Unconditonal love

 Hello my friends,
How are you?

I have been thinking a lot about you recently, and I'm wondering how you are.

The days are bright, and the weather is much settled, now that it's spring time.

And I'm on holiday. which is an added bonus.

Andrei comes this week, which is exciting for all of us. we're very much similar. 

I enjoy his good morning texts reminding me to cast all my cares onto Christ.

So I want to challenge you today, to see how you're going in that area?

Are you doing it in your own strength? or have you got the strength of God behind you?

I'll give you an illustration,  recently I got a retro fitted e bike, that is, that I paid the bike mechanic to change over my gears and put in an electric system.

Did I feel the call of God to do so?

Maybe, but I wanted to use my bike, for more than just a fun ride on a nice day, I wanted power, to get my up the hill.

Now for people who have stayed here, know that we live on a nice hill. and I wanted the power. so we went for the high end, range of power, to put on my bike, as I'm hoping to use my bike on Sundays when I start a bit later at the school, and get rid of my fat.

I have to go up 2 hills, to get to work, and I was done filling up my car with petrol, I wanted to change my ways a bit and retro fit my  bike into an e bike.

it takes 8 hours to charge from flat, which it is right now.

I wanted a life style change.

And sometimes we need to do that, we need to get the tug of God on our hearts and make the change.

My friend, are you making it work in your own strength? or do you have the power of Christ behind you, because dear firneds just like the power on my bike, when you have that power of God in you, you are free from making it on your own.

Jesus loves us unconditonaly, he loves you just the way he is, and he knows that we can't make it on our own.

Sometimes we need that transformation, in our lives, that make us from being Bla, to extraordinary.  to excellerate a bit in his love to propel us forward.

On my bike I have a throttle, that I can use to boost me forward even more, if I want to zip along faster, or if I'm with someone, and they are fast I can use my throttle, to boost me forward.

Sometimes it's like that isn't that we need to have a little boost, to propel foward.

Jesus is the only one who can do that.

Rely on him to take you forward. you'll find ways of connecting with people, that you havent' thought of, new friend ships to be made, rather than onto the new thing.

What I think, is the more you put on the love of Christ, the more you think about being like him.

The more you grow, rather being dwarfed by what's around you.

The more you allow yourself to grow in God's word, and hear what he's saying to you, the more you love him.

So let him be your guide today, as you watch out for ways to love others, unconditonally, beceause Christ first loved you.
