How would you like to take a walk with God?  How about dinner with Jesus?  How about taking God to work with you?  This is actually what our faith offers us, a daily connection and inclusion of God in our every day living.  What could be greater, and so lets talk about it. 

Ever play the game of 'Keep Away' when you were young?  Where you had some valued possession that you held so dear that you dared not let anyone take away from you?  Well in a sense, yet to a far greater degree, there are spiritual things held by Believers that we should never allow a single thing to rob from us. This is what we will consider today. 

There are so many laws on the books that no could know them all and every year more and more laws are added, both good and bad, but there is something that the Bible declares has no laws against it, and full freedom is given to go for it.  What is it, you may have already guessed it is Love. 

Self-control could at first sound like a restrictive or even confining type of subject, but quite the opposite is true. Self-control is a blessing, it is actually freeing as it opens up to us victory over the things that do restrict and confine us, you see the self life, the self-centered life, is the biggest restrictor of all.  

Who knows the song; Great Is Thy Faithfulness?  It is a true classic sung by saints around the world for many many years.  Such a great treasure Believers have in the faithfulness of God our Father. He is true to His word.Bank on it, count on it, let it bring your life true purpose. 

David in one of the most loved Psalms, Psalm 23, declares; Surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.  If you know just where that goodness comes from and you are counting on the mercy of God, then you too can declare the very same thing.  So, for goodness sake, listen in today.  

How important is kindness to you, from others and from you to others?  Like a greeting from a friend, a 'have a great day' you pass along to make someone smile, these things are actually birthed out of love, genuine love.  Think of it, a simple act of kindness can change your day and the day of the one receiving your kindness.  And hasn't God been kind to you? 

On a scale of 1 to 10 how patience are you?  How about this, how patient on that same scale would you like to be?  Now, you know that there is Someone who has been patient with you and I must add very patient with me, and He would like to grow patience within each of us.  Let's take the time to think about this...  

Did you know that the Lord calls Himself the Lord of Peace?  Now come on, who doesn't need peace in this world, which makes it so great to know the very source of Peace, the very Lord of Peace. Let's talk peace for every circumstance. 

If Love was a tree what fruit would it grow.  I'm thinking that it would be like a tree with several fruits growing from it, and one of those fruits would surely be joy.  Joy, that deep down settled assurance that God loves you! Ready to enjoy the fruit of God's love for you?
