Thank the Lord for the love of Jesus Christ. Turn in your Bibles, if you would, to Ecclesiastes chapter 9. Ecclesiastes chapter 9 this morning. There's a lady standing in front of a casino when she was approached by a desperate looking man. Please, the man begged frantically, could you possibly spare $500? My wife is very sick and I really need the money to take her to the doctor and buy her the medicine that she needs. The lady looked at him suspiciously and said, if I give you $500, how do I know that you will not go into this casino and gamble it all away? The man quickly responded, oh, no, you've got me all wrong. You don't understand. I have gambling money. Sometimes we say that we love people, but we are selfish. Sometimes we like people. Most of us as human beings are selfishly in love with ourselves. By the way, we are born that way. All of us have this thing called the sin nature. And if we're not careful, even as believers, we should love ourselves rather than love God. Jesus said it this way in Matthew 25, 43, I was a stranger and you took me not in. Naked and you closed me not. Sick and in prison and you visited me not. their own problems, their own lives to be understood and seen. 1 Corinthians chapter 13 verse 5, Cherubim seeketh not her own, not themselves. And we need to watch out for that in all of our relationships. How much do you love me? I could just imagine a young couple and maybe they're courting or dating or whatever the term is that you would like to use and And they're looking at each other, and he says, oh, I love you. And she says, how much do you love me? And he pulls out a box of chocolates, and he holds it up. Whoa. A box of, Russell Stover's box of chocolates. That big of a box. I love you this much. That would seem like, well, that's a big box of chocolates. Must be a lot of balls, right? What if he pulled out a box like this? That's all he's for, but he said, I love you this much. It may not seem like that big of a deal. You know, sometimes we'll say, oh, I love somebody so much. Talk to them. I'll tell you why. What if I gave this to Natalie and said, no, it's really a scandal. Would you buy it? Would it be more valuable? More meaningful? Even if it's small. Think about your life today, and your relationship, and the love that you show to other people. What kind of love is it? And is it just something that you say, or is it something real? As we look at this passage in Ecclesiastes, Solomon is musing about life. He talks about love. He talks about hate. And he ends up saying, you know, once you're dead, you can't love anyone. Once you're dead, you cannot hate anyone. And the things of life, once you're dead, are just bare vanities. And then we have the verses that are before us. And we are challenged to make the most out of our life. Verse 7, notice the Bible says, go thy way. eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart, for God now accepteth thy work. Let thy garments be always white, and let thy head lack no ointment. Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of thy life, of thy vanity, which he has given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity, for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labor, which thou takest under the sun. whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might. For there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave whither thou goest. Make the most of the time that you do have, and make the most to enrich the relationship that you do have. In particular, verse 9, concerning the marriage relationship, live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest. all the days of the life. Showing love will change the relationship. If you're married today, showing love to your spouse will change that relationship for the best. If you have a co-worker, showing love to that co-worker will change that relationship. If you have a church member, then showing love to that church member is going to change that relationship for the better. It applies for parents and children. Just showing love makes such a difference in our lives to cherish the relationship that God has given to us. Our message today is titled this, Does Your Chocolate Box Have Any Candy? I hope that it does. Let's rid our lives of selfishness and let's replace selfishness with genuine, real, demonstrative type of love, showing love can change relationships. I challenge everyone here today to love other people like God loves you. Love other people like God loves you. It applies to every relationship. Let's go to the Lord in prayer. Father, we thank you for your word today and as we examine this passage in others, we ask that you would May your spirit work in each life and may the needs of our relationship be met today through your word. Let's make a few observations about love. Number one, love is comprised of action. Love is comprised of action. People say, well, love is an emotion. We know from last week, love is more than an emotion. Love is a choice that touches our emotions. And love is demonstrative. It is something that is acted out upon, more than something that is merely said. And love keeps commandments. According to John chapter 14, verse 50, Jesus said, if you love me, keep my commandments. So if you're going to show love to someone, he said to keep a command. That's an active type of action. That's a verb. It's doing something about that love that we would profess or say that we have. And so he says, keep my commandments. Love is comprised of action. Then ask yourself this question. What kind of action am I showing to other people to demonstrate the love that I have for them? Let's make a few observations about this action. We'll consider John 3.16. What is love? Love is living. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son. that whosoever believes in them should not perish but have everlasting life. God teaches us something about love in that verse. And it's giving action. It's giving. Love is giving. Love is selfless. Love is sacrificial. Just like this gift that Christ gave when he died on the cross taking our sins. When he took our death and our punishment and our hell, he paid the price for our sins rose again victorious three days later. It was all because of love. And that's a giving. time to love. Love is the price of action, the price of giving. In your relationships, are you a giving individual towards other people? Do you give your time? Do you give your talent? Do you give some treasures that you have? Do you give of yourself to that other person? Then you are demonstrating love. If you're not giving to somebody, you are not showing love to somebody. Because love begins with giving, not love causes it to begin. Love also continues to show an action of sharing. And the Bible tells us, Romans chapter 5 verse 8, that God commended His love for us. And that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. He commended, He proved, He demonstrated or showed His love. He came to die on a cross for us. And the eternal God gave us eternal life. He shared with us something that He had, something that only He could give to have everlasting life. Our eternal God gave that to us. John chapter 10 verse 28, Jesus said, I give them eternal life. And they shall never perish, neither shall any man touch them out of Christ. You know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. That's the giving love that God has shown to you. That's the sharing love that Christ has demonstrated to you. To share with you eternal life. To share with you this perfect abode, this place called heaven. To be in the presence of God for all eternity. This is something that He's done because of love. The answer to this, are you showing love of Jesus? How do you share? Maybe sharing the box of Christ is the way to love. Are you showing and demonstrating love? How about caring? Caring is another way. In 1 Peter chapter 5 verse 7 the Bible says, casting all your care upon him for he cares for you. That word cares means to be of interest to, to concern. It matters. God is interested in what you are interested in. He is interested in the concerns of your heart, the thoughts of your heart. He's interested in what matters to you. And one person thoughtfully said it this way, it matters to him what matters to you. And God cares for you, and your thoughts, and your emotions, and your feelings. And let me tell you something, friends. You need to be able to, and I need to be able to, show care to people around us. Somebody has a burden. Somebody has something that they're concerned about. One of the greatest ways is to go ahead and know somebody. Know their name. When a visitor comes in, one way that you can show care But God knows every person's name. He knows your name today. He knows where you're baking right now. He knows your thoughts. He knows the hairs on your head. He knows all of that, but all sorts of names. He knows who we are. He knows who we are. Well, I would assume that most of us know our spouse's name. We all should know our children's name. We all should know the name of those around us. That's a good way to show an interest. And then to talk to people. Hey, how are you doing today? And to give some of that time. To give some attention. What's going on in your life? I like to hear what people are saying. Well, I had this surgery, or I had this injury, or I had this problem, or we're having this difficulty. And I like to hear about this. I was really blessed last week. This happened. We have a testimony time so that we can hear testimonies of what God is doing because we want to be interested. And that interest shows love. So interest in other people's faith and so care. How about bearing? We have giving, sharing, caring, and bearing. In Galatians chapter 6 verse 2, bear ye one another's burdens and so will you fill them all. burden to the healthy person. Well, maybe they're facing cancer. Maybe they're facing a difficult decision. Maybe they're having some marital issues, and they don't know what to do. Maybe they're having a problem with the child and the burden. You can put more time on that person. You can help them. By the way, men and women in marriage relationships You have such a responsibility and such a privilege to bear one another's burdens. The greatest accountability part of such an activity, if you're a married individual, is your spouse. And the greatest person that you are obligated to be and encourage to bear burdens with is your spouse. Show and bear their burdens. Show them love. You can help a person through a tough time. You can heal their pain. You can help them up if they're down, if they're discouraged, if they're downtrodden, you can lend them a hand. You can help lift them back up. Sometimes we don't know what to do, but you can always be there for them. You can always say, I'm here for you. I just want you to know I love you. You can help a person to think right, to have an accurate perception of their situation. Sometimes, as we go through life, here are the thoughts that may come across your mind. Well, nobody? Well, that's just a type of emotional problem. Well, no, all of us have potential emotional problems, not to say something the right way. You can bear somebody's burden, help them with their perception, and say, well, no, you're wrong. I like you. There are people that hurt you. There are other people that care about you. Somebody might think, I'm just a failure. I failed at the job. I failed at this relationship. I failed at parenting. I failed at whatever. You can help them. You can help them with perspective. And no, you are not a failure. And God loves you. And I love you. And we want to help you. And you can help bear somebody's burdens. I'm all alone. No, you're not alone. God is with us. As believers, he's in our hearts. Yeah, I'm right here with you. There are people at church who love you. They're right here with you. Love is the prize of actions, the actions of giving and sharing and caring and bearing. Friends, today you can show love. Maybe it's the wife making breakfast for her man before he goes off to work. Maybe it's pending to a wound that somebody's had a surgery or an injury. Maybe it's taking someone to the hospital or taking them to a doctor visit or helping somebody in need. Showing love with compassion and care. Maybe it is. Sharing that last donut. Show love to those around you. Love is precise action. Love is active content. Number two this morning, love is active in forgiveness. Love is active in forgiveness. Turn over the Proverbs chapter 10. Proverbs chapter 10. Can you be a Good Samaritan to your spouse? Absolutely. Can you be a Good Samaritan to your neighbor? Yes, I hope you would. A college campus years ago conducted a study, and they had asked some students, said, over on this side of campus, we need you to go. There's going to be someone there with a TV camera that's going to interview you about what it is to have compassion and wants to talk to you about the Good Samaritan. And so this is all staged. And they had the students walking across campus. And on their way, they had to pass where this guy was laying on the ground saying, oh, oh, I'm hurt. He's laying on his back. And he was acting like he was about to die. And some of these students were going to go and talk about compassion, about the Good Samaritan. They walked right by him. Only a few people stopped. Only a few people stopped to try to help him. And he was acting, but it still looked real. You know, sometimes I'm so busy, I got nowhere to go. I've got to get to work. I need to get to the slate. I need to get this done. We don't show love. We don't stop. We show love to those around us. Number two, not only should we know that love is a sign of action, but love is active in forgiving. Look in Proverbs 10, verse 12. The Bible says, hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sin. Are we to love our spouse? what Ecclesiastes 9 and 9 told us. According to this verse right here, hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sin. Hatred stirs strife, yet it seeks for occasions to provoke enmity. It delights and broils. On the contrary, love conciliates, removes aggression, and puts the best construction on everything and pours water instead of oil on the fire. That's what love does to you. Love covers all sins. It first hides it and does not expose it, and then forgets it and forgets all about those sins. Folks, this isn't talking about, it's not endorsing, well, we're going to cover this up so there's no justice. That's not what it's talking about. We're going to make sure that there's no penalties or anything. That's not what it's talking about. It's talking about promoting somebody's wrong in their plight and just talking to other people freely about it. and trying to cause dissension or disagreement or disapproval of somebody because of their choices that they have made. That's what this is talking about. Now how can we show this forgiveness in our lives? And how can we cover sins in other people's lives where we know it's there but we don't focus on it? It has to do with our mind. How can I do this? Love is active in forgiving. Every morning that you wake up, you're going to have to decide, will I be forgiving toward my neighbor or toward my spouse? You're going to have to decide that. In the evening, you don't want to fill your head with some kind of a disagreement with your spouse. You're going to have to choose, am I going to forgive my spouse for whatever was done or whatever was done to me? You'll have to make those choices. It's a daily thing. Love is active. It's not a passive thing. It's active in forgiving with your mind. Hebrews chapter 8 verse 12, the Bible says, speaking of our God, For I will be merciful unto their unrighteousness and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. Amen for that? Amen to that. The Lord emphasizes that again in chapter 10 verse 17. Their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Here's God who's omniscient. He knows everything. Here's God who's omnipresent. He's everywhere. He says, it doesn't say I'm going to forget. It says I choose not to remember. And that's how we are to live in our relationships. with those around us. God knows everything, but he chooses not to think about the things. And so with our mind, we need to be able to forgive those around us. And it includes not thinking about their wrongs. If you are so focused on something that somebody said or something that somebody did, you are going to minimize the value of that person. You're going to dismiss that person. You're not going to recognize the person for whom God made them to be. Because of an unforgiven sin. Because you're so fixated on something that they said or did that was wrong. Not looking, would not be looking on how to help them. How can we help them? How can we help others? Not fixated on the hurt, but focused on what good is in them or what is good about them. See, we need to forgive, choose to forgive, choose not dwell on the hurt, the pain, sin, wrong. By the way, your human mind, God made our minds so incredible. The human mind cannot forget. You say, well, I don't remember what I did five minutes ago. I understand that. I understand that. Everything that you've ever done, everything you've ever seen is etched in your mind. Now, the problem is how we find it, how we store it. And sometimes we don't find it. But everything you've ever experienced, you cannot erase. It's always there. God doesn't erase what has happened, but he chooses not to forget, or chooses not to remember, or chooses not to dwell upon it. And that's how we are today. Well, I'll always remember. Yes, you will. But you can choose not to. Your mind is so complex, so incredible. It'll always be there. But you can file that away or back where you don't think about it. If I was really hurt by that, well, you can choose to forgive them and then not think about it. If you keep thinking about it, then you're not forgiving that person. So think about it in those terms here this morning. Love is comprised of actions, but also it's active in forgiving with your mind. One person said this. Forgiveness is the economy of the heart. Forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, and the waste of the soul. We should be so focused on selfless evil that we miss what God has for us today in our relationship with that other group. Love is active in giving, blissful mind, blissful mouth. Proverbs 17 verse 9 says a verse very similar He that covers a transgression seeketh love, but he that repeateth the matter separateth very friend." Here's two people, they're close together, but I'm going to tell something about that other person and try to separate them apart to make them dislike or unlike one another. You want to destroy a relationship? You can do that. You can destroy a relationship. Go around talking about yourself. Tell everyone how bad they are, how negative they are, and all the sins, every little thing they've ever done that's wrong. You can start to destroy that relationship. If you want to destroy a relationship with two people at work, go ahead and point out to the other person every day how evil, how wicked, how wrong you think that person is. By the way, you're showing how ignorant you are when you do that because we're all sinners anyway. It's not pointing anything out new. It's not new information. Well, can you believe they said that? And let me tell you this. and just expose them for who they are. Big deal. God already told us who they are. We're all sinners in need of a savior. When we act like that, we're showing our biblical ignorance. We're showing an undisciplined life. And we're separating very friends and relationships and marriages that have been torn apart by people who choose not to give. You know, tell people what I don't like about this person, what I don't like about that person. I should say more about this and that. And that's a dangerous, lying, If that happens, I would ask this, what's the motive? What's the reason? Love is active and forgiving with the mind, with the mouth, also with the emotion. What is the motive? When someone wants to come to me and tell me, oh, do you believe this? Do you believe that? Let me tell you about this person. I wonder why. I'm not really interested in knowing, oh, that person's a sinner. Oh, OK. I already know that. You already know that if you were biblically honest with yourself. We would say we already know that. But what would be the closest time someone talks about their pride? Maybe it's pride. A lot of times it's pride. It's probably one of two things. It's probably either pride or fear. Pride is, I just wanted you to know I'm better than you. Pride just says, I want you to know I did all that I could so that you know that they're not doing all that they can. And pride just would reveal that. Now, pain could be, I'm just lashing out. I want to see this injustice taken care of. I've been hurt, and so I'm going to attack back. By the way, when Jesus was reviled, he reviled not me. He didn't lash back when he was spoken against, when he was crucified, and all the pain that came with that. He did not do that. So that would be a good example. So what would the motive be? Maybe pride, maybe pain would be the reason You know, you could put paracetamol on a fire. You could put paracetamol on a fire. But it is hard to get away without getting burned. You put paracetamol on a fire. You better watch out. A lot can be saved. A lot of people's love is active. It's forgiving. If you've really forgiven the person, you don't need to take it out on them. You can talk it out on them. You don't need to keep them too busy. You can tell them all about it. hatred stirs up strife on every slight occasion, by filling men with suspicions from eyes whereby they imagine faults where there are none, and aggravate every small sin. Love covers all sins, either does not severely observe them, or does not willingly forget them, to give the offenses or entries of others to prevent us from attention. I'm not talking about us as motives. Both our motives should be in relation to what we want at the end of the day. We would, with our spirit, restore such a quality. In the spirit of being here, considering myself, that's how awesome it is. Forgive. Love is the prize of action. Love actively gives life. Every day you communicate with someone directly or indirectly through your love or your unlove for them. Look over at another passage. 1 Corinthians 13. Read verses 4-7. You convey something to people around you every day. There's a message that you deliver every single day from Bible. 1 Corinthians chapter 13. Begin reading in verse 4 about charity, which is the Bible word, love. Charity suffers long in this time. Charity envious not. Charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. Does not behave itself unseemly. Thinketh not her own, is not easily provoked. Thinketh no evil. Rejoice not in iniquity, but rejoice in the truth. Here's what charity does. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Charity never fails. Every day, you demonstrate this characteristic. Or if you do not demonstrate this characteristic, you show love or unlove. With your verbal communication, the things that you say and the things that you do not say. with the nonverbal communication, the gestures, the countenance on your face, the being around someone, or giving them some time, or just totally brushing people off. It shows love for no love. It's an application. It's been time with your wife, married. It's been time with your children. You sit down and play on the ground with them again. It's been time showing love to those around you. Other people work or avoid other church members? That may indicate there's a lack of love there. Other people in the neighborhood? Love is demonstrated. That's what you say or do not say or how you interact with people each day. Number three, not only is love comprised of action, love actively fulfills. You've got to see that every day it actively fulfills. Love is seeking victory. Love wants to win. Love wants to be on the winning side in your life every single day. Look in Romans chapter 8 and we'll examine the love of our God. And you can be challenged and compelled by these verses as we consider God's love toward us. Now, do we not say in marriage, we're better or worse? We're worse. Till death do us part. We'll say all those things. We're better or worse. And we need to live like that. Love conquers. Love will find a way. Look in Romans chapter 8 verse 35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword, are these things going to separate us? Is God going to stop loving us because of these things? As it is written, for thy sake we are killed. All the day long we are counted as sheep to the slaughter. Even though that's who we are as sinners, is that going to separate us from the love of God? No. Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him that doth make good." Love God. Love seeks victory every day. Love seeks victory in your life, in your marriage, with your children every day. 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 creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Love wants to win in your relationship every single day. Remember love? The song that we sang this morning, the old gospel song, Love Found a Way. Love that song. That's how we're to live in our relationship. That's love that God's demonstrated to us. Wonderful love that rescued me, sunk deep in sin. Guilty and vile as I could be, no hope within. When every ray of light had fled, O glorious day! Raising my soul from out the dead, Love found a way! And the song continues, you can sing it with me if you want. Love found a way to redeem my soul. Love found a way that could make me whole. Love sent my Lord to the cross of shame. Love found a way. Oh, praise his holy name. And we're supposed to love our spouse that way. Well, they're vile. They're no good. Hey, but they say the same thing about you. And in reality, that's who we are before a holy, righteous God. And in spite of who we are, God loves us. And love finds a way. continue to love your soul. You're to love those people around you. Love God above all else. Love thy neighbor as thyself. Maybe you are married today. Love your spouse that way. Maybe you intend to be married one day. I think young men, people, maybe want to be married today. You intend you're going to love your spouse that way. Maybe there's a parent here today and you have a son or a daughter. You don't know what to do. You need to show love to that son or that daughter. We need to show love to those co-workers, to those classmates. We need to show this type of love to those people around us, those church members that we have around us. We need to show this type of a love to those around us every single day. If you're in a soured relationship, love will find a way to work it out, to make it happen, to keep going on. Love finds a way to make it work. It wins over sin. It wins over selfishness. Love wins over distractions. It wins over past friends and fiancés. It wins over Facebook and things that are distractions today. Love wins over all of those things. When communication is silent, love finds a way. When you are misunderstood or not understood, love finds a way. And love still works even when things get dicey in your relationship. Love sees common ground. Love doesn't focus on what is different. Don't fasten on to things that are different. Stick to complementary features. You can give compliments instead of complaints. You can give consideration instead of criticism. You can give compassion to people instead of showing coldness to people. Love will find a way. Love works it out. There's not much in the bank that love works out. And there's a lot less feeling than there used to be. Love works it out. When a job is lost and foreclosure is in sight, love works it out. When your feelings are hurt, love works it out. Trust is lost for the damage you have done. Trust is lost. Love will find a way. Love will find a way. No matter what happens, love will find a way. No matter what happens in your relationship, love, kindness, and forgiveness is yours exactly. You would ask God to help you with it. You would seek the Lord to be able to help you with love. Love is comprised of action. Love is acted with forgiveness. Love seeks victory each day. Love is in your relationship. Don't let any other person, any other thing, any other distraction He's called to marry a girl named Gomer. Gomer is a beautiful woman. She's a stunner, you would say. An absolutely beautiful woman. But she's unfaithful. Unfaithful in their marriage relations. After starting the family, they have two young boys. She runs out, has multiple relationships with multiple different men, makes money in a process called human trafficking. By the time we get to Hosea chapter 3, Hosea buys her back. He was married to her. She ran out. He buys her back. He paid the price that you would pay at the slave market back in the day for a slave. She was so entrapped and ensnared in the human trafficking. His action of redemption is because of love. His action of actively forgiving her is because of love. His choosing to work it out no matter what she was doing is because of love. Hosea chapter 3 verse 2 says, me for 15 silver pieces were an omer of barley, half an omer of barley. The price of a slave was 30 silver pieces. He had enough barley to work 15 silver pieces. He gave everything that he had, everything humanly possible that he could give, that he could work Whatever stays, whatever has to be, the relationship between man and woman is right. That's what Hosea said. If you're married one day, you need to do the same thing one day. See, Hosea is a picture of Christ, of love. Israel and Judah have gone off on spiritual adultery. But He, Jesus, is our example. a story told about an old farm couple. They were taking a long drive in their pickup, and the wife looked over and said, we never snuggled up in a truck before. And he said, it's time to brighten the minds of the world. The same is true with our relationship with God. God's never rude. If you feel distant to God today, you're the one who's rude to us. If you feel distant in your relationship with yourself or a relationship with other human beings, it's probably not them who's moved. It's probably you. You want restoration. And if you want to have that renewed sense of love, then that's who's moved today. And we can fulfill this obligation to show love in the relationships around us and to retain every relationship. in life. Please ask these nine lines as well. Live joyfully with the life you have loved all day long. Did you do that? Did you allow God to give you the talent to change your heart? How do you demonstrate love in the rest of your life? Thank you for your good intentions here this morning. Maybe you'd say, Pastor Harness, you spoke about the love of God. Love so much that God sent his son, Jesus, to die on the cross. He commended us and demonstrated his love for us, and that while I was a sinner, Christ died for me. He died for us. If I could be forgiven of my sins, if I could have eternal life today, I'd like to hear more about that. If there's anyone like that in St. Mary's Church, I'd like to hear more about the love of God, and how I can accept my sins today. Anyone like that? I need to say this, God has challenged my heart to love other people. If that's a spouse, that's a co-worker, that's a child, that's a parent, neighbor, person. I need to be more loving of others. God has challenged my heart to be loving of other people. My actions were an act of forgiveness. One of those things, God has challenged my heart to love Are you actively demonstrating? Is that right? Are you daily demonstrating acts of love? Is that right with God? I believe all of us, be it Christians or non-Christians, God loves all of us. They can say that by the grace of God, I will see love for you over any problems or distractions that would get in the way of my relationship. I want to see by the grace of God, love find a way to win over any problems. In my relationship today, I want to see love for you. I want to see love for you. I want to see love for you. I want to see love for you. I want to see love for you. In our invitation time, we invite you to come to the altar and take as long as you need to talk to God. Connect in relationship with God. Take these possessions and build this new world. Father, we thank you for your word and your challenge to us. Help us in love. We need you. Lord, take these possessions and use them for this world. Please dance with your feet as the pianist begins to play. The altar is open. Would you come? God's working in your life. Some are coming to pray. You want to talk about a relationship? Come talk to the Lord. Are you forgiving like God? Many are coming, but you come.
