February 2008 Newsletter from: Gentle Heart Ministries
February is a month of celebrating and showing our love to those who we love.
Valentines day is what we call it a day that comes once a year to show our love to those we care about.
God shows us His love on a moment by moment, or breath by breath basis.
He has no special day to show forth His love to His children. His love is like a great dynamic force that follows us every day. There is no beginning there is no end, because it is always there.
Human love is fickle it may, or may not be transitional, it fluctuates up and down depending on how we feel about someone or how they feel about us. Past hurts or offences can keep our love, from reaching out to those, who so greatly need our love and concern. It can be given from the depths of the heart poured forth as a fountain. It also can be held back by us to those we love, when they do not respond to us in a way that we have came to expect it. We are called to love our brethren in Christ Jesus our Lord! Jesus said it is the greatest commandment by which all the other commandments revolve.
(John 15:12)
There is a love my Sister, my Brother, a love that never changes , is never held back. It has no conditions, does not depend on us, and whether we deserve it or not, or what we may or may not do. It is a free flowing fountain sent down from God upon His children.
I am talking about Gods Love for His creation, it never changes based on our actions, or reactions toward God.
Is there such a love?
Yes there is, a love that Jesus and the Apostle Paul speaks of it the Epistle of Romans eight.
The Apostle Paul says what will ever separate us from Christ?
1. Not tribulation
2. Nor distress
3. Nor persecution
4. Nor famine
5. Or nakedness
6. Or peril of sword
In all these things we are more than conquerors!
Paul is fully persuaded: that neither; death, life, angels, principalities, powers, things present, things to come, height, depth, or any other created thing.Shall ever be able to separate us from the love of God. Which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Our Gods love reaches up to the highest mountain, and down to the lowest valley. It will come right down to every child, and there is no shadow of His turning. He never shows favoritism to anyone, He loves you child, He loves you.
God is a reacher He reached right down and through a sinful needy humanity and shed abroad His love in our heart when He sent His son to die for the sins of the world. By His love so bountiful flowing down up on us, let us reach up to Jesus and bring his love down to a lost and dying world.
Let Us return our love to God, as he longs for the love of His people and the sheep of His pasture. He longs to hear us praise, and worship him. He longs for fellowship with His Children, and wants us to talk with Him sharing our deepest hearts desire.
Is there someone God has sent into your life who needs to feel the love, and forgiveness of God? If there is reach out with the love of God, and draw them home to Jesus. Beloved Church of Jesus Christ let us love not in just mouthing the words, let us share the Love of God to all we meet. The most healing balm in the world, is the Love of God, and He has entrusted his Church with it. When you see someone who is sad, tell them of the love of Jesus and minister to their needs. You will never know how one kind gesture, can save a soul and direct them to Jesus. The lost, the lonely, the homeless, and the discouraged they need Gods Love. God needs us to share the love, that He has so graciously bestowed upon us.
Children of God what shall ever separate us from Gods love?
We are the only one that seperates ourselves from Gods love.
Even then His Love pours down upon us, even though we can not feel it, or whether or not we think we desrve it.
This Months Scripture
(Romans 8: 35-39)
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: " For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
This Months Poem
A Love That Will Never Let You Go!
O’ love sweet love with languor you glow
O’ love sweet love my heart is full and in over flow
O’ sweet love of God so pure and true
The greatest of all love is your love so true
Love so fathomless, unmeasurable, and kind
Your love brings awe and wonder to this heart of mine
Love I cannot express love that is endless and surpasses all time
Precious healing love bringing peace and joy to my mind
O’ My Jesus I’m so in love with you
As I am here on bended knees my arms stretched up to you
My eyes are full of tears My heart is about to burst
Such wondrous overflowing love this heart has never knew
I am so glad you tore away the veil that separated mankind from you
When You gave Your life on Calvary to bring us back to you
O love that will never from my heart untwine
Love so gracious, forgiving, and kind
I am so happy just sitting in your presence divine
O’ Sweet lover of my soul your love is sweeter than wine
As Your Holy Spirit search's today for other hearts to abide
Come Holy Spirit and bless those hearts with Your love so kind

The Love of God
My beloved children where can you go to escape My love?
Even though you climb the highest mountain there My love will surround you.
My child you can travel to the lowest depths of the earth. There Iam with arms opened wide to let My love surround you. In this world you may feel unloved, yet My love is there chasing hard after you.
Let my love catch you my beloved, I have so many things to share with you.
I long for you to come into your place of fellowship with Me.
I dearly love you without any conditions I love you. Come run into the arms of love that have longed to welcome you.
My Holy Spirit is covering the land searching for souls to come home to Jesus your Savior and Redeemer. I am calling you to come home to the one who loves you, and will never leave you. The cry has gone out come home to Me; My children run into the arms of a Father who will always love you.
Many times I have called your name you have felt the drawing to come to me.
Yet you turn away, outside of me there is judgement.
My child you may feel unloved by those who surround you. Yet I always love you.
There is nothing you can do to make me love you less. Nor is there anything you can do to make me love you more.
My love is steadfast true, and sure, never changes never has and never will.
My love is as strong as the strongest force the wind, rain, all the elements of the earth created by Me the Creator of all things. My love is stronger than all forces.
I love you my children My heart is an open fountain, it pours out daily My love for you My children seek Me! Seek My love pursue it with all your heart. When you find Me then you will find my love.
No trials, no tribulations, no other source can ever separate My love or Me from you! Iam the same for eternity I never change.
Come to Me led by Grace, Peace, Joy, Mercy, and everlasting hope I am here waiting for you. Come home to the one who will always love you.

(Romans 8 :35-39)
Who shall ever separate us from Christ's love?
Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation, or calamity, and distress, or persecution, or hunger, or destitution, or peril or sword?
Even as it is written, for Thy sake we are put to death all the day long we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter.
Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors] and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.
For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers,
Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will
be able to separate us from the love of God which is in
Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Amplified Bible)
(A song I love To Play On My Autoharp and sing.)
I heard someone say that these words were found written
on the wall of a Mental Hospital many years ago,
I don’t know if it is an acurate statement or not?
If you know please tell me for sure?
The Love Of God
F. M. Lehman
The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star and reaches to the lowest hell.
The guilty pair bowed down with care, God gave his son to to win.
His erring child he reconciled, and pardoned from his sin.
Oh love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure the saints and angel’s song
God bless you!
May you know His great Love
(John14:1-3)
"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.
In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
(Psalms 108:1-5)
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
