Well, thanks for finding this place today, guys. You gotta want it bad. And we do want the fellowship that we get here in the mornings and the worship and the getting to see guys. It’s really what it’s all about. And you know, we finished up that series on the five goals that we have in the wheel illustration. And Jesus is Lord of our life and going over each one of those God’s words a final authority in my life, I’m committed man of prayer. I’m linking together with like minded men, and I’m giving it away. And then we have the rim of the wheel, we talked about obedience. I’m going to start a new series, and it’s called Kingdom living. And we’re going to be looking at the Sermon on the Mount. You know, Rocky Fleming made the comment. He said, You know, there’s a lot more to God than we’ve gotten to yet. Can I get an amen from the congregation? You know, as I look around the room, I see a lot of mature guys, I see guys that have been in church a long time. You’ve been Christians a long time for the most of us. We’ve heard 1000 sermons, we’ve been to workshops and retreats, and Malibu’s and we’ve gone to marriage classes, read books, heard podcasts, listen to the preachers on Sunday. And still, there’s a lot to God that we haven’t gotten to yet. It’s a lifelong process is following Christ and being his disciple. And it’ll never end until we get to heaven. we all strive and strive to be perfect, because he is perfect, but it’s an unattainable goal here and on Earth. But you know, we need to be reminded every day and I get a chance to remind you every week of who we are, and why we’re here and where we’re going and how we’re going to get there.
So, you know, I was asking the Lord, and I happened to be asking him after I’d watched some news, which I hardly ever do, and I swore off of it again after that. But it made me hate my enemies. And so I looked at it up in the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus was talking about that. Because you know, what he’s doing is he’s constantly calling me up higher, to live a life that he died on a cross to give me. One of the things that he did, wouldn’t teach it on the Sermon on the Mount and didn’t did it. It goes against all logic, our sense of fairness, all worldly wisdom, in ways and right practices. The sermon on the mount is talking about a new kingdom. And that’s what Jesus came to give. If you ask him why he came, it’s a I came to introduce people to a new kingdom. It’s the kingdom of God. And that’s what john the baptist preached. And that’s what Jesus preached. And they were preaching a message of repentance. They were preaching the gospel message. And that’s the message I need to hear all the time and be reminded and be grateful. I’m thankful for that I have in Christ, all that he’s done for me. And john 15, he was talking to his disciples, and they, they understood the whole process and hierarchy of, I’ve got a guru, and I’m his disciple, and I’m his follower. And the whole point of following the Guru is to listen to him teach and watch him live his life and become just like him, and have a strong family resistance to their father in heaven. And so Jesus told his disciples in john 1513, he said, Greater love has no man than this, and he would lay his life down for his friend. I have called you friends. You’re no longer servants, but friends. You know, what these young man had been taught all their life in Torah school, and all that they were taught about the Pharisees. They’ve been taught Well, I’ll get to that in a minute. Now, I want to make a few more introductory comments. Peter said, I’ll lay my life down for your sake. Jesus, I’ve been telling them and I’m going to go to Jerusalem and they’re gonna arrest me and beat me and mocked me and spit on me and humiliate me strict medicine stripped me naked and hang me on a cross and they said, Peter goes, I’m not gonna let that happen. I’ll lay my life down for you. And you know, Peter minute. And I’d like to be able to say things like that I lay my life down for you. I really believe I would for my wife. I believe I would for My children but well I for Jesus Christ. And what does that mean anyway? That I’m going to lay my life down for you? Well, Peter had a sense of the heroic magnificence. You know, something like I’m going to be a martyr, I will always stand by you and be loyal to you. And that’s what we say in our wedding vows in that I’ll be there through good times, and bad and rich times in poorer in sickness and in health, I’ll be faithful here. Well, those are the kinds of things that we say. And we really mean him when we say him, but living them out is a whole different ballgame, a man actually being that guy that’s going to be there in good times, and especially in bad and rich times. And how about those poor times, and those healthy times? But how about those sick times, and we got a lifetime of living with our wives and children. And living as faithful dads that they can depend on that they can write poems about. The sense of our duty is, is what most of us respond to, I have a duty to do this. And you know, when we’re following Christ, or you’re following someone, you have a officer and your army, or coach that you played for. And I can remember the coach who we played for when I was growing up, and I had him as a coach from time I was 11 years old until I went to college. And I would have had him for a year in college if I had gone to Florida State because he left our high school and took an assistant coaching job at Florida State. But I learned a lot from him. And he gave me a lot of truth. He gave me a little bit of grace. But he gave me a lot of truth. And he taught me a lot. He told me
not to get picked off you remember when almost got picked off in a game he had sent me into pinch Ron for a catcher that just got to hit and we were late innings in a close game. And he sent me in I was just 15. And they were most of the guys on the team right Team 1718 years old. And now I’m getting to play much but I went into pinch Ron for the catcher when he got on first base. And the guy tried to pick me off almost got me a matter of fact, it was so close, we got a call it out just as well as he did say it but he called me say and then I was brushing the dirt off and I looked up and there was a guy trotting out of the dugout. And he sent a pinch runner in for the pinch runner. It was 17,000 people there. Of course, I wasn’t embarrassed trotting back to the dugout.
But those are the kinds of lessons that we learn as we’re going. We’re going through life.
And Oswald Chambers said this, it’s far easier to die physically than to lay down my life every day, out of the sense of his high calling on my life. In other words, he’s saying it’d be easier for you to just say I just want to die, and now die for Christ. And many people have done that. But he says it’s a lot harder for me to live every day fulfilling vows and promises living the life that Jesus Christ came to give me. That’s a lot tougher assignment takes a lot of patience. It takes a lot of commitment. And he says we’re not made for the brilliant moments, but we have to walk every day in light of them. For 33 years, Jesus laid out his life to do the will of the Father and john says, We ought to lay our lives down for the brethren. But it’s contrary to human nature to do. If I am a friend of Jesus, I must deliberately and carefully lay down my life for him. It’s difficult. And thank God it is difficult. Salvation is easy, because it costs God so much but the living it out every day. And that’s what Paul said over in Philippians two, the philippian church. He says work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
God saves a man and gives him the Holy Spirit and then says to him in effect. Now work it out. be loyal to me. While the nature of all things around me would tell me to be disloyal. Jesus has called us as friends. Stand loyal to your friend and remember That his honor is at stake in your bodily life.
You know, if you look in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew five, what you find is where Jesus was teaching this saying and and tell you the truth, or as we’re crossing, when they heard this says, Just let me read it you have to you have heard it said, that your love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies. bless those who curse you. do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you. Why, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he causes his son to rise on the evil in the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you What reward is, do not even tax gatherers do the same. If you agreed only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same? therefore your to be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect. So basically, Jesus is saying something that they were awestruck, I don’t think they even knew what to say or how to respond when he was teaching this. Because the Pharisees had taught that you love your neighbor and hate your enemy, and they define neighbor as Israelites. And everybody else was their enemy. So your neighbors Israelites, and they had a hard time getting along together, not to mention hate now everybody else it wasn’t it. So if you weren’t an Israelite, they hated you. And they, they justified it. But you can’t find anything in the Old Testament scriptures that link those two together that ever says, Love your enemies. Love your neighbor and hate your enemies. It’s just not there. What they did is I took a judicial thing where it’s God when he God was talking about it. And then in purgatory Psalms, where David is having all these evil, people come in against him. And these Collin fire down from heaven and asking God to judge them and to drop their crop, stop the rain and drop their crops and all the things that he prayed. It was it was a national thing. It was a judicial thing. It wasn’t a personal thing. And what the Pharisees did is they took it personally, David meant it for the glory of God judges people for Your glory, for the glory of the church. And that Pharisees took it it made it a personal thing, that now we get to and they were justifying hate and their enemies doing that. But I say to you love your enemies and bless those who curse you. The Pharisees said that neighbor was an Israelite even though the Pharisees tried to justify this teaching by the Old Testament. These two statements are not found anywhere in the Old Testament. The Psalmist is always referring to God’s church and for God’s glory. He was judicial, judging people for their sins. It was the honor of God that he was concerned about. So they deliberately destroyed the principle of God’s law, which is the great principle of God’s love. You know, my testimony about my dad is my dad was a country boy from Parish, Alabama, which is up in the hills of North Alabama. His dad died, his mom died when he was pretty young, his dad remarried. He cannot live grew up living with half brothers and step brothers and sisters. He played football in high school and had an opportunity to go to University of Alabama but by the will of God he didn’t and play football. But he didn’t even have enough money to go to college and on a scholarship. So he took the job with the Alabama power company and he worked for them for over 50 years till he retired. In the main while married mom and dad not me and my older brother. My dad was an alcoholic. He wasn’t a full blown raging alcoholic or anything like that. He was kind of a when I was growing up, it was more of a binge alcoholic. He might go two or three months without drinking and then he’d go on a tear and up on the couch in the den and have to sleep it off and where let it wear off for a week it take a week off work. But you know, my dad loved me. My dad would grab me by the leg when we’re riding in the car and go Let me show you how the horse eats corn. I’d be wiggling around. He grabbed me by the ear lobe and it said and finally one day I said dad that’s irritating. I want you to quit doing that. He said Don’t you know what that means said, Why means I love you when I do that.
So I never had a problem with dad tugging on my ear lobe anymore after that. When I was a teenager and starting to go out on dates, he had always asked me that, in a way, he didn’t have a lot of money. I can remember mom and dad one night when I heard some talk, and I crawled out of bed. And I was listening to what they were talking about. And they were talking about, she had four sisters and three brothers. Some of them are pretty successful and wealthy. And they were talking about which one they’re going to ask if they can borrow some money to pay the back rent on our apartment. So we didn’t have a lot of money, but dad worked real hard, and mom got some jobs, and we did better and later high school and college years. But you know, I told my dad one time and I wrote him a poem to I read it at the memorial service for him. But I told him in that, I don’t think I told him in the poem, but I tell I wrote about him dead. If you are drunk, and we’re sitting and I was sitting in the floor with your head in my lap, and everybody that I wanted to think well of me was surrounding us. I couldn’t be more proud of you. Love covers a multitude of sin. And my dad loved me. The Pharisees were kicking that under the bus. They were stopping it on the curb. They were violating God’s great principle of love. Love covers a multitude of sins. And I want to thank my dad. I don’t think of him being an alcoholic. I think of him loving me. Tell, you know, my air coming into all my ballgames. He worked out of town all week and come home on the weekends. And I remember playing basketball in high school and I’d be standing there. It midcourt was somebody shooting free throws, and I’d keep my eye on that door to see when he had come through the door to my game. He went to every game I ever played that if he was in town, mom carried us all over and wheel the car, fell a little lagers and take us to games. So that’s the kind of stuff I remember about dad. And what the Pharisees were doing is they were trying to trample under the kind of grace and compassion and love that God had for his children. And they made it legalistic and they turned it into hate, and bitterness and resentment, and spit known people. They felt that way about tax gatherers, they felt that way about anybody that one Jew, and they were wrong. And it caused a lot of misery in their life that caused a lot of fear. And that’s what it does. If you don’t have love, and you have Hate, hate is a terrible thing. It’ll kill you, physically kill you. It’s a burden that you don’t want to have to carry around. And we spend a lot of time trying to help men and girls. And great as a grown up to be grown men and women to still get over the wounds they have from their fathers. They get over the ones they have from their mothers, the ones that are supposed to love us and care for us and take care of us and encourage us and build us up. And they didn’t do it. And God was there all along. in every circumstance. If you read Psalm 139. He was making the difference and he makes a difference in her life today. Now you have to let him make a difference. And you have to acknowledge that difference because your mom or dad may have passed away without you ever getting things straight. ever find it in your heart to forgive them. To love them anyway. To sit to pray for them. And say Father, forgive them. They didn’t know what they were doing. Your dad’s dad probably didn’t love him. His dad probably didn’t love him the way he needed to be loved. And it’s generational sometimes. But you know, we get over all that’s those things in Christ. He comes he comes with his son and he has rain on the just in the dunk ninja so righteous and the unrighteous. So you got unrighteous guy over here and it’s rain and sunshine on his crops and they’re growing and you have a righteous cow over here and there’s rain and sunshine on his crops and they’re growing. And sometimes the this guy the unrighteous guy gets the rain and the righteous sky. unrighteous guy doesn’t get it. And then the righteous guy, unrighteous guy won’t share his water with him. And he won’t take care of him and he sees him as an enemy and so he withholds doing good. And that’s why life is if you want enemies, she has plenty of reasons and why As in times to get them in plenty of opportunities. So
they believe it’s working, there we go. If you agreed only your brothers, what more do you do and then that if you love Only those who love you, what good is that even tax gatherers do that. So what Jesus was doing is he was calling me and you up to a higher lifestyle in this new kingdom. They all things are passed away, we have a whole new ballgame now. And that new ball game requires us going up higher. And what does that mean? That means that I got to come closer. And Jesus described that in john 15, two, he said, If you abide in Me and my word abides in you, if you don’t, then if you come after me, he must deny yourself, take up your crops every day and follow me. And so it takes self denial to go up higher, you have to be done with yourself. You’ve heard it said before that you need to have tough skin and a tender heart instead of a sensitive skin to easily offended, easily hurt, easily wounded. And so Jesus was not easily wounded because he knew what was in the heart of man. It says Scripture says that he had people promising all the time, like Peter, I’ll lay my life down for you. But when it came down to doing it, Peter ran off and betrayed him and denied him three times. But he never was angry with Peter or he didn’t get resentful. He didn’t say I knew you would let me down. He never did any of that. is a God of mercy and grace and loving kindness and compassion. He’s gentle, and tender. And understanding. He accepts us away we are. So when when my dad, if and when my dad or your dad let you down. They don’t know what they’re doing. Forgive them that Father, they don’t know what they’re doing. They’ve been hurt and wounded themselves. And you start seeing life from God’s point of view. And you started watching and looking at people from God’s point of view. And God says give them grace. Do they need the truth? Yeah, sometimes. But if you’re giving them more truth than they’re asking for or ready for and you’re not giving them grace, you’re gonna have a problem. Give them counsel when they ask for counsel. Give them counsel when they’re open to counsel. But if they’re not open, don’t be throwing your pearls before swine. The Scripture says, just love them. The understanding of them, look for opportunities to serve them, that’s the new kingdom living. You don’t you love your enemies and those who persecute you, and you do good to them. When they’ve done bad to you, you do good to them. And that’s a higher up living. But to do that I have to deny myself, I have to tell myself that you’re dead to your you’re going to be dead to your own ability to be offended and hurt. Do you take it also personal because when you take everything personal, you’re going to get bitter and angry and resentful. You’re going to have pity parties. And that’s the way it takes you and that’s a road you go down. And God wants us to be free. And how do you be free by loving your enemies instead of hating and resenting and being bitter toward them? That’s a heavy burden to carry. And when Jesus says come to me all you who are weary and heavy laden, what do you think he was talking about? He wasn’t talking about guys has been working construction and lay in bricks in both flooring and they get worked up sweat and worked hard all day, although he they need rest is people that care around hate and bitterness and resentment, revenge. That’s a heavy burden. And it tears us down physically, and it certainly destroys our spiritual life. It’s so difficult to go to a prayer meeting when you just hate people. But to get over that, rather than go to Christ and repent, what we do is we justify and rationalize that. We get a resentment bank. And because that resentment bank is full of resentments things they’ve done, they’re actually guilty of it. It’s not like I misunderstood their comment, or the thing they did or did didn’t do. It’s all in my resentment bank so I can justify it. Because it’s so out there. I rationalize it. It’s okay to feel this way. It’s okay to hate them. So you just follow the fair Sacco legalistic rules of law. They deserve it.
But then you’ve if you’ve think you’re a Christian, and you’ve said that you’re a Christian and a follower of Christ, and you don’t acknowledge that this is sin, In your heart, that my bitterness and my anger is sin. And if it sin, then you need to repent. You need to ask forgiveness, you need to start doing good and looking for opportunities to serve those who despitefully use you who have, who have cheated you who have broken into your house and stoled your stuff and violated you. And that seems like too much to ask until you go to the cross, until you realize it not just all our centers, I’m a center. And I deserve to go to hell. I heard a recording, it was a 17 second recording the other day. And in that 30 years ago, the Russians tried to drill down to the center of the earth and they drilled with a drill seven and a half miles down into the core there. And then they broke through a chasm. In for 17 seconds before the microphone burned up. It called nothing but shrieks and crying and yelling, the most horrible things you could ever hear. And so you get the idea that matter broken into hell. Where I deserve to be. If I’m judged on my merit, I deserve to be in hell. I’m judged by my spirit, heart and attitude that’s fallen and sinful, insensitive and easily wounded, and wants revenge, and sarcastic and critical spirit, and contempt, and all those things that go along with it, then I deserve to go to hell. I can’t be good enough, I can’t keep the rules enough to get myself into heaven. So what I deserve is hail. And until I understand that what I deserve is hail. I’m not going to be a patient with you. But I think I deserve heaven. And I’ve worked hard and I’ve been a good boy. And I’ve given and I’ve served and that’s going to get me into heaven. I’m not going to be patient with you. Matter of fact, I’m going to judge you because you’re not doing as much as I’m doing. You’re not laying off the drinking or the smoking or the chewing or the profanity or the jokes. They still are filtered and salted in. So I’m going to judge you for that rather than pray for you rather than encourage you. Because judging if you want to judge them, are they guilty? Yeah, they’re guilty. The word God say, love those people that persecute you, that have attacked you. You need to start with your wife, and your children. And you can’t do anything right now about their heart towards you unless you know what you’ve done and you guilty and you need to go back and ask forgiveness and make it right the best you can. Maybe you can maybe you can maybe they’ll forgive you, maybe they won’t. But it’s up to me and you to go back and make it right if we know we’ve been wrong, and name our sin and ask forgiveness and hope that God will mend the relationship. And I mean, if it’s just a small thing, and they’ve they’ve there, they’ve got a wheelbarrow full of stuff they’ve done they need to ask forgiveness are but that’s not your business has trained them and God, your business is to take care of that one thing you got in your world, there are two or three. And that’s why God has called us to be and if you don’t do that, what good are you? Here’s an opportunity to go back and give grace where they’ve not given Grace is an opportunity to do good when they don’t wish your well. Here’s an opportunity to come up higher and live a lifestyle that the world takes notice of. And he goes ahead in this passage and says if they slap you on one cheek volunteer to turn the other cheek if they forced you to go one mile volunteer to go to. And we’ve talked about this before, but we need to be reminded that God calls us up to a higher place. And when I go that first mile I’m that’s a law. That’s what I have to do that. But when I volunteer to go to they don’t Well, they wonder what I’m all about. Why would you ever do that? That’s unusual. I have never had anybody volunteer to go the second mile. And I just slapped you on one cheek and you just turn the other? How could you do that? Most people feel the room for uppercuts. They curse they say I’ll get even but you didn’t do that. You turn the other cheek. Why would you do that? For the sake of my father in heaven so that you know that I’m a son of My Father in heaven. And when I slapped him on the cheek, he turned the other cheek. When I spit on him he did not curse me in return.
And when I put nails in his hands, he prayed for me and said Father forgive him. And when I jam the thorns on his head, it nothing Not enough, none of this teaching in the kingdom of loving your enemies is never going to make sense if you don’t go to the cross, if you don’t see yourself putting the nails in his feet in his hands, is the one that was Romans one those Jews, it was me driving the nail in his feet. It was me driving the nails in his hands. He was me sticking the sword in his side. And if I can’t get to that place, I’m never gonna love my enemies. because that’ll crush me. If I really own that, I really understand that it was my sin that nailed Him to the cross. He did it for me, so I wouldn’t have to carry around hate and bitterness. I could love those who don’t love me. He called me up to set me free. And this is a truth that sets men free. It’s the truth who can live and have peace in that peace that surpasses all comprehension, that grace, that patience and goodness and gentleness. Back in the GOP, I love people. I don’t just have to be arrows and that doesn’t last or phileo friendships and that doesn’t last. I can have a gap a love for people. Unconditional Love Love that can leap over any building or any offense or any wound. I don’t have to be wounded. I don’t have to be hurt. I don’t have to be insensitive. Are they wrong? Did they hurt me? Yes. How am I going to receive that? How will I respond? And if you’re not abiding in Christ, and if you’re not going to the cross, if you’re not spending time in his presence, if you’re not a real man of prayer, if you’re not hanging around with guys that are seeking to live higher lifestyles, higher meaning Holy Christ, like their life does. Jesus said you’re the salt of the earth, the the light of the world, let your light shine before men in such a way that they all see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. What are your good work, so they start teaching them out there in the Sermon on the Mount and he started with this. You’ve heard it said you could hate your enemies in love your neighbor. And Jesus says, but I say that’s not Kingdom living. That’s just the opposite. And that’s why one at one time he looked at the Pharisees and says, your of your father, the devil and your desires to do His will. And every time you open your mouth, all you can do is lie because that’s your native language. You’re a brood of vipers. And then the chosen the other night they john the baptist was talking and Jesus was talking to him and he says that brood of vipers got man that was classic. He says, You know what a viper. He says, don’t use it. Yeah, they’re they threw their mother’s stomach to be born, and they kill their mother in the process. And you call them a brood of vipers. You’re going to be nice to those guys or not. And so Jesus saw them they were trampling underfoot this lifestyle that he came to give us the Pharisees were just tearing it apart. And Jesus called them a brood of vipers, set my people free. Let them be free from all this hurt and bitterness and anger and resentment. You don’t need to live that kind of life. Jesus came to give us another life a higher life, more fruitful life, a peaceful life where our hearts are at ease before him. And he gives us power the Holy Spirit when the Spirit is come upon you you’ll receive power to do this and live this kind of life. And people will want what you’ve got. And what do we got, we got Jesus Christ. We have the Holy Spirit. We have Father God. We have a father, our earthly father may not have been the perfect guy I’ve yet to meet that guy. But we can still honor them and love them, we can still have a heart of respect for them when they’re not even respectful. We can still choose to do that. We get to choose how we live the decisions we make what we let in our heart and what we don’t. And we’re gonna let a lot of selfish sayings go in our heart. We’re going to get hurt, we’re gonna get wounded. We want to get even will but gossip and slander and
we do that stuff. But we also need to ask forgiveness and keep our conscience before God clean and clear. When you say Lord, I feel this way and I’m hurt. And I don’t want to be hurt and I don’t want to hate him. Would you change my heart? Oh God, make it ever true. Change my heart. Oh god. Make up like you. These are the lifestyles you go to church every Sunday you go to Bible study, you count a men’s group, you go to harvest Crusade, you listen to Christian music, and the world is not impressed. They don’t care. Go, that’s a stupid thing to do anyway. But you turn the other cheek, go the second mile, pay their debt for them. They owe you money, you give it to him, don’t loan it to him. You don’t give it to him at high interest rate you if they ever need give it to them. If they have to haven’t paid you back, forgive them. Love them anyway. They expect you to co shoulder him to feel different around him and you’re giving him a hug and greeting them when you see him. They don’t understand that. And have gone to church in Luton, our Bibles and come into men’s group and come into prayer group doesn’t change our life and we’re not living our lifestyles and what’s wrong? Are they the 10 suggestions? Are they the 10 commandments. So that’s what God wants to know. It doesn’t make any difference if we’re not living the life. And God has called us up higher. So what are we going to do and the turmoil and the chaos and the craziness that’s going on today we’re going to live higher lives. We’re going to bless those who persecute us. We’re going to pray for our enemies, we’re going to crawl through our own blood kiss defeater, the guy that beat us and hate and hates us. Father, I just pray right now that in my own heart, as I’m sharing this with these men, I get convicted. Because there are people in my life that I just don’t want to pray for. I want to I want to be like the Sons of Thunder and call fire down from heaven. But that’s not who you are. And that’s not who you created me to be. And that’s not what you want me to do it pray. What you want me to do is humble myself and ask forgiveness. And so father I do.
If there’s anything we men need, Lord, it’s humility before you and before each other. We need to make peace reality that apart from you, we can’t do any of this. But you’ve called us to live our lifestyles as fathers as husbands, his friends, his employees and employers. His guys on the freeway making peace everywhere we go. And so Lord, we ask you right now to drive this message home to our heart cause us to repent. Give us that gift. If we need to forgive someone and we’ve been hating someone or we’ve been treating them awful the way they treated us. What good is what do we do more than others? So Lord, help us is man your man in such a time as yes to be your disciples that that are following you that are putting our life on the line so that they may see that we’re sons of our Father in heaven. And we have a strong family resistance there yes to his patience and his goodness his love his mercy and may we be showered receive it in great portion so we can give it away.
