Day 18: Jesus came to show us HOW to love.
Think about this: the religious leaders of His day are the very ones who hated Him. They are the ones who crucified Him! Now, Jesus didn't let them run Him over. He never backed down from their accusations. He wasn't afraid to speak the hard truth to their face. But --- when they crucified Him, He prayed that Father would FORGIVE T-H-E-M!!!
Let's think about this, guys. We've got to grasp this unconditional love of Jesus. His mercy...His grace....His compassion...His forgiveness. This is the example He left us. Boy, have we fallen far from reaching this. But, through His continual grace, we will acheive it, one sweet day....in Jesus Name.

A little about me...
- The Shepherds Fold
- Monroe, NC, United States
- I have found a "joy" in my life of turning someones so called "junk" and turning it into someone else's beloved treasure. It is amazing what a little love and care (and paint) can do. I love yard saling, thrift shopping, should I say trash digging?! Its all like treasure hunting, really.....you never know what you will find....and sometimes in the strangest of places. I started out painting signs on barnwood. I have been doing this for about 3 years now. I was homeschooled most of my life. When I graduated in 2007, I started selling my boards. But I later discovered how much I enjoy taking old furniture and painting it. Usually I paint it and then I sand alot of the paint off. The more chippy and banged up - the better! My prayer: that through all of this, you will come to meet the real, loving Jesus. He longs for you...because you are so precious to Him. He loves you with everything in Him. He is chasing after your heart...and He will never give up on you - never! "May the God of peace and that Great Shepherd of the sheep equip us with everything we need for doing His will...to HIM be the glory and praise....forevermore." Hebrews 13:20-21
