Stop deceiving yourselves. If you think you are wise by this world's standards, you need to become a fool to be truly wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, "He traps the wise in the snare of their own cleverness." 1 Corinthians 3:18-19
As Solomon wrote in Proverbs...The instruction of the wise is like a life-giving fountain; those who accept it avoid the snares of death. Proverbs 13:14 (NLT). Good advice. Avoid the snares of death. We're all going to die sometime but there can be a lot of misery associated with death--so why unwisely hurry it! No smoking, fast driving, or fatty meals for me. Like Jesus taught--everything in moderation, but focus on Him--on our Heavenly Father. Amazing love from the Father. Good advice. Don't be deceived.
And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.

| If someone says, "I love God," but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don't love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see? | ||
| And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their Christian brothers and sisters. 1 John 4:17-21 Don't be deceived. Are you listening to God's advice? |
Prayer ~ Dear God, may our love grow and we not be deceived. No hate and no fear when we embrace your love.
Lord-please give Liberty a healing touch. Take away her fever and resolve the cause of it. May she wake this morning with renewed strength and her usual perky smile.
