Wake Up!

AUTHOR:  Russ Leggett

I am writing to all of you, my brothers and sisters in Christ, aka “My Church Family” because I feel the Holy Spirit pushing me to do this.  What could I possibly have to say to any of you that really matters and all of you are just as smart as I am so what reason is there to justify this note.  I want each of you to know that I love you and I care about you and the more I get to know you, the more that love increases.  These are not just some nice words that Russ is saying right now, but it is truth, and they are really true to my core.  You all know where this comes from, our Father above who is the perfecter of LOVE.

We all know that this life here together on earth is so limited and fragile.  Take time to make sure those that you really care about know you really love them above all else.  Take time to show it to others that you do not know but God has put in your path today.  I grew up not showing a lot of emotions that God placed in my heart, but some of you have taught me how to share this and now I love it when someone gives me a hug, even another guy which is still a little uncomfortable.  Please do not keep those emotions inside. The devil would love for us all to do that and he continues to try and put doubt in my mind.  Smile and show love to others because of how blessed we all are by the love our Father shows us.

In closing, please show love to anyone that comes into your presence today and the days ahead.  We celebrate two major holidays at the end of each year giving thanks to God for his blessings.  Think about these words:

John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Matthew 22:37-40  Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all you soul and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.

I need to be deliberate about how I go about my day!  I need to “Wake Up”.  This life that God gave me should be used to LOVE.  I ask each of you to consider turning up the LOVE in your life towards our Father, and one another.  You will be happy you did and so will our Father!!!

Love
Russ Leggett
