Passing On God's Love
God’s greatest attribute is love. Love describes who God is and how He feels about us - that He desires to be with us and have an eternal union with us. God commands that we love Him and one another. It is through loving Him that we discover how much we are loved by Him, and then we are able to pass that love on to others. Love is the soul’s greatest need, and even our health is better when we know that we are loved. Love brings security and calms us. Every other virtue has love as its foundation. [The Pursuit Of Virtues, 1999].
“Love one another, as I have loved you.” - John 15:12
Passing God’s love on you, precious friends…To God be the glory!
Please visit Spiritual Sundays for other encouraging posts. Thank you sisters Charlotte and Ginger for hosting this special place...
The message for Valentine's Day is that God loves you, no matter who you are, what your situation is, or what you have done. If you let Him into your life, you will be changed forever. Alleluia.
What a lovely post for Spiritual Sundays and Valentine's Day! I'm so glad that God loves me and has a future for me. I would be absolutely lost without Him in my life. My life is so much better because of His love! Hallelujah!
What an uplifting video and of course, your posts always uplift me. Love you, sis. Happy Valentine's Day. So glad your son made it through the oral surgery and is recouperating. I'm praying.
Rosel, Praise God!!!! Praise God!!!! God has given these men a new life in HIM!!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!! Thank you for sharing such a powerful testimony for our Heavenly Father!!!! I LOVE you!!!! Your sister in Christ, Bren
This was such a wonderful post as always Rosel. God's love for us is sometimes so hard to really comprehend. Soo perfect and complete. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day my new friend and may God richly bless you. Hugs, Debbie
Rosel ~ Amen we are on our way and praise God we aren't where we used to be! (part of that song playing) What a moving video and I am so thankful for the prison ministry....what a blessing for these men and women to be able to serve, praise, worship, grow in HIM and share the Love of the Lord with others no matter where they are and what they have done! Forgiveness and mercy are theres forever and ever!
Praying for your neck my sweet sister and know I would hug you oh so gently as to not hurt you but would love you so much! Have a beautiful day of rest and enjoy your sweet DH and know the LOVE of the ONE true Love ~ Our Lord may HE wash over you with HIS love anew!!
Hi Rosel, I love the quote from the book... and this is another awesom video. It just touches me to realize that they are probably in prison where touching God is the break they have been waiting for!
What a beautiful video! Thank you for always showing us God in unlikely places. I love that about all your posts.:) Have a Happy Valentine's Day, Friend.
I love the way you show how to change one heart <3 at a time....always. That is how God creates them. That is how God changes them. One at a time.
Happy Valentine's Day Rosel! <3
ps. the first time my daughter texted me that "heart", I was puzzled at what it was, and asked for clarification. She texted back: "turn your head sideways to the right". <3

Thank you for sharing this amazing video. We hear so many bad things about prisons it is wonderful to know what God is doing there in the lives of the people there. Loved seeing the baptisms. Happy Valentine's Day. Charlotte
Thank you so much for sharing a portion of the completeness of God's love Rosel. That video was so annointed. I am passing that Love right back to you. I bet we just made our Father so happy. :)
A beautiful ministry filled with the love of God.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
God bless you always.

ReplyDeleteHow Sweet and Awful Is the Place
ReplyDeleteHow sweet and awful is the place
With Christ within the doors
While everlasting love displays
The choicest of her stores.
While all our hearts and all our songs
Join to admire the feast
Each of us cry with thankful tongues,
“Lord, why was I a guest?”
“Why was I made to hear thy voice
and enter while there’s room,
When thousands make a wretched choice
And rather starve than come?”
‘Twas the same love that spread the feast
that sweetly drew us in;
Else we had still refused to taste
and perished in our sin
Pity the nations, O our God,
Constrain the earth to come;
Send thy victorious Word abroad
and bring the strangers home.
We long to see thy churches full,
that all the chosen race
may with one voice and heart and soul
sing thy redeeming grace.
Isaac Watts
