Love Broke Through - Now Think On This by Steve Martin



Love Broke Through


“The amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit, be with all of you.” 2 Corinthians 13:14, THE MESSAGE


When I returned to the place where I had once been, it was different. Or maybe my heart had been changed, coming back with a different one, or rather, one that had been enlivened once again, and prepared better to shine again.

I know Danny Gokey sings about that. Both Keith Green and Phil Keaggy had also.

Love had broken through, and now the Lord had given me once again a place to share His love, which I may not have done quite so well before. So now I have been given the opportunity to be there once again.

There are places, people, opportunities in your life where the Lord once had you, and then you left, thinking that that wasn’t the way it was supposed to be, that if only you had done better, been wiser, or simply let His Holy Spirit lead as He can, your impact may have been a bit more everlasting.

I want to assure you that even when you think it didn’t go right, when you thought you had messed up, that surely goodness could have been more good in the place of your footprint…the Lord had made His mark with the light you did share, and it was going to be better because of you.

Love had broken through. When it seems most dark, the small flame which did come forth from your heart did shine; the seed was planted, and life did grow as a result.

We don’t always know what is going on in the minds of those around us, who have been through a lot, seen a lot, and experienced a bit more than at times they could handle. But when we share the love of God, through a simple smile, a caring word, an act that otherwise might go unnoticed, our Lord Jesus Christ uses that to touch lives. And if you get the opportunity to go back, you will see just how much your life did affect them. If you don’t, then let it shine where He has you now.

“…in all these things we are superconquerors, through the One who has loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers, neither what exists nor what is coming, neither powers above nor powers below, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God which comes to us through the Messiah Yeshua, our Lord.” Romans 8:37-39, Complete Jewish Bible

By the love of the Father, through the outworking of the Holy Spirit, we have been given a measure of His grace and mercy to share to a dying world, a world which many not even want His love. But there will come a time when they will certainly realize they need it, and Him Above All (another great song as sung by Michael W. Smith.)

Opportunities will come today to share the love of God. Walk with open eyes, an open heart, and think a bit less about yourself, your needs, and give some of His grace and mercy to the one next to you on the job, in the school, or as you shop.

Let the love of God break through. The world needs you. The nations need you now. And so does that one He gives you to show Him.

Now think on this and see what good things the Lord has in store for you and those around you.

Ahava and shalom,

How can we respond to those who hate Israel? - ONE FOR ISRAEL

SHALOM!
Chances are, if you are receiving our newsletters, that there is a place in your heart for Israel. Perhaps, like us, you may grieve at some of the troubling things in our society and the lostness of our people - but not without a heart of love and compassion. However, hatred of the Jewish state is a constant feature of our media landscape. What does God see when he looks at Israel? And how can we respond to all this?

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem—
“May those who love you be at peace!
May there be shalom within your walls—
quietness within your palaces.” (Psalm 122:6-7)
Dr. Erez Soref, President
of ONE FOR ISRAEL 
"I've found the solution to the Middle East conflict. I've seen it with my own eyes - Jew and Arab can fully unite in Jesus!"
My new faith and Jewish heritage went hand-in-hand!
Seeking God About the Boycott of Israel

Here are some pointers for Christians who want understand why some people are boycotting Israel, and also for those who long to do something to help in this bitter and complicated conflict. Some believe that a boycott would be an effective way to exert pressure on Israel and bring an end to this limbo for the Palestinians, but the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement is not all it may seem on the surface.

Even though we long for freedom, peace and dignity for the Palestinian people, we believe that boycotting Israel is not only ineffective, but also the wrong thing to do.
The Multi-Layered Meaning of "Shalom"

Jerusalem, as Yehuda Amichai once put it, is a “port city on the shore of eternity”. It is like a portal to that which is beyond this material world, up into the heavenlies. Why? Is Jerusalem a super-spiritual city? Not in and of itself, no. God was willing to destroy it, along with his own temple more than once. But it is holy because God chose it. Like his own chosen people. God chose Jerusalem to be the geographical location from which he would redeem the world; it is the location of the death and resurrection of the Messiah. That event happened in a specific time and a specific place, but the results flow into eternity. It is also the place he is coming back to! So Jerusalem is God’s chosen city in real time and space, but the significance and effect is eternal.
