Let LOVE win!


 Let LOVE win by Carrollton
 How do we bring Psalms 37:4 to life?  How do we Delight ourselves in the Lord, let LOVE win! How do we commit our ways unto God, let LOVE win! 

If we would just let LOVE win!  It would build those bridges that cannot be burned!  Love would speak truth that otherwise could not be learned!  It IS a treasure we could never learn but only experience.  If you think about it, love does go places we are afraid to go.  Love is the hands that are held wide open and not a fist held tight with cramps of frustration and fear.  Love is reaching out to the down and broken, sharing and giving of the heart to build those bridges from heart to heart, straight to a relationship built on love. 

Love is the only thing that can tear down those walls of the heart.  Love is the only thing that has the power to break our chains, light the darkness, give us hope in a helpless world.  Oh, yes when we lay down our weapons, we let love win!  

Love does make a friend of our enemies.  Love lays down our life for the replacement of peace.  Love never casts a single stone.  It's always proven by God's word alone.  Love makes our flesh and bones come alive!  

As we hear on the news every day of more and more killings, our hearts become numb, they become harden and we are no longer effected by hate.  Our song should be loud and clear!  Our chant should be loud and clear!  The world's army should be loud and clear! Let it echo through the universe!  LET LOVE WIN!  Put down the weapons and LET LOVE WIN!


Lord Your love builds bridges that cannot be burned
It speaks truth that cannot be learned
It’s a treasure we can never earn
It goes places we’re afraid of going
It’s not a fist it’s a hand wide open
Reaching out to the down and broken
(chorus)
We believe Your love is the strongest way
You’re tearing down walls and You break our chains
Even in this darkness hope will rise again
When we lay down our weapons we will let love win
Lord we lay down our weapons and we let love win
Lord Your love is a friend to its enemies
It takes a hit then turns a cheek
You laid down Your life for peace
Love won’t cast a single stone
It’s never proven by words alone
You come alive in our flesh and bones and in our souls
(chorus)
We believe Your love is the strongest way
You’re tearing down walls and You break our chains
Even in this darkness hope will rise again
When we lay down our weapons we will let love win
Lord we lay down our weapons and we let love win
(bridge)
What if fighting for our beliefs
Looks more like surrendering
Though that’s the hardest thing
What if standing up for what’s right
Means laying down our pride
Even laying down our lives
(chorus)
We believe Your love is the strongest way
You’re tearing down walls and You break our chains
Even in this darkness hope will rise again
When we lay down our weapons we will let love win
We believe Your love is the strongest way
You’re tearing down walls and You break our chains
Even in this darkness hope will rise again
When we lay down our weapons we will let love win
Lord we lay down our weapons and we let love win

Day 3 - Revealing the Heart!

Day 3 - Revealing the Heart  Can we let truth speak louder than our feelings?  The longer we speak, read and live truth, our feelings will need to agree!  While reading my devotional today in (Ephesians 3:12) it talks about having courage and confidence in Christ.  The word used in the text was unreserved.   I wanted to look up the definition.  And as I read it, it created this boldness in my heart while I read the words out loud. You may want to try doing this yourself.   It started with unconditional, unqualified (no qualification required) without reservation, unlimited, categorical, unequivocal, unambiguous, absolute, complete, thorough, wholehearted, full, total and undivided.  This is God's love, his love is complete and unlimited.  There is only one way to interpret it, clear and concise.  It goes on to say in ( Ephesians 3:17) by faith we are rooted and grounded in Christ's love!  We often distance ourselves from the very source we need because of feelings

Day 2 - JOY

Image
Day 2 You might think there is a magic formula in obtaining "Joy".  Relationship and resolution to have a closer relationship with the one who provides joy, it is a simple formula, but few take it.  Psalm 33:22 "Let your loving kindness, O Lord, be upon us, according, as we have hope in You."   As we claim every promise that God has given us as our own, it deposits one more gem of joy in our heart.  As we take this journey of joy together, be patient as He shows us victory in every circumstance, no matter how it looks to us on the outside of our heart.  He can give us peace from within. Keep your focus on the beauty of His creative and magnificent hand.  And before long, you will feel Him holding your hand.  "We wait for the Lord.  he is our help and our shield.  In him our hearts find joy.  In his holy name we trust."   Psalm 33:20-21 The heart of gratitude!  1.) Thank you for sharing the Garden 2.)  Another beautiful day
