IF WE LOVE CHRIST LIKE WE SAY WE DO

If we could "Love the Lord our God with all our hearts, soul, and mind; and love our neighbor as we do ourselves" We would not have to be concerned with any other commandment.  But instead: 2 Timothy 3:2-5 we are people that are lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.


Father, we say we love You, but if we love You; we would love those who love You, no matter the skin color.  Lord, if we love You like we say we do; we would behave as You desire, not as we please.  Father, if we love You like we say we do; we would not doubt You as we do man.  Lord, if we loved You like we say we do, we would study, worship, witness, and praise You daily; to strengthen our relationship, and nourish our fruit.  Lord, if we loved You like we say we do, we would train our children and our children's children in Your ways so they would not leave when they grow older.  Father, if we loved You like we say we do, we would care for our sick, homeless, seniors, orphans; we would lift each other up instead of tearing each other down.  Lord, if we loved You like we say we do, we could work together in unity and peace.  Father, if we loved You like we say we do, we would not backbite, murder each other, commit adultery, rape our children or hate each other.  Lord, we ask for forgiveness for not loving You like we say we do; Lord, we ask for forgiveness for lying, stealing, and fornication.  Father, open our hearts and minds, fill them with Your Word; so we can become the disciples You created us to be, and love You like we say we do, in Jesus name Amen
