Title: True Love.

-
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
Luke 6:27‭-‬28 KJV
Devotion: Welcome to the month of August, I pray for God's guidance, protection and blessings for all who read the devotionals in Jesus name, amen.
True Love is found only in the father in that He gave us His son to die in our place. He(God) loves us even as we do not love Him and do what He(God) does not like(sin). 
 Those of us who claim that we are followers of Jesus do we emulate God? Do we love all including our ENEMIES(the people who deliberately do evil to us, some even confess they hate us). Most of the time we find it very difficult to love such people, we hate them we don't associate with them. 
 Yeah humanly speaking we are right but when we have given our lives to Christ were no more live humanly we live spiritually, we are filled with the Holy Spirit and it guides us and teaches us to live according to the will of God.
 Therefore dearly beloved, if we truly are followers of Jesus, we should love all like Jesus did. He prayed for those persecuted Him, those who say evil things of Him. We should love our enemies and pray that God change them and bring them into the knowledge of the word of God. We may not live with them if they can harm us but we can pray that they repent of their evil ways.
  Dear reader how do you handle such people, share your experience with us. 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 ...
