To love is more than words, it is completely practical, hospitality, good deeds, taking care of the other, first and foremost those who are born again John 3. Our brothers and sisters in Jesus first.

John 13:34-35
Known in the story of the husband who addresses his wife while she is doing the dishes. He strokes his wife's hair and says gently and lovingly to her: I love you... The wife also answers back in gentle terms: Then take the dishcloth and help me dry off...

Love has many forms of expression, we all know that. But a love that is not expressed is empty and meaningless.

Just as a faith that is not expressed is empty and meaningless.
Jesus said to his disciples: A new commandment I give you:
LOVE ONE ANOTHER JUST AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. THE LOVE YOU HAVE
FOR ONE ANOTHER WILL SHOW THE WORLD THAT YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES.

So this is not an easy solution: “As much as I have loved you” – a love that is impossible to imitate and live up to from a human perspective. Yet Jesus gives us this instruction to follow.

“THE LOVE YOU HAVE FOR ONE ANOTHER WILL SHOW THE WORLD THAT YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES”
One of the great characteristics of being disciples of Jesus is that we live out this mutual love, and thereby show those around us that we are disciples of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ!
The world around us is filled with hatred, war and violence and people seeking love in different ways and under different circumstances. A world without acceptance and love and forgiveness – a world where everyone is closest to themselves and the maker of their own happiness.

Jesus says that with our lives we must reflect that we have met LOVE and experienced LOVE – and are willing to share this LOVE with others.

May God help us to be aware of this commandment from Jesus in our time.
Then faith, hope and love remain these three, but the greatest of them is LOVE

The fruit of the Spirit of God’s love is not your own
amen

Which side are you on?
Most "Christians" are church Christians in the last days according to God's prophetic word = Laodicean Christians. John. Rev. 3 from verse 1.

INSTEAD OF CHRIST CHRISTIANS ACCORDING TO PAUL'S GOSPEL.
ROM.16 - 25 " BUT TO HIM WHO IS ABLE TO STRENGTHEN YOU THROUGH MY GOSPEL AND THE MESSAGE OF JESUS ​​CHRIST ACCORDING TO THE REVELATION OF A MYSTERY THAT WAS KEPT KEPT FOR ETERNAL TIMES."
GAL.2-20 " AND IT IS NO LONGER I WHO LIVE, BUT CHRIST LIVES IN ME."
2 COR. 5-17 " THEREFORE IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATURE; THE OLD THINGS HAVE GONE, BEHOLD, NEW THINGS HAVE BECOME."

PHIL.1-21 " FOR TO ME TO LIVE IS CHRIST AND TO DIE IS LOSS."

COL.3-16 " LET THE WORD OF CHRIST DWELL IN YOU RICHLY, TEACHING AND ADMISSING ONE ANOTHER IN ALL WISDOM, SINGING WITH GRATEFULNESS IN YOUR HEARTS TO GOD."
2 COR.13-5 "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not that Jesus Christ is in you? Otherwise ye cannot stand the test."

Stick to the fire, and ye shall always be warm; if ye walk away from the fire, ye shall first be lukewarm, then cold; yea, ye are religious with much talk, but without the fruit of the Spirit.

Where are ye today?
amen

Read the context, verses refer to..

The book of Proverbs ends with the description of the capable woman. The last verses of the book of Proverbs are used every Sabbath, where the husband reads them over his wife at the Sabbath meal.
In chap. 31 verse. 27 it says:

SHE MONITORS WHAT HAPPENS IN HER HOUSE, SHE DOES NOT EAT THE BREAD OF LAZINESS.

The capable woman is described as a woman who does not leave much to chance. She has control of her home, and increases its prosperity and security.

The Hebrew word for monitor is tspah צָפָה. Normally the word is used to describe a watchman who keeps a close eye on what is happening.

Keeping an eye on your field or your sheep was a crucial part of life in Bible times. Prosperity or loss was determined by whether you were alert to potential enemies.

But the word is also used spiritually to look for the Lord and watch for when He will intervene. It is a form of prayer where you direct your attention to Him who can help.
This is how David uses it, for example, in Psalm 5:4:

LORD, IN THE MORNING YOU HEAR MY VOICE, IN THE MORNING I PRESENT MY CASE AND S-P-E-J-D-E-R FOR AN ANSWER But the word tsafah is also the word for being a watchman, but in the form “to be a watchman”. Being a watchman is not a title but something you are doing. For example, in Jeremiah 6:17: “I will set watchmen over you, listen to the horn.”

But they answer: “We will not!” However, there is an interesting use of the word that says something about what the watchmanship accomplishes, because in some places the word is used to describe covering something.
For example, in the account of the construction of the tabernacle where the pillars are covered with gold, Exodus 36:36.

The connection between the two meanings is that what you watch over, you cover.

We also know in Danish the expression “TO COVER IN PRAYER”. When you watch over someone, you make sure that there is no opportunity for the enemy to come in and destroy.

ARE YOU ONE WHO WATCHES OVER WHAT GOD HAS ENCOURAGED YOU?

Have a blessed day! Thank you to those of you who pray in a special way.

Be aware of all sins are hidden in Jesus this also applies to others you think do this and that wrong. Do not judge and you will not be judged yourself.

It is completely ok you say you are not alone in what others do and you do not do it but remain in love do not put yourself higher than others Stay in Jesus
amen

Read the context, verse refers to..

King Solomon warns against giving a pledge for another person. Because how can you promise something for another? You don't know how they will manage the trust you show them. It can go really wrong if, for example, you provide a financial guarantee or are involved in a project where several people are mutually liable.
Solomon encourages us to think before we go into promising something for others. My son, if you have given security for another, given a handshake for a stranger, then you are bound by what you yourself have said, you are trapped by what you yourself have said.
Proverbs. 6,1-2

Every day we meet strangers from other countries, how do we react? Do we show them love, care, and welcome them into our homes?’

The issue of promising something on behalf of others became a discussion in relation to infant baptism in early church history. At the end of the 2nd century, the church father Tertullian was skeptical of the (new) tradition of baptizing children, because how could one as a godfather guarantee the Christian upbringing of the little children? What if they grew up and did not want to follow the Lord, or what if the godfathers died, then one could not fulfill the promise?

In the New Testament we also hear about the word pledge, but here it is Paul who speaks of the Holy Spirit as a pledge.

“AND HE WHO BOTH JOINS US AND YOU INTO CHRIST AND WHO ANOINTED US IS GOD, WHO ALSO SEALED US AND GAVE US THE HOLY SPIRIT AS A DEPOSIT IN OUR HEARTS”. 2 Cor. 1:21-22

Here the pledge is used as an expression that God provides security for us.

One may wonder why God would give a silent assurance to people, but it is nevertheless the case.

BY GIVING YOU THE HOLY SPIRIT, GOD HAS BOUND HIMSELF TO YOU WITH A PLEDGE.
The Hebrew word for “SILENT PLEDGE” is the word arav עָרַב and the word has to do with mixing two things together. Therefore, the word can also be used to mean evening עֶרֶב עָרֶב עָרַעוּ, because it is the time when light and darkness are mixed. The word is also used in the word for Arabs (a mixture of 2 peoples) and it is used of the mixed crowd that went out after Moses from Egypt Exodus 12:38

GOD HAS MIXED HEAVEN WITH EARTH IN YOUR LIFE BY GIVING YOU THE HOLY SPIRIT AS A SUPERNATURAL GIFT.

The Holy Spirit shows that God is on your side in the battles of life and that He makes His means available to help you. And he is powerful to help you with all challenges.
Have a blessed day and DO NOT forget the Holy Spirit!

You must have the life of the Holy Spirit in you, Jesus in you

Take Jesus with you in all things, you cannot walk alone without the Light in you, then you will fall and not see the stones before you hit yourself

amen

Read the context, verses refer to..

You are in a world full of suffering people who need love and care.
I am one of them and you are you too – In one way or another we have all experienced being hurt. Maybe by our parents, maybe kindergarten or school or high school, maybe by broken relationships or by the society in which we live - and, unfortunately, there are many places where we can experience hurt and being hurt by our neighbor.

WHEN JESUS ​​WENT AWAY, A LARGE CROWD WAS ALREADY WAITING FOR HIM. AT THE VIEW OF THE MANY PEOPLE HE WAS FILLED WITH COMPASSION
AND HE HEALED THOSE WHO WERE SICK. Matthew 14:14

Jesus shows care and love for those who suffer.
HE WAS MOVE WITH COMPASSION
The Greek word used here actually means that one's inner being is moved by strong emotions. The deepest part of Jesus' emotional capacity was and still is sincere compassion for the suffering in the world - including you and me.

It is you who must love your fellow human beings and show them care even when they are sick.

Let us ask God today to form us in the image of Jesus, so that we too become aware and sensitive to the sorrow and pain that people around us carry.

Are you willing to show genuine care?
Caring is reaching out to your neighbor. You can offer your help or you can listen to the challenges your neighbor is experiencing.

You can invite them for coffee, tea, food, show your hospitality.
You can help when your neighbor has difficulties and needs someone to share his challenges with.
Care can be shown in countless ways. Sometimes we are reserved, and think that our neighbor must handle it himself.

But precisely by showing genuine interest and care, we help with our lives to point to Jesus, who showed care and love for those he met on his way.

It is not enough to just say. Find some leisure interests, find a social place or..

Always be hospitable even when it does not suit you so and so comes, they come to be served and serve you themselves

Never close your door to anyone, even if you may think oh no not the wise God love.
amen

Read the context, verse refers to..

Do you use your brought value talent in the kingdom of God? Do you put the fruit of the Spirit that you share with others?

WHAT IS YOUR COMPASSION WORTH?

Unfortunately, it can sometimes be the same with love for our neighbor. Good works do not make you a Christian, but a Christian does good works!

BY GRACE YOU ARE SAVED THROUGH FAITH. IT IS NOT DUE TO YOURSELVES. IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD. IT IS NOT DUE TO WORKS, SO SOME CAN BOAST. FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS ​​UNTO GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD PREPARED IN ADVANCE THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM. Eph. 2:8-10

It is the faith you received at your new birth John 3

It is in the life of faith love that God has prepared for you that you live and do, in the life of the Holy Spirit. Not in the life of your own works.

God's Word speaks clearly about our responsibility to reach out, show care, love and help our neighbors - not with words but with deeds. It may involve material help to those in need, or it may involve words of encouragement, a call or that we listen to people and help people who are struggling.

There are countless opportunities - Be prepared to walk in what God has prepared for you to do!

We must reach out to others - and we must reach out to each other, as children of God.

THEREFORE I GIVE YOU THIS NEW COMMANDMENT, LOVE ONE ANOTHER JUST AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.
THE LOVE YOU HAVE FOR ONE ANOTHER WILL SHOW THE WORLD THAT YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES John 13:34-35

It is sometimes uphill and difficult, but listen to what Paul writes:
LET US NOT BE TIRED OF DOING WHAT IS RIGHT, FOR IF WE DO NOT LOSE THE COURAGE
AND GIVE UP, WE SHOULD SOON REAP THE BLESSING.
THEREFORE WE SHOULD, AS FAR AS WE CAN, BE KIND TO EVERYONE AND ESPECIALLY TO OTHER CHRISTIANS.
Gal. 6:9-10

May God bless us to be a channel for God’s care and love to those we meet. We pray for each other today, including our Christian brothers and sisters.
amen

CALL ON GOD

We are church and theology neutral. We build on the apostle's teachings, with Jesus as the head. We build on the Car, the Word of God. Everything is free, without copyright. All content may be freely shared, used everywhere

Read the context, verses refer to.

Call on God in faith, you will receive what your heart believes.

God is in his Word dear friend, you will meet God's word either as your judge or blessing. If you follow Jesus, the Word of God, Psalm 1 you will feel good in all life's circumstances. Call on God now.

Psalm 57:1-3

I think almost all of us have tried to be in an almost desperate situation where we have called on God. Maybe it was something harmless, but we felt we desperately needed God’s intervention to get us through, or we’ve sat by a hospital bed while a friend or family member was dying or seriously ill – we know the feeling of desperation and a cry for God in the midst of the situation.

OH MY GOD, BE MERCIFUL AND MERCIFUL TO ME FOR I CRY TO YOU IN MY DIFFICULTY. I SEEK SHELTER UNDER YOUR WINGS UNTIL THE STORM IS OVER. I CRY TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD FOR HE WILL LEAD ME THROUGH TO VICTORY. HE WILL SEND ME HELP FROM HEAVEN, HE WILL SAVE ME FROM ALL MY ENEMIES. HE IS FAITHFUL AND GOOD TO ME. Psalm 57:1-4

You can’t escape the storms of life, what do you do? How do you react? Sink into self-pity? Do you blame everything and everyone or do you call on God?

I have noticed that there is also a difference between when we pray and when we desperately need God’s intervention. In prayer we bring many things to God, we empty our hearts to God, so to speak, while trying to hear what He has to say to us. When we call upon God in great need, it is different.

Our emotions run wild, whether it is fear, sadness or anxious hope, our approach to God is different. The Bible actually talks about different ways in which we call upon God in desperation. We call on God in desperation Matt 14:29-30

THEN PETER CRIED: IF IT IS REALLY YOU LORD, TELL ME THAT I SHALL COME OUT ON THE WATER..” COME, JESUS ​​SAID

Or we call on God, helplessly 2 Chronicles 20:9-12 or we call on God with great faith Psalm 34:18

THE LORD HEARES THE CRY OF THE RIGHTEOUS FOR HELP HE SAVES HIM IN HIS DIFFICULTIES...

Regardless of how we call on God, the Bible says again and again that He listens to us. In the wilderness, God heard when Moses cried out to Him and answered his cry. Exodus 17:3-7

Our heavenly FATHER wants us to call on Him, to call on His name in difficulties and the unmanageable things we may be in the midst of. Have you also tried calling on Him in FAITH, He listens to you and when we do not know what to pray for ourselves, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groanings that cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26

IN THE SAME WAY THE SPIRIT COMES TO HELP US IN OUR POWERLESSNESS. WHEN WE CANNOT EVEN FIND WORDS

TO PRAY AS WE SHOULD, THE SPIRIT ITSELF INTERCEDES

FOR US, WITH GRIEVINGS THAT CANNOT BE WORSHIPPED FOR.

Now let go of your protests and opposition to the Word of God, receive God's unrighteous hand for you. Cry out to God

amen
