God's love is pursuing us

Psalm 23:6 (NLT)
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life,and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

This verse his my heart this morning, and I want to just say a couple things to you about it. Psalms 23 is not something new to most of us. We have heard it, maybe even memorized it, but most likely we take it for granted. Do ya think?

Remember? It reminds us that God walks with us through the deep valleys of death and darkness. It reminds us that God is our shepherd and provides all we need. Think about those things.

But the biggest thought for me today was that God's "goodness and unfailing love pursue" me. They pursue and come after us. As we seek God, He comes after us. Even when we don't seek God, god comes after us.

To think that God loves us enough to come after us is incredible. Romans 8:38-39 says nothing will or can separate us from God's love. His love is toward us and is coming after us.

Lets seek God, recognize His love and let His goodness and love hold us tight. Seek God!

Isaiah 55:6 (NASB)
Seek the LORD while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.

Matthew 6:33 (NLT)
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

Seeking God is what keeps us in touch with God and seeing Him do incredible things. I know that when I am not seeking Him, when I am not being refreshed spiritually, I am in trouble.

Lets seek God and watch and enjoy the fact that God's love is pursuing us every day!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
