26-28 Feb. 2017 Love and Prayer – Short
Devotion by Dorothy Callies
We
went with a deaf group and we had a good time when we were at Museum of Titanic
in Peoria last Friday the 24th of February, 2017 in honor to
celebrate a month early 80th birthday of Tony Callies for March 24th.
If you want to wish him a happy 80th
birthday, his email is tonycallies75@icloud.com.
Yeah!
Tony will be 80 soon and how time flies! It made me think of what have we truly
done? I read the verse that God had led
me to share: “They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and
flourishing.—Psalm 92:14 (NKJV). What an
encouragement from the Lord who spoke to us through His word!
When we were younger we were able to
do great many things, but now when we became older, we do things differently. Most of all, love is the very best gift we
could give to God and to others. We
could still bear fruit of love in old age and it’s always fresh and flourishing
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
To me, that is a miracle that our
love for one person may seem to be a small action, but love is the greatest
gift of all (1 Cor. 13:13). Our love
fulfill our whole duty to God and to our neighbor whether you’re young or
whether you are older.
It is like love never dies ... for
God is love and love is God (1John 4:7).
The Scripture tells us to “keep yourselves in the love of God, looking
for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life” (Jude 1:21).
And we can pray. Paul encouraged the Colossians to “continue
earnestly in prayer, being vigilant (be alert) in it with thanksgiving” (Col.
4:2). Our prayers are a powerful force
in the universe!
Love and prayer are mighty works
indeed, the mightiest works for any of us. Why? Because our God, who wants to
use us, is an all-loving and all-powerful God. God pours His love into our
hearts that it might flow out to others. Praise the Lord for that!
Now I would like to share one more
comment from friends:

Now
for the song, there are many songs about the “love,” but one thing impressed me:
Song: This is My
Commandment … (Jesus said)
This
is My commandment that you love one another,
That
your joy may be full.
This
is My commandment that you love one another,
That
your joy may be full,
That
your joy may be full, that your joy may be full.
This
is My commandment that you love one another,
That
your joy .. may.. be.. full….
(Inspiring
Choruses)
May
God bless you today!!
