[Ben Kenobi]

Yes, I love the injunction that we should be HAPPY when we fast. That's very radical.

"His love has taken over our lives; God's faithful ways are eternal."
Psalm 117:2 MSG

Run to Him!
God's love for you is not dependent on how you look, how you think, how you act, or how perfect you are. His love is absolutely nonnegotiable and nonreturnable. Ours is a faithful God.

No matter what you do, no matter how far you fall , no matter how ugly you become, God has relentless, undying, unfathomable, unquenchable love from which you cannot be separated. Ever!

Run to Jesus. Jesus wants you to go to him. He wants to become the most important person in your life, the greatest love you'll ever know. He wants you to love him so much that there's no room in your heart and in your life for sin. Invite him to take up residence in your heart.

[i][b]“I will forgive them for leaving me and will love them freely.â€

[Ben Kenobi]

This is why many who say, Christians stumble and fall, they make mistakes and they are a poor example for the rest of us.

What they forget that it is the weak, the lonely, the tired, the sick and the old and the young who love Christ because of who he is. They know that they need him, and so they reach out to the offer of love.

It's easy to spurn his love when you have a stablefull of suitors.

“Kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you.â€

[Ben Kenobi]

That reminds me of one of the sayings of Dr. King. He talks about the importance of every occupation.

"If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well."
