.
So, today,
.
1. I will be grateful for those who have labored before me as I sing THANK YOU, FOR GIVING TO THE LORD... I AM A LIFE WHO WAS CHANGED...
.
John 4:37-38
'One sows, and another reaps.'
"I sent you to reap that
for which you have not labored;
others have labored,
and you have entered into their labor."
.
Thank You
(song from yesterday's video by Ray Boltz)
VERSE ONE:
I dreamed I went to heaven
And you were there with me
We walked upon the streets of gold
Beside the crystal sea
We heard these angels singing
Then someone called your name
You turned and saw this young man
And he was smiling as he came
And he said friend you may not know me now
And then he said, but wait
You used to teach my Sunday School
When I was only eight
And every week you would say a prayer
Before the class would start
And one day when you said that prayer
I asked Jesus in my heart
.
CHORUS
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am a life that was changed
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am so glad you gave
.
VERSE TWO:
Then another man stood before you
And said remember the time
A missionary came to your church
And his pictures made you cry
You didn’t have much money
But you gave it anyway
Jesus took the gift you gave
And that’s why I’m here today
.
CHORUS (repeat)
.
VERSE THREE:
One by one they came
Far as your eyes could see
Each life somehow touched
By your generosity
Little things that you had done
Sacrifices you made
They were unnoticed on the earth
In heaven now proclaimed
And I know that up in heaven
You’re not supposed to cry
But I am almost sure
There were tears in your eyes
As Jesus took your hand
And you stood before the Lord
He said, my child look around you
For great is your reward
.
CHORUS (repeat)
.
I am so glad you gave.
2. I chose and I daily choose to be born again into the family of love... it's a labor... for my family.... for God's family... for my enemies... it's transforming...
.
For my family...
.
Galatians 4:19
My children,
with whom I am again in labor
until Christ is formed in you"
.
For God's family...
Colossians 1:28-29
"And we proclaim Him,
admonishing every man and
teaching every man with all wisdom,
that we may present every man complete in Christ.
And for this purpose also I labor,
striving according to His power,
which mightily works within me."
.
For even my enemies...
.
Matthew 5:44-45
"But I say to you,
love your enemies,
and pray for those who persecute you
in order that you may be
sons of your Father who is in heaven..."
.
.
So, I continue to put names in the these blanks
and learn how to love God's way.
Yes, it is a LABOR OF LOVE...
at least 15 things to think about per person
from 1 Corinthians 13:
.
My love for __________ is patient.

BORN AGAIN
(song from yesterday's video and
our theme song this week by Third Day)
.
Today I found myself
After searching all these years
And the man that I saw,
he wasn't at all who I thought he'd be
I was lost when you found me here
And I was broken beyond repair
Then you came along
and you sang your song over me
It feels like I'm born again
It feels like I'm living
For the very first time
For the very first time in my life
Make a promise to me now
Reassure my heart somehow
That the love that I feel
is so much more real than anything
I've a feeling in my soul
And I pray that I'm not wrong
That the life I have now,
it is only the beginning
It feels like I'm born again
It feels like I'm living
For the very first time
For the very first time
It feels like I'm breathing
It feels like I'm moving
For the very first time
For the very first time
I wasn't looking for something
that was more Than what I had yesterday
Then you came to me
and you gave to me life and a love
that I've never known that I've never felt before
It feels like I'm born again
It feels like I'm living
For the very first time
I'm living for the first time
It feels like I'm breathing
It feels like I'm moving
For the very first time
I'm living for the first time
In my life...
.
BORN AGAIN!!!!
