Stand in His love


It is almost Christmas.  It is only a few days away.  But some of the people around us see this as a time for being lonely and depressed.  There is a sense of loss and struggle for so many reasons.

Yesterday I was listening to the radio and caught the words to a song by Josh Baldwin.  The song is “Stand In Your Love”, and here are a few of the words.

When darkness tries to roll over my bones
When sorrow tries to steal the joy I own 
When brokenness and pain is all I know
I won't be shaken, I won't be shaken (Cause) …

Shame no longer has a place to hide 
I am not a captive to the lies 
Not afraid to leave my past behind 
I won't be shaken, I won't be shaken 

(chorus) 
Fear doesn't stand a chance 
When I stand in Your love 
Fear doesn't stand a chance 
When I stand in Your love 
Fear doesn't stand a chance 
When I stand in Your love 
Powerful.  Fear doesn’t stand a chance when I stand in your love.  When we choose God’s love and truth, fear is expelled.  That is true now and every day.  It is true at Christmas, too.

Let’s reach out to those who are hurting and struggling.  Give them a picture of what God’s love is.

1 John 4:18  NASB
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.

John 3:16  NASB
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

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....
