Jesus Christ is the Beloved! I am here to serve Him because my love for Him is that kind
of love that I would do anything he asked. His every desire is my quest.
I believe that because God chose me, and saved me from
myself, I can walk that walk. My
relationship with God gives me that courage.
We are all individual and unique; we all have talents or
abilities that God has given us to fulfill our purpose. We will not all serve God in the same
way, but if we choose to serve God, it must be for His purpose. We should serve him without doubt or
fear.
Jesus said to him, “
‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and
with all your mind.’ This is the
first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love
your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and
the Prophets.
Matthew 22:37-40
These were the commandments Jesus gave us. The first commandment is easy for me,
because Jesus has delivered me from the world and disease, and given me the wealth
that He desires that I have. I am
not rich; I am richly blessed.
‘You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.’ This is where I have to dig in. There are so many
confused people in our world. I
have to realize that I am not strong enough to save them all, nor is it
Christ’s purpose that I do. I
cannot change them only God Himself can change them. God has asked that I pray for them. Those that God chooses will be saved,
but that I should pray for all men, that none should parish.
God chose to bring the Israelites out of Egypt, but only
those who chose God were allowed to go into the Promised Land.
I choose my Beloved.
