Devotional Life With Paul and Jeanne

#571 Recognize what isn’t Love.    So very many over the ages have tried to tell us what love is and what it is not. Just imagine how many books, articles, songs have been written on the subject. But oh how great to be able to see, to read and to learn from, the One who is love, who came here and spoke, walked and lived out love before us, that would be Jesus, God in human flesh. What is love and...

#570 God’s Character Is LOVE. How do you define love? Is love defined individually or is there a reliable definition for all? How about God, can a match be made between Gods character and love? This is so important a subject and so valuable an understanding that each of us can greatly benefit from. Let’s talk…. 

#569 Checking our Motivations.    Ever wonder to yourself; why do I do the things I do?  As well as; what is the actual purpose of my actions, what am I trying to accomplish? This is especially valuable when thinking about the things we do to show our love for others and for God?  Let’s do some digging and see what is behind the true motives of our heart.  Let's ponder these all important issues r...

#568 Pray Like Jesus Prays.    It is time for us to begin to think of prayer as an act of love and for us to let that act of love flow.  Jesus loves you and He is praying for you, interceding over your life as our High Priest in Heaven at the right hand of the Father. So who are you going to love today through the act of prayer?  Let’s get to it and talk this out now….  

#567 Compassionate in Action.     God has compassion on us, what a blessing.  He knows our conditions and circumstances, He even came here to live with us, and from Him came acts of loving compassion. He was and is love with arms and legs and now we are those who are His arms and legs, so let's get loving.  And let’s get talking.         

#566 Forgive Like You Need To Be Forgiven.     Did you know that the religious leaders of Jesus day, in order to lower his reputation, called Him “The friend of sinners”?  They saw that title as a complete put down.  However for those who know they are sinners, and in need of forgiveness of sins the title is one that brings comfort, for Jesus waits on the humble who call out to HIm to be forgiven....

#564 Sharing Gods Love With Those Around Us.  What would you say is the great telltale sign that you are a follower of Jesus Christ? Here is another way to put this; How do folks know that you are truly a Believer?  Let’s talk now about the greatest way to show that God has impacted your life….            

#563 Love Like Jesus Did.    Do you have any people in your life that you would consider role models?  How about a specific role model for love?  Because we Believers know the Person who actually is Love, love with arms and legs who walked among us.  So let’s look at Love, which is to say let’s look at Jesus.  Today we consider the very best Role Model for Love.                    

#562 All Aboard the Love Train.    Why exactly are we loving towards others?  What is the motivation of our hearts?  And where does our supply of love come from?  Are we loving in order to be seen as a loving person by others?  Our hearts and the motivation that comes from them tells the real story.  Just might be time for some pause and reflection. Let’s get into it now….                       

#561 Do I always like someone that I love?     Can you greatly dislike what someone is doing and still show them love?  In such a circumstance, can we really give God's love to that person freely?  One more before we jump to the discussion; Can we look at others through the eyes of God’s love?  Here we go, let’s talk, right now….                         

#560 Is Love My First Go To?     Here’s and expression you are likely to have heard; “you can not give away what you do not have.”  Oh how true that is, and when it comes to God's love and those times when we are lacking in love.

#557 Rescued by Love.    Imagine reaching out to God, Almighty, Everlasting God and calling him in the same way a child calls out to a loving dad.  You see the LORD of glory will love and adopt those who come to Him in faith, faith in His Son who is risen from the dead and forgives sins.  Are you His son or daughter?  Will you be found in His loving arms for eternity?  Let’s explore this reality r...

#556 Get filled up with Love.    Interesting that what can fill our needs is gone after by some as a last resort.  And what is that, Gods love.  Which is readily available for the asking.  Remember that old song; What's love got to do with it?  How about this, everything!  But the kind of love we are speaking of is very very specific.  It is Gods love, the richest commodity in all the universe.
