James 2:23 (ESV) Abraham believed God, & it was counted to him as righteousness” & he was called a friend of God.  Ex 33:11 Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. Acts 13:22 (BSB) After removing Saul, He raised up David as their king & testified about him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart; he will carry out My will in its entirety.’ — Our God is looking for friends! —2 Chron 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD move to & fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His”—Our God is looking for a heart that is completely His! — Luke1:30 The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

— Our God looks for those He favors! — Jud 6:12 The angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon & said, “The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor.” — Our God looks for those to be with! Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.— Our God is looking for those to give the kingdom. In it all Our God is looking for you! Love Mel

John 13:5 (ESV) He (Jesus) poured water into a basin & began to wash the disciples’ feet & to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around Him. John 13:14 If I then, your Lord & Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. John 13:8 (NIV)No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me.” 1Peter 4:10 (ESV) As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace:Gal 5:13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, & to give His life as a ransom for many. Matt 23:11 The greatest among you shall be your servant. — To serve is to give life to others as He has given to us! Jesus is trying to teach us the way to Him! Though it is free, we have the opportunity to use the gift for each other! Don’t forget to do it with love! Love Mel

1Cor13:13 (ESV) So now faith, hope, & love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 2Tim1:7 For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power, love & self-control. 

1 Cor16:14 Let all that you do be done in love.

1 Peter 4:8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. John 15:9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. Rom 12:9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.  Prov8:17 

I love those who love Me, & those who seek Me diligently find Me. — To Abide in Love is to stay in love for all eternity! This is perfect unity, one with the Father, Son & Holy Spirit. We will find His love when we Seek Him with all diligence! That is real love! Love Mel

Psalm 23:1 (KJV) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. John 10:11 am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth His life for the sheep. Isaiah 40:11 He tends His flock like a shepherd; He gathers the lambs in His arms & carries them close to His heart. 1 Peter 5:4 When the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away. John 10:27-28 My sheep hear my voice, & I know them, & they follow me: &  I give unto them eternal life; & they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. — All this from our Shepherd Jesus Christ!
