Psalm 68:6 > > It's all about love. That's the sum total of the human experience.

When he was in the pig sty (a rough place for a young > Jewish boy), he knew that > what he had experienced, what he thought was love, > was nothing. When the money was gone, the love was gone. He realized that > his father's servants felt > more love than he did. He would have been satisfied > with the love his father gave the servants. > > Still, when he approached home, his father saw him, ran to him, put his > arms around him and gave > that lost son all that he wanted and needed. The prodigal > found perfect love in the arms of his father. > > David says that God places the lonely in a family. The lonely, like the > prodigal, have mostly given > up on ever finding perfect love. They have convinced > themselves that second or third best or none at all in the love category > is all they are worthy of. > > But the Father has other plans.

All they > have to do is start out for home and the Father will come running to them. > Perhaps you know of some > lonely people. Do you shun them, or do you give them > love? Do you cross the street and tell your children to look the other > way, or do you feed them? How > do you look at the > homeless, the downtrodden, the poor, the filthy, the addict?

Don't be stingy with your love, give it away! The Father will > give you much more in > return -- guaranteed!
