Karen, Understanding how to love God in all the ways Jesus and the Jewish scripture set out is a difficult task for most if not all people. Even when I examine myself, I am never sure when or if my own feelings have interfered with my best intentioned actions, speech and thought. The fact that God is, to many people, an abstract being makes the act of loving Him absolutely, even more of a challenge. To me, I imagine that God is a neighbor that is near me when ever I need Him, and this helps me to love Him. Still I am certain that I fall far short of meeting these commandments. Thank you for an excellent message that helps me think about my actions, thoughts and words in relation to loving my God and my neighbors. Bruce
Thank you for this. Indeed faith without action is empty and deeds need to be carefully thought out lest we fail in the eyes of the lord and our brothers.
Thank you, Karen for focusing me our blessed Jesus this Psalm Sunday & who am I in this parade❤
You are so welcome, Ruth. So glad you could watch and focus. ❤
Thank you Karen💗 Thought provoking!!!!

Thank you Ruth! I’m so glad you listened. I so appreciate your blessing and receive it fully. ❤
Thank you Karen for your reflections from your trip. I won’t look at Rebar the same again! May your Rebars of Hope blossom & bloom fully as God predestined. In The Name of JESUS. Amen.

Thanks, Karen - this was really well written with excellent structure as a sermon as well as having a good message. I love this passage, been too long since I've really paid closer attention to the detail of it, much appreciated.
Thank you Pastor Karen for your wonderful message. God is with us when we call on Him. He wants our hearts, minds and soul.
God bless our world, and bring the unbelievers to see your love, your glory in this time of trial.
Amen Gerri.
Yes, God is in control and He is good. He's bringing us to reflect on our lives and encouraging us todo good for our fellow man. Keep in touch and reach out where you can.
