Tonight as I'm at work, I have the song, "I've got that joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart, ... where?!, .. down in my heart!, ... where?!, .. down in my heart, ...I've got that joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart......down in my heart to sttaaayyy, .. and I'm so happy, so very happy, I've got the love of Jesus in my heart!, .. and I'm so happy, so very happy!, I've got the love of Jesus in my heart!" Man, what a great and fun song!
Another childhood song I love to have in my head is, .... "He's still working on me, to make me what I ought to be.... It took Him just a week to make the moon and the stars, the sun and the Earth and Jupiter and Mars... How lovely and patient He must be, ...He's still workin' on me". So TRUE! Talk about patience. Whenever I complain about my timeline not lining up with God's, he's by far patient with my spats and complaints and if only I were more faithful and patient, I'd realize just how perfect His timing always is :)
"Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus, Oh for grace to trust Him more..."

Love God, Love Others, Serving the World
The title to today's blog is one that holds dear to my heart. "Love God, Love Others, Serving the World." This is the mission statement to the church I attended while in Fort Worth, Texas, Hallmark Baptist Church.
This is what they have to say about this phrase, ...
1. Love God
"Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind'
Matthew 22:37
2. Love Others
'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
Matthew 22:39
3. Serve the World
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
Matthew 28:19-20
Above all else, each day I wake, I pray I am able to show my love to others through my love for the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). Without the Trinity, there is no life as Paul says it in Philippians 1:21.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."
Prayer:To not be hindered by the things around me but to press on running with endurance to what God has set before me in order to love him more each day through both word/praise and deed/service.
"Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you."
~Psalm 63:3
Amen.
