Put On Love ~
Put on love,
clothe yourself in it
for it is the perfect gift
of the Holy Spirit.
Wrap it around you,
wear it like a glove
for Jesus wants you
to show others His love.
Put on love,
make it your priority
for it’s the prefect bond
of oneness and unity.
For the new life in Christ,
is all about His love
and you will please
His Father above.
Put on love,
let everyone see it
for in Jesus it is . . .
for all a perfect fit!
~~~~~~~~
And above all these things
put on charity, which is the
bond of perfectness.

A Life Pleasing To God ~
If you want to live,
a life to God pleasing
you must love others
even if their deceiving.
You need to love them,
just like Jesus loves you
you must be forgiving
with everyone too.
If you want to live,
a life to God purposeful
you must first have a heart
that is too merciful.
Merciful to the poor,
the helpless and needy
you can no longer be
selfish or greedy.
If you want to live,
a life to God delightful
even to your enemies
you can’t be despiteful!
~~~~~~~~
A new commandment I give unto you,
That ye love one another;
as I have loved you,
that ye also love one another.
By this shall all men know
that ye are my disciples,
if ye have love one to another.

What Does God Require ~
I asked the Lord one day,
what from me do You desire
He said my love for Him
was what He required.
Then my love for others,
would reflect His very own
then His love to everyone
will be seen and known.
I asked the Lord one day,
what from me do You need
He said my will to Him
I would need to heed.
Then my love for Him,
others would be able to see
then His image would shine
from the inside out of me.
I asked the Lord one day,
what from me do you desire
He said to use His love . . .
to encourage and inspire!
~~~~~~~~
And he answering said,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul,
and with all thy strength,
and with all thy mind;
and thy neighbour as thyself.

My Brother’s Keeper ~
I am my brother’s keeper,
I help him to understand
I encourage him to put
his life into God’s hand.
I am my sister’s keeper,
I help her to see the light
I encourage her to grow
to keep Jesus in her sight.
I am my mother’s keeper,
in her old age I help her out
I hold her hand when lonely
to calm her fears and doubt.
I am my father’s keeper,
I lift to God, his very soul
I pray each day and night
Jesus will make him whole.
I am my children’s keeper,
I listen to their concerns
I pray for God to give them
the wisdom to discern.
I am my neighbor’s keeper,
I pray for their daily needs
I tell them to always heed
to follow where God leads.
The Lord is my keeper,
He is with me every day
He watches over me . . .
as I travel the narrow way!

“And the Lord said unto Cain,
Where is Abel thy brother?
And he said, I know not:
Am I my brother’s keeper?”
He that loveth his brother
abideth in the light, and
there is none occasion
of stumbling in him.
