Lions of God: A lot like Love…

A lot like Love…

Love…The strangest of all of the human emotions, the most undiscovered, and untapped of our abilities. Love… can overcome great weakness and override vast deeply inbreeded hates and imbedded fears. It gives us our wonderful ability to forgive, and to forget. It can start wars, end wars, bring in a new life to the world, and make us do things considered by the thought as unloved as insane. It is even sometimes seen as being unreal or a ‘fantasy’. Love… It is stronger, more accepting, and truer than any other emotion existing. It shared by many, but not enough, we all have felt it in some form or another, whether it be the love of a friend, a family member, or your One and your only. It has been studied, abused, dictated over, changed in direction, and even forgotten by some, but it can never be killed out completely. Love… It is the most beautiful of all things, it saves, it redeems, and it heals. It is unearned, unmerited…It just simply is... …It Is Love …

Lions of God

Our lives can be ended so easily that its scary to think one minute you're here and the next you're before God's throne. That is why we have to make it count. Nothing we will ever do will make us better than anyone else. But that doesn’t mean we should conform to a fallen world. We have to stand up in it, be proud to be His sons and daughters, yet be humble enough to realize we are no better than those we witness to. We have to dance and sing when others are silent and act when others are afraid. We have to pray in Jesus Christ's name while others curse in it. We have to see the world through His eyes and act with His hands, listen through His ears, and speak in His words. That is our calling. To "Go into all the World and preach the good news to all creation." In His name we will "drive out demons, speak in new tongues, place our hands on snakes and not be poisoned, lay hands on the sick and they will get well." (Mark 16:15-18) We have the power. We have the opportunities. All we lack is the courage to be the Lions we are called to be. We have Christ inside of us. Your friends, your teachers, your enemies will see Him in you and ask themselves 'what makes him/her different?', and in that little thought the gates of their mind and heart will be opened enough to let God in.

Joy in Trials

Hold onto Jesus, And don’t let go. For there will be trials, The Bible says so. They’re given for a purpose. It’s part of His plan. You're to count them all joy, And rejoice if you can. Knowing that going through them Your faith’s in a test, And patience is the reward, With which God wants to bless. YOU for persevering and not giving in, To the temptations that surround you, The subtle call of sin. So stand fast my brethren And resist the evil one... Looking unto Jesus, And all that He has done. See, He was all God, But he was also all Man, He’s already won the victory So that you can GLORIFY HIM While you simply sail through, All of life’s storms, When they seem to engulf you. Knowing the testing of your faith Is making you stronger, And that patience is making you perfect, In case He tarries longer. -By Diana M.
