Title: Agape Love!

-

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8 KJV
Devotion: The Bible has a great deal to say about love. In fact, the Bible says that “love is of God” and “God is love” (1 John 4:7–8); in other words, love is a fundamental characteristic of who God is. Everything God does is impelled and influenced by His love.
  The Bible uses several different words for “love” in the Hebrew and Greek, interchanging them depending on context. Some of these words mean “affectionate love”; others indicate “friendship”; and still others, “erotic, sexual love.” There is also a distinct word for the type of love that God displays. In the Greek, this word is agape, and it refers to a benevolent and charitable love that seeks the best for the loved one.
  It is this agape love that God has for you and me, therefore God does not want us to perish. He, thus looked away from your sins, my sins and makes a way of escape for us 2 Samuel 14:14c ....... : yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him by giving us His son Jesus Christ (John 3:16) as propitiation for our sins.
  Dearly beloved if God because of His love can forgive your sin would you not forgive that neighbour, colleague or family member who sinned against you. Ability to forgive Sin is the Hallmark of born again Christian, show the world today that you're a born again Christian. I'm waiting for your testimony. Hallelujah!

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
