1Cor13-14

12 Describes love.   There is nothing greater than this.   Dave lost his mother in law on Easter Day.  This woman was loved.   Pray for Dave and his wife Elaine as they go through the mourning but know that they have the strength of Christ and, as Ch14 discusses, will not be confused but understand that the God of Love with comfort them.   Remember today that the sacrifice and resurrection that we celebrated this weekend really did happen.  He LOVED us that much.   Love you guys and praying for you often.

Psalm 39,40,41

I have felt especially close to Jesus this week. Tonight my heart is full of praise and worship for Him. This Easter week has been different than any other in my life. I'm filled with such gratitude. I have this yearning to go to the foot of the cross and cry and weep and praise and worship. As I read Psalm 40 tonight it spoke my feelings and my thoughts, it put a voice to my heart.

How happy is the man
who has put his trust in the LORD
and has not turned to the proud
or to those who run after lies!
LORD my God, You have done many things—
Your wonderful works and Your plans for us;
none can compare with You.
If I were to report and speak of them,
they are more than can be told.

May we give glory and honor to you Lord Jesus by how we live our lives in accordance with the example that you gave to us. May we love and serve each other as you taught us.

Amen
