Luke 1:37

For with God nothing will be impossible.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.
John 13:34-35

These Scriptures come to mind tonight. I declare I have seen the miracles of God through all of you~ through your love for people you don't even know.

Oh, come...come and see what the LORD has done! Come and see right here in Santa Rosa! Some say that the newspaper and the tv need to come and see. Some say we need a picture to remember. But I daresay we won't forget this and it's because all of this isn't about us...it's about what God is doing in each of us. And that is why although I am tired tonight, I am so full of joy and love for all of you. All glory to God. Having the tv or a headline wouldn't make this feeling any more real or any more important. I think we'd all agree. All of us working together, hands extended and our focus on others, THAT is what it's all about!

Don't forget this, don't forget what God is doing with US! We've put the emphasis off of our needs and wants and shifted them to others. Sure, it's taken time, money and effort, but HOW does it make you feel? We need to see that God isn't far from any of us, He's in all of us. It doesn't have to take a tragedy to know what God can do for us and what works he wants us to do for others. It's simple.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and then love others.

Look what He has done!

I ask all of you, all of you who have been here and driven by...if you have ever doubted yourself or thought that God wasn't or isn't present in your life...come out, come out from wherever you are at this very moment and just remember that God is in the details of your life and He has a purpose for you~ and He will meet you right where you're at...even if it is infront of your computer!
