A Healthy Dose of Love - fr Kenneth Copeland

"Love...is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it--pays no attention to a suffered wrong."
(1 Corinthians 13:4-5)

Walking in love is good for your health. Did you know that?

It's true! Medical science has proven it. Researchers have discovered that hostility produces stress that causes ulcers, tension headaches, and a host of other ills.

Now when you think of hostility, you may think of the type of anger you feel when something serious happens. But according to the experts, that kind of thing isn't what causes the worst problems. It's the little things: when the dry cleaners ruin your favorite outfit, for example. Or when the cafeteria lady puts gravy on your mashed potatoes after you've specifically told her not to. Sound familiar?

Just think how much stress you could avoid by being quick to forgive, by living your life according to 1 Corinthians 13 and not counting up the evils done to you. Imagine physical and emotional benefits of living like that!

If you've allowed yourself to be habitually bound by hostility, that may sound like an impossible dream, but it's not! Because as a born-again believer, you have the love of God inside of you.

If you'll yield to that love, it will set you free. Remember when Jesus called Lazarus forth from the grave? He was alive but still bound in the grave clothes. Jesus commanded the bindings to be loosed so that Lazarus could be free to walk.

Jesus wants that same kind of freedom for you. So get into agreement with Him. Say to those deadly habits that have you bound, "In the Name of Jesus, loose me and let me go! I'm putting hostility, unforgiveness and selfishness behind me. I'm going on with God. I'm going to live the life of love!"

Remember: It doesn't take a medical miracle to turn your life around. All it takes is a decision to yield to the force of love. Do it today!

Show me the Path

This is the devotional from Seeds of the Kindgom...
Show me the path that I should walk O Lord. Point out the right road for me to travel. Lead me by your truth and teach me for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.
Psalm 25:4-5, NLT

There's a TV show in the U.S. that Andy and I really enjoy watching. During the show a group of contestants compete in various games to win prizes and privileges for their particular team.

One of the games they play involves a team member being blindfolded and having to navigate an obstacle course to a final destination. The blindfolded person has to rely on just one team member (a navigator), who is given a bird's eye view of the obstacle course, shouting out instructions. To watch the blind-folded team member struggle to hear their navigator's voice whilst dodging the obstacles is great fun - especially when there are three or four teams all competing at once.

The outcome of the game depends very much on the character of the person who's blindfolded. Sometimes you get blindfolded contestants who're just so desperate to win they don't even try to listen to their navigator. They just steam on ahead, tackling whatever comes their way, and usually end up causing themselves all kinds of harm. Other contestants may spend so much time standing still and trying to listen to the navigator and ensure that they're hearing right, that they never actually move. I think the wisest contestants (who often end up winning!) are the ones who tentatively step forward using their feet and hands to judge what's ahead while straining to hear the instructions of their navigator.

When I look back on my Christian life, there have been times when I've been like these contestants. It's as if I've been blindfolded and can't see the path that's ahead for me. It's a vulnerable and scary time, even though I know I'm on the path that God set for me. How amazing though that my Navigator, the Lord Jesus, sees the whole picture, and His directions are perfect. He guides me along the whole path that lies ahead of me and walks right by my side holding my hand. David said - ‘Yet I still belong to you; you are holding my right hand. You will keep on guiding me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny' (Psalm 73:23-24, NLT).'

When we surrender to the Lord's direction we can be like those wise contestants. We start to walk forward, yes perhaps tentatively and with caution, but secure in the knowledge He will keep us safe!

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I want so much to walk the paths that You have set for my life. Lord, please will You give me courage to walk Your ways. Give me ears to hear Your voice. Give me hope , knowing Your plans are always for my good. And lastly, give me an unshakable peace in the knowledge that You walk right by my side, holding my hand. Amen.

I really love this song, it reminds me of the love of Father in heaven. He really loves us all UNCONDITIONALLY... Forgives unceasingly... Pick us up unfailingly...



All for love the Father gave
For only love could make a way
All for love the heavens cried
For love was crucified

Oh how many times have I broken Your heart
But still You forgive
If only I ask
And how many times have You heard me pray
Draw near to me

Everything I need is You
My beginning, my forever
Everything I need is You

Let me sing all for love
I will join the angels song
Ever holy is the Lord
King of Glory
King of all

All for a love a Saviour prayed
Abba Father have Your way
Though they know not what they do
Let the Cross draw man to You
