An Inward Spring

An Inward Spring
Henry Drummond states,

“Every character has an inward spring; 

let Christ be that spring.  

Every action has a keynote; 

let Christ be that note, 

to which your whole life is attuned.” 

                                                                                      Henry Drummond.
I and Christians like me believe there is a God and a need for everyone to come into a personal relationship with Him.
With Christ in one’s life we gain an absolute moral compass. As well as peace that goes with us through the most difficult time in our lives. Jesus said,

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, 

and I will give you rest.  

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, 

for I am gentle and humble in heart, 

and you will find rest for your souls.  

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” 

                                                                                                Matthew 11:28-30.
This I know to be true. That is why I want to tell people about Jesus and what He can do for you.
What the writer of Proverbs states is indeed true when he says,

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart 

and lean not on your own understanding; 

in all your ways acknowledge him,

 and he will make your paths straight.”

                                                                                                 Proverbs 3:5,6.
Jesus told us what God expects of man. When asked,
 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 
Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’  
This is the first and greatest commandment.  
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” 
                                                                         Matthew 22:36-40
Jesus also told us,
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’  
But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”Matthew 5:43-45.
Put simply we are to love God, our neighbour even our enemy and we are to pray for our persecutors.
I know by accepting Christ into ones life it is possible to do this.
I also believe if people Christian or not would simply practice the teachings of Jesus to , Love one God, our neighbour, and even our enemy the world would be a far better place.
Please think about it.
