An Invitation to come.

Jesus invites those who with a heavy burden to come to him and find rest in Matthew 11:28-30.

28: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29: Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest in your souls.

30: For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Which is the second greatest commandment in the law?

39: And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40: ON these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

Which is the greatest commandment in the law?

In Matt 22:36 a lawyer asks Jesus this question

"Master, which is the greatest commandments in the law?

37: Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38: this is the first and great commandment.

What is a good neighbor?

In book of Luke we see a lawyer ask Jesus, What is a good neighbor?

In Luke 10:30-37 (KJV):

30: "And Jesus answering said, A certian man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31: And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32: And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

33: But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him.

34: And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35: and on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

36: Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

37: And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise."

Happy Easter.

It is all in the motives. If I am tithing it is because I love God, not because I want to get it back ten-fold. Then my motives are wrong. There is a song that has a line in it "seeking His face, and not only his hand". I heard the song many times and did not understand this line. My husband told me that he thought it meant that you seek the presence of the Lord for who He is, not what He can do for you. This should be our sole motivation in serving the Lord, no matter the area. If it is giving of our time, money, or talent, it should be done for the Lord and His glory. We should not do it to get anything back, be it fame, recognition, or money/possessions.

"God is very good......
God is good all the time. I will pray. I will believe in God. Nothing can stop me from believing"

My daughter Hannah, who is seven, wrote this on a piece of notebook paper earlier this evening and stuck it on the refrigerator. She said she wanted it to stay there forever . I read it and asked what prompted her to write it. She said she had been reading stories from a children's Bible to her younger sister and she just felt like she needed to write it down. How amazing is that? I had the privilege of leading Hannah to the Lord a few months ago and it's an incredible blessing to see her growing in her faith at such a young age. I'm so very blessed! Just thought I would share .

Here is some more photos.

Here is a great testimony by this person that I copied from this forum. Very inspiring story. Here is the link of the rest of the forum: http://www.city-data.com/forum/christianity/90564-what-how-has-your-life-changed.html

I haven't posted on this particular forum before, but am glad I found it.
I have quite a testimony:

I was raised in a Christian household and very involved in the church growing up. As a teen and young adult, strayed a bit, but after marriage and the birth of my son, started attending church regularly again. Went through a divorce, but continued taking my son to church where he was in choir, was a crucifer and acolyte, belonged to youth group, etc. and I taught Sunday School.

Five years ago, my whole life was shattered however, when my son (my only child) was killed while away at college (straight A student with a very bright future). I went through a "dark" period alternating between denial, anger, then extreme, overwhelming sadness and depression. I was mad at God for letting this happen to my precious child.
Then I started praying and reading my Bible, talked to my pastor, attended grief counselling group sessions, and I started seeing the light and coming out of that suffocating darkness.

I now have Christ in my life even stronger than before, he is my Saviour and my Life...He is leading me into greener pastures. Because of my renewed faith...my rebirth, I:

1) pray more often - many times each day - for everything, especially to give thanks for my many blessings, including 19 wonderful years with my son
2) can't do enough to help people, in a quiet unannounced way - not for recognition, but to truly help out when I can.
3) counsel young people who are in trouble through a volunteer program set up by our local solicitor's office
4) have become a trained grief counselor through our police chaplaincy
5) treat each child in my classroom as if they were my own...have much more patience now
6) do not want to be around people who curse/swear and do not want to hear it on the radio or TV (it never used to bother me)
7)will not watch movies or programs with sexual or violent content...it just seems so dirty and disgusting
8) don't sweat the small stuff
9) don't get angry (well not often anyway...)
10) am bothered that some of my loved ones don't know the Lord like I do....I want to see them all in Heaven where we can spend Eternity together
11) Feel at peace within myself and feel truly blessed for each day
12) Have been able to forgive the ones who killed my son (he was shot and killed during an armed robbery), even though they have not been apprehended by the police yet. If Jesus could forgive, then so can I.

I handed my burdens to the Lord and have been lighter and happier ever since. God is good!
