His Love – The Saturday Morning Post by Camille Stahl

Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Who gave himself for us, HIS LOVE

Close your eyes and think with me. Your in your yard sitting by a stream listening to the water flowing. You can smell the pure air and the fresh flowers near by. Inside your home there is a nice soft pillow you lay your head down on each night. A king sized down comforter to keep you warm. You ware the finest clothes, you eat the best food. You sit in a big comfy chair. There are always friends and family around you who love you. No one ever speaks an evil word.

Then you have to move. You can’t take anything with you. You are going alone. You know you have to go. There are people there who really need you. What now!

At first it’s not too bad. Your in a safe, warm comfortable place, with all the food and water you want. There’s a little bouncing around for awhile and then your there. Hmmmm. Things are different here. The first thing you hear are the sounds of sheep (baaa – baaa). Goats chewing on straw. There are no more smells of fresh air and flowers, just farm animals. There is no more soft pillow or comforter, just the hay the animals eat. The only clothes you have is something they call “swaddling”. At this point I would have turned back. In the beginning the food’s not bad but as the years go on, it’s mostly fish and flat bread, yum. Your comfy chair has become what they call a manger. And if that doesn’t get you down, there are only a few people who really love you. Evil words! You hear them often. Shortly after you arrive, some guy wants to kill you. Your on the move again. But in the end, well. I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t have moved. Would you?

HIS LOVE. (John15:13)
