The heart of God and the love of God.
Who can truly understand the heart of God as to comprehend His love or His "hate"?
"For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?" "Jacob I loved, but ESAU I hated."
Not all Israel is Israel.
Those who are saved should tremble with fear and wonder that they were chosen to believe and be saved.
Who was on God's mind when He was on the cross?
The look of love was on His face, the crown of thorns was on His head
The blood was on His scarlet robe, and painted it crimson red
His eyes were on the crowd that day, but He looked ahead in time
When He was on the cross, I was on His mind
Yes, He knew me, yes, He loved me
He whose glory made the heavens shine
So unworthy, but such mercy
When He was on the cross, I was on His mind Ronald Michael Payne
Love is what's left at the end of everything.
Sometimes we want to be able to help someone whom we love very much but we find that we can do nothing. Circumstances will not allow us to approach them, or the person is so closed off to any gesture of support.
At these times, when we can really do nothing, perhaps we can still love....without expecting any reward or change or gratitude....
Love is what we are left with.
We can continue to love - and who knows? The energy of our love could begin to transform people around us and it could achieve many things.....
"Time does not transform man, will power does not transform man. Love transforms."But sometimes love can destroy. It's when it becomes something we keep inside us that we struggle with. When it becomes something which starts demanding for its rights and overdoing it.
Love is a many splendoured thing
It's the April rose that only grows in the early spring
Love is nature's way of giving, a reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king
Once on a high and windy hill, in the morning mist
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart
and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many splendoured thing
