask to be liked by people? please dear LORD, surround me with people that really love You and that will really love others as You love.
 Real love, pure, Christlike love, does not judge others. It does not gossip, it does not believe bad reports. It loves despite failures, mistakes, screw-ups and faults. It looks beyond the outer rim and framework and into the heart. If it hears others berating or cursing somebody they stop them. if it hears gossip it asks the person it's about if it's true or not. Love does not abandon when people are most in need of help. It makes itself available to help anyone in need, regardless of who they are or what they've done. Love sacrifices self to serve the LORD because a person cannot serve the LORD when they serve themselves.

 "My times are in thy hand; deliver me from the hands of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me." -Psalms 31:15

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also." Matthew 5:38-40

" Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
  Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 5:10-16

^"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."
Matthew 5:43-48

If you don't like the truth....if you don't LOVE the Truth...sorry. But it's still true, regardless of what you want to believe.

To my readers I would appreciate any and all prayers that you can pray for me and my loved ones please? thank you. Also any other scripture or thoughts you may have are welcome. If you have anything private you wish to say, you may email me.

Shalom,
