tortured for Christ


Recommended Posts

I have a new coworker and we laugh together a lot.

It's been really nice, and when praying this morning , I asked the Lord why it was so nice to laugh with Lisa

I haven't had such a nice time with someone in over 15 years, before the last friend I had died.

And I know some really nice people.

And the Holy Spirit said, "She would endure torture for you and not betray you. You are safe with her."

That was quite a testimony of a friend -- what a friend is, from God's viewpoint.

How beautiful KIT. I think about this often. I feel it comes down to the LOVE/charity aspect. When God said "love your neighbor as yourself", many people look at themselves and say 'well, I need to love myself more.' But that is not the case. We already LOVE ourselves enough to wake up, get dressed, stuff our faces, buy things, etc.................so really, we should love others at the least just as much. It is a beautiful thing when you find a friend like that. It reminds me of the love God and Jesus had for us.

This song by Steven Curtis Chapman is one of my favorites,

No Greater LOVE

Man of courage with your message of peace

What is that look in your eyes?

Why have you come to this faraway place?

What is this story you would lay down your life to tell?

What kind of love can this be?

There is no greater love than this

There is no greater gift that can ever be given

To be willing to die so another might live

There is no greater love than this

Broken hearted from all you have lost

How can you sing through your tears?

What is this music that can bear such a cost?

What is this fire that grows stronger against the wind?

What kind of flame can this be?

This is the love that God showed the world

When He gave us His Son

So we could know His love forever

Beyond the gates of splendor
