Uncompromising love!

I got to hear Steven Curtis Chapman on Dr. Dobson's program today. It was a comforting broadcast, even entitled, The God of ALL Comfort. Steven emphasized that the Bible states that God is the God of all comfort and that that truth has helped his family cope with their grief. He also said that he was not angry at God, but angry at the enemy of God. I could totally relate to that point. As Satan has almost kept at an attacking stance on me and Zach and lately David, it has been apparent to me that the enemy is wanting to work overtime right now to attack the people who have been most open to doing things for God and to pouring His truth into the lives of those around them. Satan is attacking and we need to attack back. We need to have an uncompromising love that says, "Not my marriage Satan, and not my children Satan". This is a time of heated up battle in the spiritual realm, and the Lord has called us to not faint or grow weary, but to believe and fight the good fight with the armour of God. The battle is the Lord's but we must be dilligent in our prayer life and in standing firm with our family and friends in prayer. I am reminded today that God's love is not changed or shaken because of great tragedy or Satan's attacks. God's love is unshakable and we are vessels the Father's love is to flow through. So, today God, in honor of Maria Sue, and my wonderful gifts David, Zachary, and Andrew, I offer myself as a living sacrifice and state that your love can flow through me in spite of what is happening in the physical realm, and that I will not be shaken if I hold firm to your word, your voice and your people and your songs! Thank you that the TRUTH will set you free and that what Satan has meant for evil, you will use for good. Alleluia to the Lord! He is mighty to save. All will bow to Him one day, and He is the Lord of Hosts! Let my love not be compromised because of people who let me down or hurt me. Let me love as Jesus loved, unconditionally and fully! Love covers a lot of sins and it draws all to the Father, the author of love! Jesus we praise you!~ We lift up your name! We know that Maria Sue is dancing in heaven, and we look forward to the day we can all dance with you! Thanks for the ministry of the Chapman family! Bless them today and pour out your perfect peace on their hearts and their homes. Fill that home with a joy unspeakable, because you are able and because you care about their hearts. Let not their hearts be troubled, as they claim that they believe in you and that you have OVERCOME the world! Praise be to the one true God. His love can comfort anyone in any situation! Thank you Lord for your sacrifice and your saving us! Help us to keep sharing your love with the world! Maria Sue, you are not forgotten, but I think many will come to know your dad's music who never would have, except for the news that your passing to heaven brought to the world. May many souls be saved and Satan paralyzed in his attempt to bring down the Chapman's ministry. Bring reconcilation Lord and healing! Love, L
