What does love have to do with it?

EVERYTHING!

Have you ever loved something that you had to set free?

As I ask Jesus how to convey the love God has for us, I am reminded of that little deer I found! Did you read that devotion?

I loved that little deer with my whole being & I wanted so bad to keep it, but I knew I had to set it free. I called my husband & told him to watch over it & if the mama deer did not care for it, I would take care of it. I loved that little deer so much that sleep would not have mattered to me, because the little deer’s needs were more important to me than my temporary sleep. I would have bought the milk replacement & even the colostrum for its health, I would have made it a safe place to shelter it, BUT I never would have caged it …

Do you see how God loves us so much that he accomplished all things for us, except for one? Jesus 1st loved us to set us free, but we must Come to Jesus & be fed!

Yesterday, it was cold and raining, & I needed gas. BUT I didn’t want to do Today, what would have been more comfortable another day. YET, the thought of running out of gas was worse than the thought of standing at the pump while pumping gas …

Come to Jesus is a marvelous invitation by God, because God has 1st loved us! Jesus is waiting on you to come to Him with every care, worry & with your very life. Jesus is able to help us learn how to live & survive in this world through His Name! Jesus, the Christ the Son of the Living God come down from Heaven, so that He could come under our sin & rise us up to the place THAT we have always belonged: & That is with God!

Jesus is the Truth!

What do you see at the Railroad Crossing?

Yesterday, I needed to cross the tracks to get to the school to pick up our son. But the tracks were blocked. By the time I arrived at the detour, the work was arriving to close this Crossing!

Jesus made a way For us when there was no other way for God to receive us back! As the crossing Guards closed, Something happened! The equipment BACKED up and the crossing Guards raised so we could cross the tracks to get to the place we needed to be!

God made a way for you ~ JESUS, The Way, The Truth, and The LIFE!

Love in Christ,

How would you Caption these Pictures?  What do you see?

  We can’t out-love God!  I see God pushing back the enemy! I see what sin and death blocked; Jesus has authority to clear the Way for us! I see God calling us by name to COME to Jesus & the invitation is a marvelous invitation Today to call on the Powerful Name of Jesus!  I see the reflection that come down from Heaven!  How does one know anything, without first knowing God?  I see We cannot out-love God.

 

 

Sounding the call of God’s Love,Come to Jesus!

  John 8:10-12 “Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” “No one, Lord,” she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.” 12Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world.Whoever follows Me will never walk in thedarkness, but will have the light of life.”

Thank you for sharing your time with me Today. I hope this is a blessing to your faith!

Love in Christ, Karen

Meet Karen: Hi, I am blessed, by God's good grace and because I know Jesus, I am blessed. I choose to be blessed, because I have a choice set before me and I refuse to look down. I trust God and I know and believe in the love God has for us. I have overcome difficulties; and I am blessed by the grace of God alone. If I have written about it, then I have felt the pain of it in some way, and to some degree. Did you know that Jesus has felt your pain? This is why I write. By God's grace I can identify; and tell you honestly, yes there is hope in anything and everything that you are facing today! Jesus is our Hope! He is the Truth, the Way and the Life. I am married a wonderful man, Robert Rowe; I love my husband and he loves me; and we have been married for 28 years. Together, we have been blessed with a wonderful daughter, named Amanda who is college now; and a wonderful son, named Daniel who is growing up well and soon to graduate elementary school. We work together and by God's grace we run our own business called PSI. We have a pastor over our ministry and over our business and also we depend on him for advise in our family. We have 2 dogs, 4 horses, 2 cats and love to spend time outdoors by the water and by campfires ... that is it seems when we can find time away from life's busy schedule. I love to write because it helps me learn more about God. And, I am driven by a passion from a love that God has put in my heart to share from my experiences and struggles, as I gain understanding in God’s Word to know how effective and powerful God is over our every situation! I share with you so you can know that you are not alone in your struggles. The same God who helps me and my family, is your help and shield as well! Life is not always easy, but it is possible –I like to share the difference that following Jesus makes in my life. And, I love to share God's patience and mercy and love that is with me! I am not perfect, but am experiencing God sanctify me through and through with every mistake I make; and yes, overcome in Christ! Life is not just about the successes; life on this earth is also about the troubles we overcome to discover what God has hidden in our faith to find! Troubles are more a challenge to grow in our faith ... It is not easy, but in the end the grace of God we discover is worth experiencing God in the midst. By Grace, I have discovered Jesus is Peace and He is my Joy and Wisdom from Heaven. God is our Provider and Healer and Creator, who is our help and shield over all things. By grace, I have experienced a nearness to God through my faith in His Son! We are well forgiven by God; and well blessed when we know and believe the love that God has for us. To say, "all is well with my soul" is a powerful knowledge to understand and experience. I sense God's desire for you to know His love for you and how deep His love for you is that He has SO loved you; God gave you His Son. God loves you right now just as you are! There is so much to learn! I believe that as we learn from God, we are God’s gift to each other. It is all God’s story –and for His glory; and God has SO loved us. I love to paint the vision that God has given me about a Father’s love –that God wants you to dream again and visualize His love for you! In God’s eyes, there’s more to life than we see; and in a world that sometimes misrepresents and misunderstands God and love; God wants you to have the courage to dream His dream and see His vision of a Father’s love for you! Many years ago, I prayed to God, “How can I tell a million people what I know about Your Son?” God showed me I had a gift of a ministry about God's Love; and He called it Hope in Today! I write to please God and I write to encourage you; and I write to spend quiet time with God. All because of this love that God has first shown me! I need Jesus –and my life is about my relationship with God. And, every blessing begins with Him! Love in Christ, Karen Rowe, Director Hope in Today Ministries, Inc.
