love everywhere. Christians are tremendously favored to have the great teachings to help them know God. 

Warren Wiersbie says: "Remember this. As Christians, we do not live on explanations. We live on promises"

The true promises of God are with us, as we live by faith and not by sight. God will forever remain faithful to His word. A real evidence of God's love is that He wishes His love to spill over into our entire life; in the words we say, actions we take, and every relationship we make.  In dealing with people, God wishes that His love becomes the only currency we spend to pour out our love from our hearts into the hearts of those around us. Just as Paul taught in Ephesians 5:2 (KJV) "And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor."

 It is especially after answered prayers, that our link with the Father is strengthened and we feel His caring love.     In this special month of Grandparents, I think of our own grandchildren and God's love in action. When they wish to taste our measured love for them, they approach us while they are discouraged, passing through some difficulties.   As we help and see them through, they eagerly SEE.. and FEEL.. and KNOW that it is with God's true love that we love them.      

The following story is one that touches my heart. It tells me how God's love is uncovered and appreciated by an innocent child.

 One extremely cold and frosty Christmas morning found a small poverty-stricken boy on his own. He was frail, shivering standing by a shoe store; he stared longingly through the shop window, at a certain pair of shoes that were his foot size.  As the store owners, a middle-aged couple, living at the back of the store, were having their Christmas lunch, they saw the desperate  boy.  The wife hurried out with a woolen cloak, covered the child and brought him into their home. With flowing tears, she warmed his frail body near the fireplace, clothed him with new warm clothes and gave him some hot soup.  Overwhelmed, the child ate and watched her as she gently cleaned his feet, and placed on them the pair of shoes he early admired. This great act of love touched his heart tremendously! He was thrilled beyond words.  Then it was time for him to leave. With the greatest appreciation the thankful boy, hugged his benefactress so hard and looking in her eyes very truthfully asked: "Lady?...Are you Mrs. God?" 

To recognize the love of God behind great acts is a wonderful blessing . This is the most important asset, required as an  ingredient in the service of our awesome God.  One of the characters to be commended in this area is non other than the renown King David in the Bible. His psalms confess his discovery of the true measure of God's love and faithfulness toward His children. For this reason God chose and anointed him as king.

Psalm 78: 70, 71 tells us, "He chose David also, and took him from the sheepfolds; from following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance." (KJV)
