NO BOUNDARIES

   We have divided the world into parcels.  This parcel belongs to me, and this one belongs to you.  We call them parcels and states and countries.  We make borders, and you can't cross them.  It is the laws we make.  Life may be horror on the other side, but "you" can't cross.  For God so loved...!
   There is a scripture in Genesis:  God created the "world" and everything in it.  If we trace our lineage back to Genesis, we are all related.  John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son."
    Psalm 50:12   Matthew 5:14    Mark 16:15    John 1:29    John 16:33, 18:36, 17:24   Romans 3:19               1 Corinthians 3:19     2 Corinthians 5:19    1 John 2:2

   If you ask God a question, expect an answer!  It may not go along with your programming, and may leave you with more questions, but He will answer!  Change has to come with me first.  My thinking, my programming, must change.  How much of my programming is based on fear of what I may be challenged with if I change my thinking.  Jesus gives us a huge challenge.  Love knows no boundaries.  Love, acceptance, peace, security, food,  clothing:  We all need these things for ourselves and our children.  No boundaries--a unique thought.  Can we live with it?  God says yes, but it will take a change of heart and to see ourselves in every mother and child.  Better yet, to see God in every face and in the eyes of simple needs.
   Love, joy, peace, safety, and grace to all who follow Jesus.  Romans 8:5  Ephesians 4:23  Rev. 2:23

    Here's a thought for us:  Now what do we do with it?  Mark 9:23.  God wins!

   Lord Jesus, make a way where there seems to be no way.  When I am weak, then I am strong!  Just ask!
       Mark 9:23

In His Love,  a work in progress.

  1. I wish we could see our distant cousin in everyone we meet...how would that change everything? But the scripture speaks of wars and rumors of wars and so it goes...I believe we are called to love our neighbor as ourselves and if everyone did just that what a place it would be! I seem to fall short of that almost everyday, however. Help us Lord to love as you loved!!
