Handle With Care By Brenda Drake

            God so loved the world He sent His Son Jesus to die to save all who would receive Jesus and would believe in the work He accomplished on the cross.  Because He died for every man, woman, and child we need to treat every person as precious property of God.  We are very wise if we handle each person with care.

Handle With Care

The package’s message is very clear,
It says “Fragile, handle with care.”
Extra effort is needed to move it from one place to another.
When precious it is carefully wrapped and fully covered.
The gift travels many miles perhaps;
In its journey through many hands it may pass.
Everyone that touches it makes the choice to treat it with care,
Or, too harshly handle…. of its treasure unaware.

<<<<>>>>

Now in this word is also a truth for all to see,
Each person is fragile and very important to Me,
I love them all so very much;
I form and cover them with love’s touch.
I breathed into them eternal life forevermore.
Each individual is created to glorify the Lord.
Each person is fully covered by the Blood of the Lamb;
So they are able to arrive safely into Kingdom land.
But some arrive broken and tainted by sin and shame,
For in their free choice they have rejected Jesus’ name.
Since you the contents within every heart are left unaware;
My request is to handle each person with care.

John 13:34
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you,
that ye also love one another.

Romans 12:10
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love;
in honour preferring one another;

Shared Aroma By Brenda Drake

It is good to recognize those in our life that makes the air sweeter around us.  They may need an encouraging word all they do is appreciated.  We all have special people in our life that make the world a better place. Lord help us to communicate our love and respect for their contribution and their service to You and to others.

Shared Aroma

When you think of a rose on the vine,
Its sweet aroma immediately comes to mind.
They are an appreciated gift;
On special occasions to your spirit lift.
Unless under special care all their petals fall.
The sweet aroma leaves last of all.

There are many in God’s kingdom like this.
They are like the rose and too are a special gift.
Lovely, sweet aroma comes from their life.
Their hearts are filled with praise to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Petals fall here and there,
As their aroma is with others shared.
God is pleased with them. but at times they do not believe it is so.
They feel useless and almost invisible.
Would you, could you do a favor for yourself and for them too?
Tell them you love and appreciate all they have done and still do.

Ephesians 5:2
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering

and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

Romans 12:10
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
