Color Me Love

Written by Joyce C. Lock


For those who walk inrepparttar flesh,repparttar 122776 law is given. Some only see in black and white.

And, yet, there is a more excellent way. Others see in color and, when they do, that color is love.

"Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God."

1 John 3:21

The Bible tells us to love our enemies, pray for them, turnrepparttar 122777 other cheek, and many like things. It also tells us to stand against evil. There are times to pluck up that which was planted, to shakerepparttar 122778 dust off our feet, and more.

If we hold torepparttar 122779 law, we remain captive in circumstances that God gave us other provisions for. We still adamantly believe inrepparttar 122780 law. The difference is that we trust God to reveal to us which law He requires at any given time.

What ever God speaks to us isrepparttar 122781 ultimate/absolute law. Praise God, He is a Living God!

"Neither have I gone back fromrepparttar 122782 commandment of his lips; I have esteemedrepparttar 122783 words of his mouth more than my necessary food."

Job 23:12

The whole entire law is complete and fulfilled through following this one verse: thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. If you do that, you have covered God's intent for every law withinrepparttar 122784 Bible.

Grace for Grace

Written by Joyce C. Lock


Grace: God’s unmerited favor, unconditional love, when we get what we don’t deserve, when we get something far greater than anything we deserved, when we hitrepparttar end ofrepparttar 122775 road and find a second chance, salvation, forgiveness.

When your child has been severely injured, due to your neglect, yet they recover without permanent scars; then, you know grace.

When you’ve been unfaithful to your mate and that love is restored; then, you know grace.

When you’ve made a mistake of catastrophic proportion and someone else pays your bill; then, you know grace.
