June 3rd 2005 I was playing pool with Megan and Chyanee at Joel's Place (Joel's Place is a faith based indoor skate/BMX park that I volunteer at). As I was waiting for my turn I found myself starring at Chyanee's arm and I could not look away. And I thought to myself this is really weird Lord what is going on? And at that very moment the Lord spoke to me and said "She missing one". I said No No No you must be kidding Lord not another one. First you give me one band and now you want me to do another one and I know you want me to give it away just like the first band you gave me. To say it simply at that moment in time I was defiantly not my self. I was pacing back and fourth in a small circle defiantly not all their.
While I was in a world of my own Megan and Chyanee were looking at me funny and wondering what was going on with me. So Chyanee asked me "Are you OK?" I said "No ..well.. yes I think so I think the Lord just spoke to me.". She said "Well what did he say." I said " He pointed out your arm and said "She missing one.". Chyanee was waring a red band that said LIFE and the Purity In Christ band I gave her Wensday after I shared my Ministry at her Church. So she looked down and said "Red , White , BLUE..." I said "Yah I know the color to I just don't know what it's gonna say , I need to pray about it and listen to what the Lord says."
So over the next couple of hours I just kept praying and asking the Lord what is this band going to say? Then the Lord asked me a Question "What was the most important message you were trying to get across to the youth two night earlier?".
Two nights ago for the first time ever I got to tell my testimony to a youth group the way the Lord showed me to. I had opened with a song told them my personal testimony and shared all about the Purity In Christ band and later gave them away too. Then the Holy Spirit reminded me "To Love God.". You see I had shared with the youth group about a Question that the Lord had given me to ask people. The Question is "What is the greatest Commandment?" I thought that was a strange question to ask Christians until I started to. And to my surprise I was stunned at how many got the answer wrong. I couldn't believe what I was hearing I would get good answers but not the right one. People would say "thou shall not murder" or "thou shall not steel" or one of the other Commandments. And I would tell them "That good but thats not wright the greatest Commandment is to Love GOD with all your heart , soul , strength and mind and the second is like it to love everyone as you love your self."
You see as I was asking people this question the Lord was teaching me a valuable lesson. That if people do not remember or understand that the greatest thing to do the greatest commandment of them all is to LOVE GOD. Then no wonder people even 'Christians' can get so angry or upset at the smallest of things. And later thy realize that thy were so angry over something so trivial and wonder why. The Lord has taught me that if we are missing the Greatest Commandment, to LOVE GOD, in our lives no wonder we seem to be bouncing off walls in our life and not walking the straight and narrow . But if we give unconditional LOVE to GOD and love to others life doesn't have to be one big pinball machine. Don't get me wrong a life devoted to GOD has trials but the rewards are greater than you can imagine.
