Love others.

Holy God,

Thank You. I got to wake up thinking how grateful I am to be loved by You. As well as singing ♪Some gotta win, some gotta lose Good Time Charlie’s Got the Blues♪

Try as I might the song just doesn’t completely go away. And then it’s back. If there’s something here You want me to learn I’m asking (Matthew 7:7a) to be receptive to Your teaching.

Yes Lord. I love You. And I’m amazed when I follow various ways of thinking back to Your Word.

(6:51 a.m.)

You definitely have me thinking! Still following the Good Time Charlie lead, I find a country artist by that name who’s written a song regarding the judgments of others. 

It was "inspired by real life experiences and challenging conversations" with people who have a problem with him leading worship on Sundays and singing in bars, wineries and venues outside the church. Father, thank You for the ways You get our focus back on You.

Taken from Luke 6:37, [Good Time] Charlie Mariscal wastes no time in singing Your Truth. ♪Jesus doesn’t have a problem, why do you?♪

(7:40 a.m.)

Father, thank You for another way of reminding me that we are to LOVE others, not judge them. Mm, yes. It took more than minute for me to get here. Teach me how to love better than I do.

I love, need, trust and want You, Lord. Do all You must in making me receptive to Your teaching. Use me as You alone know is best. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
