LOVE DARE #19

Day 19: Love is Impossible

LOOK BACK OVER THE DARES FROM PREVIOUS DAYS. WERE THERE SOME THAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO YOU? HAVE YOU REALIZED YOUR NEED FOR GOD TO CHANGE YOUR HEART AND TO GIVE YOU THE ABILITY TO LOVE? ASK HIM TO SHOW YOU WHERE YOU STAND WITH HIM, AND ASK FOR THE STRENGTH AND GRACE TO SETTLE YOUR ETERNAL DESTINATION.

Okay, don't laugh. When you were little, did you ever wish you lived with the Jetson family? (Animated cartoon show - did I just give away my age?) The Jetsons could travel in their miniature rockets to planet Jupiter to work, play on Neptune, or make things happen with the push of a button.

Didn't happen, though - not within my power. In fact, there are many things not within my power - most things. However, I can tap into God's power. So can you. Things are impossible without God's power - even impossible to fully love, forgive, and enjoy your spouse - your life. So, how do we get that kind of power? Only one way - by asking Jesus into our hearts through faith in Him (John 3:16). Go ahead, check it out. You'll be glad you made this "trip" - it affects your eternal destination.

VERSE FOR TODAY'S DARE: "Let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God" (1 John 4:7).
THOUGHT FOR TODAY'S DARE: Surrender (yourself), receive (His power), and do the impossible - (Matthew 19:26).

Blessings for "safe travel" today,
Dale and Susan Crook
