"While we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly."-Romans 5:6
Todays Dare is similar to yesterday. So the only way I could possibly explain what love is and where it comes from is by writing the lyrics to this song that I found to be perfect, so here it goes:
LOVE IS HERE BY TENTH AVENUE NORTH
"Come to the water you who thirst
And you'll thirst no more.
Come to the Father you who work
And you'll work no more.
All you who labor in vain
And to the broken and ashamed,
(Chorus)
'Love is here,
Love is now,
Love is pouring from His hands,
From His brows.
Love is near,
It satisfies,
Streams of mercy flowing from His side.
Cuz love is here.' (End of chorus)
Come to the treasure,
You who search
And you'll search no more.
Come to the lover
You who want
And you'll want no more.
And all who labor in vain
And to the broken and ashamed, yeah:
(Chorus)
And to the bruised and fallen,
Captives bound and the brokenhearted,
He is the Lord, He is the Lord, yeah..
By His stripes He's paid our ransom
From H is wounds we drink salvation.
He is the Lord, He is the Lord.
(Chorus).
I posted the link to this song performed live on youtube from the band. If you get a chance view it. Listen to his words. Listen to the song. This is our example of love. This IS what love is. I have a few questions for you? Would you give your child and sacrafice their life for this world? Knowing of all the 'sinners' in this world...all the molestors, adulterers, murderers, liars, and slanderers. Would you give your beautiful, angelic, perfect child in your eyes, to die for this corrupt human race? Could you do it? What about yourself....if you were raised a Christian your whole life, tho a sinner, you never killed anyone, never harmed a child or never had an affair on your spouse, but you tried to live your life like Christ and you were sentenced to be tortured and put to death by this world....would you do it? Would you lay down your life to save this corrupted world?
Have you every really truly thought about what God did for you by sacraficing his beautiful, angelic and perfect Son? He did that for you....to save you! Have you taken into account the torture that Jesus went through in order for you to live in Eternity? Have you realized that no matter how good you think you are....you can't earn your way to Heaven? We were given a gift....the gift of Love and Passion. This is our example of a perfect Love Story. This is how God desires us to love our Spouses. This is how God wants us to choose loving our family, friends and enemies. It is impossible to love this way without Christ being in your heart. His love flows through us.....
THE DARE: In this video (below) the leader of the band says, "I dare you to look around in this world and find something that flows out of you like living water." There is nothing this world can offer you that will flow from you like beautiful rushing waters. Nothing in this world will bring you that joy. DARE TO TAKE GOD AT HIS WORD. DARE TO TRUST JESUS CHRIST FOR SALVATION. DARE TO TRUST JESUS WITH YOUR LIFE, YOUR SPOUSE, AND YOUR MARRIAGE. ASK THE LORD TO CHANGE YOUR HEART AND TEACH YOU TO LOVE LIKE HIM.
God bless you today, tonight and always. I hope from today you can truly comprehend that His love is how we love. Praying for you, your hearts and marriages. You are so loved.
