"A New Commandment" was one of our favourites to sing. It's sentiment is so true. You have it singing in my head now.

Imagine when Jesus chose Judas to be one of His "12". Imagine as Jesus was washing Judas's feet. It must have broken Jesus' heart. He loves us all so very much. Jesus cried at the tomb of Lazarus because He never intended His creation (His pet people) to endure this kind of suffering. <br /><br />Emotional abuse is the worst. The scars are inside: inside the door of your house, your heart, your brain. No one can possibly understand unless they have been there themselves. Now I'm watching my daughter carry on the family tradition. It is so painful. She sees her selflessness as loving others rather than what it really is, masochism.cooneenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17280226655758038455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-9551472498520389862017-02-13T11:08:51.502+10:002017-02-13T11:08:51.502+10:00Hi Jenny,

I am even more thankful that you found and experienced the love of Jesus. I am always blessed (sometimes convicted) from the things you write. It is my heart's desire to be like Jesus too. I am far from perfect, yet His mercies are new every morning and great is His faithfulness.<br /><br />Like TerriSue, I have been having a hard time with the election of our new president here in the States. I do pray for him. I don't know if it does him any good, but it does me. The same is true for anyone I have a hard time loving.<br /><br />Have a wonderful day and God bless you real good.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04645682764289982809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-25610538197727635492017-02-13T07:14:53.048+10:002017-02-13T07:14:53.048+10:00Hi Jenny - I just wanted to say something about vi...Hi Jenny - I just wanted to say something about visiting Westminster Abby. What Suze says is true - if you visit the Abbey just as a tourist, you do have to pay. This money - and I agree it is a lot - pays towards the upkeep of the Abbey as well as supporting its work. However, if you go to attend a service, or need to speak to a minister ( and there is always one on duty to help anyone who needs it) you can go in for free, through the West door. Just tell the verger on duty that you are going to attend a service or need to speak to a member of the clergy. There are several services the day, you can find the times in the website and they are posted outside the Abbey. I know these arrangements do not entirely meet Suze's concerns, and it's horrid to find 'the moneylenders in the temple' but I just wanted to let any other possible visitors to the UK who might read this, everyone is welcome to worship at the Abbey free of charge.

I have been having a very hard time since are recent president was sworn into office. I have always prayed for my leaders but have been unable to since he was sworn in. You have once again reminded me to step back and look through Jesus' eyes. I may not like him, I may not like what he is doing, I may even be quite concerned where my nation is headed, that is all the more why I need to praying for and trying to love this man. Thank you again for the gentle nudge in the right direction. My prayers will now return to normal even though they may be hard and uncomfortable for a while. I want you to know that I am remembering you and your loved ones during the wild fires going on. The heat in some areas of Australia is unreal.TerriSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00161769399124744018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-48708387896157179602017-02-13T04:47:04.172+10:002017-02-13T04:47:04.172+10:00This is one thing I've been trying to remember...This is one thing I've been trying to remember the last couple of years. When I am upset with someone, I try to remember that Christ is their Savior, as well as mine, and that I need to love them as Christ does. It helps me to change my view. Thanks for your inspiring words, reflecting on John. Jesus didn't even chastise Judas, and he healed the ear of the soldier who came to take him away.

I really must read John again. Someone I knew called it the Love Gospel.<br /><br />Recently my daughter took me overseas with her. It was wonderful. When we were in London she really wanted to visit Westminster Abbey. So we did. All the way through I kept thinking of Jesus chasing the money lenders etc out of the temple. You see they charge you 20 pounds to walk through the church. Sorry if this is off topic but it seems to me that this church is failing if it needs to charge. How many are lost due to this policy? Jesus would want us to share these spaces with love and kindness. I went to many churches and this was the only one that charged.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283293507101152512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-50637406366955302402017-02-12T14:21:22.626+10:002017-02-12T14:21:22.626+10:00I appreciate your sharing this!
