   How Deep Is Your Love....For & With....God, Jesus, Holy Spirit? 

 Mark 12:29-30 

 

 

Mark

 

Jesus replied, "The most important commandment is this: 'Listen, O Israel! The LORD our God is the one and only LORD.  And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength."

Thoughts....

 

 

Are you singing the following song to Jesus?  Is Jesus singing this to you?  Or are you singing this to one another?
 
Read the song below first without considering who sings to whom. 
 
Then decide if how I've suggested it could be sung....and you sing it....both out loud....and....in your mind, heart, and hearing from our Lord....if it fills your heart to best help you know whom to really fully give your love.
 
May todays Scripture and this song give new meaning, or remind you, whom you should love and how love should feel, and how to give the enormity of that love to God, Jesus, Holy Spirit.
 
 
 
You sing to the Lord....
 
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
 
The Lord sings to you....

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
 
The Lord sings to you....

How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

You sing to the Lord....
 
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my savior when I fall
 
The Lord sings to you....

And you may not think, I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
 
You sing to each other....

How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
 
The Lord sings to you....

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
 
You sing to the Lord....

How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
 
The Lord sings to you....

How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
 
You sing this together....

How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

Let Us Pray

 

 

Today I'm praying as if you are speaking directly to the Trinity....God, Jesus, Holy Spirit....just as I am....
 
 
Dear Heavenly Father God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, please forgive me for my sins in not loving you with my whole heart.  I give lip service, I pray, I do for others, but I seem to miss the love dance with you.  I hang my head in sorrow and in shame.  I know you've told me that in loving others I AM loving you, but I'm missing the intimacy we had in the heartfelt talks, the warmth of your embrace, the k n o w i n g you ARE there....here....within me, in my heart, mind, body, soul, my spirit....that it's your spirit, the YOU that holds me together.  Even tho' I've believed all of that existed, I need to FEEL all of your love fully again. The oneness between us. I'm sorry I've let so much going on in the world get in the way of....us.   
 
We do belong to you and me. Help me know how to show you how deep my love is. Help me not leave a distance between us going forward. I do want to feel you in my arms again. I DO believe in you. You ARE my Savior always and forever.  Help me show you that.  In John 15:9, you say you have loved me as the Father loves you. To remain in your love. I believe I've remained in your love....but you have not remained in mine to the depths that I've remained in yours....at least I hope I've remained deeply in your love all this time. It clearly says I may not have, as I read that whole chapter. So, I say it again, please forgive me for not loving you with my whole heart despite that I have been thinking I have been.   
 
This moment in time is a new moment, a renewed beginning for us. Thank you for believing in me, holding me in your arms, loving me....still.  Please continue to carry me when I need you to do so.  I can't do this thing called life without you....never have been able to....and don't ever want to consider doing so....ever. 
 
I love you, God, Jesus, Holy Spirit. Thank you for e v e r y t h i n g, but mostly how you have shown your love to me all these years. I heard you as a child whisper to me that I am not alone, that you would never leave me, nor forsake me. I've held your very breath of words close within my heart, mind, soul and spirit all this time....and been ever so grateful.  Thank you. Thank you so very much.  
 
You ARE the door to my very soul. You ARE the light in my deepest, darkest hour. 
 
We DO belong to you and me.... 
 
I praise you, and thank you, and love you.  Amen.

Let us hear from Paul as he prays:  

When I think of the wisdom and scope of God's plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.  I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit.  And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him.  May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love.  And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is.  May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it.  Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Now glory be to God!  By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.  May he be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages.  Amen.  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT

  Our Continual Cause

 

 

It is time to reach into the community and the world around you to see wherein lies the greatest need.  As you choose to focus on these areas, do so with a servant's heart.  Whether the need is for children, adults, animals, the earth, or any cause in between that will help those in need, ask God how you can best serve his needs, what path you must take, and how long you should persevere.  Sometimes we are to be in the lives of others merely as stepping stones.  Sometimes we are to touch those lives forever.  Whatever journey you are called to take, whatever team you will be a member, know this:  God is with you always...even til the end of time.  He loves you, is grateful for you, and will help you along life's way, especially if you are helping others along theirs, persevering with a servant's heart.  

    

Please accept my sincerest thanks....and God's....and may God richly bless you !

Jesus' Prayer of Thanksgiving

'The Unforced Rhythms of Grace'

 

 

"Abruptly Jesus broke into prayer:  "Thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth.  You've concealed your ways from sophisticates and know-it-alls, but spelled them out clearly to ordinary people.  Yes, Father, that's the way you like to work."

Jesus resumed talking to the people, but now tenderly.  "The Father has given me all these things to do and say.  This is a unique Father - Son operation, coming out of Father and Son intimacies and knowledge.  No one knows the Son the way the Father does, nor the Father the way the Son does.  But I'm not keeping it to myself; I'm ready to go over it line by line with anyone willing to listen."

"Are you tired?  Worn out?  Burned out on religion?  Come to me.  Get away with me and you'll recover your life.  I'll show you how to take a real rest.  Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it.  Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.  I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn how to live freely and lightly.

 

Matthew 11:  25-30

  The Message

 

And the people said,

"Amen."

I now write most prayers in the position of ' I ' (first person) because most people are sitting at their computer alone, not in groups, and it allows those reading and praying to personalize the prayer as coming from them going to God.  Variations may appear on holidays when families may wish to use the prayer provided.  I encourage you to pray your own prayers as well.

NOTE:  I said it long ago, but let me say it again.  If you are wanting to lead a group, start a church, or are confined in an institution, or live in a country where the Gospel is not preached, and you don't know what to say or how to say it, and yet feel led to share, teach, or preach, besides just reading straight out of the Bible and sharing what God puts on your heart, please feel free to share any or all of what I've written, if it will help you, as long as you include where it comes from, due to copyright laws.  Jesus gave God's love and healing freely, as well as his message.  Our responsibility is to get the Word out to those who need to hear it.  If what I've written....by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit....or what he has said through me....has helped you, it may help others that you know.  You are welcome to share it.  God calls all of us to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the world.  Please share it with the fullness of love that God, Jesus, Holy Spirit....and I....have given it.  Amen!
