Leftovers, Anyone? February 15,
2001
Our Thoughts:
Valentine Day is over and gone, not to return for another year. And, there are 'leftovers' - left over candy (call my friend, Peg - she loves it, especially chocolate!), leftovers from all those
sweetheart banquets at the churches, or perhaps just plain old leftovers from your evening meal. We couldn't live without leftovers; they are a part of our life around this house! But, not everyone likes leftovers; my Dad was one of those.
So, Mother had to figure out a way to fix them up so he would eat them, along with something new she'd cook to dress up the leftovers.
Is there such a thing as 'leftover love'? Is there anyone that didn't get love - a hug, an _I love you_, a valentine, candy, or flowers? Is there one out there that didn't have anyone to call and say, "I love you"? Is there one out there that
is missing _love_ in their life, completely?
I know where you can get a love that lasts for all time. There's more than enough to go around, and it's not 'leftover'. It comes wrapped up in a wrapping money can't buy. You don't have to phone; there's no waiting period - you can get it instantaneously! GOD is love, and he awaits you
calling out to Him. His love is free; no strings attached, other than you follow Him, in his ways. His love is guaranteed to bring you joy, peace, and happiness. It will free you from fear and depression. It's so good, you will want to throw away all the _leftovers_
and keep feasting on His love!
God's Thoughts:
1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
Our Cup:
Heavenly Father, we know that your love is always new. We never have to accept leftovers again! We thank you and give you praise for this wonderful love. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
