"Our Deputy Sheriff"

A woman was trying to teach her class the Lord's prayer and one little boy would not say the words "Our Father who is in heaven...." She found out that his dad locked him and his sister in a motel room and left them. After a couple days a deputy sheriff found them. They were hungry and frightened. The next week, the woman asked the boy, "What would you like to say?" He said, "Our deputy sheriff...." So now he would say the prayer. "Whoever does not love has not become acquainted with God (does not and never did know Him), for God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest (displayed) where we are concerned; in that God sent His Son, the only begotten or unique Son into the world so that we might live through Him." (I John 4:8-9) Amplified Bible "There is no fear in love (dread does not exist), but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror). For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and (so) he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love (is not yet grown into love's complete perfection). We love Him, because He first loved us. If anyone says, 'I love God,' and hates (detests, abominates) his brother in Christ, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen." I John 4:18-20 Amplified Bible There is no fear in love. God is love. People hate. People choose to do wrong. Jesus paid for what is wrong - what people do wrong. He is the doorway to our Father in heaven - our Father is love. Read one verse in the morning and one verse at night from I John chapters 4 & 5 for a whole year. Think about it. Take off the "glasses" of the world system and live your life in these 2 chapters. You will have peace in your heart, and a good pair of "boots" to walk on the broken glass and stones of the world system. You will never be the same. And when you need a friend, a real friend, go to your Father "Who sees in secret." He is waiting for you now. Randy Stahla
