Loved by God
Hey, Doug Dial here with 1 minute of hope.
Once or twice in your lifetime you have probably heard that “God loves you.”
Ayup. It’s true!
But how can we know this?
He is so big!
He is so up there!
He is so powerful and I’m just one … insignificant … person among over seven billion people.
♫ The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. Zephaniah 3:17 KJV
Dear one, RIGHT NOW He is tapping his toes and snapping His fingers singing: “I love Debbie, does she know, Graydon and Richard and a whole bunch more.”
He loves to be with us. He wants us to fellowship with Him and enjoy Him as He does us.
Friend, you are loved by God!

Without Measure, Without End
Sacrificial love.
Unfailing love.
Incomprehensible love.
Unending love.
Redeeming love.
Calvary love.
For you. For me. For eternity.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16

The Most Unlikely
by Linda Handzel
Did you know that Jesus loves the most unlikely people?
Luke chapter eight tells the story of a woman who dared to approach Jesus for healing, even though she was a social outcast. That woman had been bleeding for twelve years and, according to the law, wasn’t even supposed to be out in public. She had no money, because she had spent it all trying to find a cure for her illness. No one wanted to be near her, and no one thought she was important. But in her desperation, she pushed through the crowd and touched the bottom of Jesus’ clothes. And He cared. He considered her to be important and healed her. My friend, it does not matter what society says about you, Jesus thinks you are worth His time and His love.

Hey, Doug Dial here with 1 minute of hope.
If you have ever loaded coffee beans into a coffee grinder/maker then you will understand this: the more coffee beans you place INTO the coffee maker, the more … JOLT … you’re gonna get out the other side. I know. I KNOW! You’re probably reaching for MORE coffee as we speak.
More stuff. More things. More clutter. Do we really need any more?
YES!
♫ I want more of Jesus, more and more and more
♫ I want more of Jesus than I ever had before
♫ I want more of His great love, rich and full and free
♫ I want more of Jesus so I’ll give Him more of me
Seek more of his strength! Seek more of him! Let’s always be seeking the light of his face. Psalm 105:4
MORE!

Does God Know?
by Linda Handzel
Does God know where you are right now, and does He even care?
In Psalm 139 David said “Oh, Lord, you have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I stand up.”
These are wonderful words confirming God’s love for you. He is so interested in you that He knows your every move no matter where you are, or who you are with. Whether you are all alone or in a stadium full of people, He has not lost track of you. He knows where you are going and where you have been. God knows every person individually, and He cares about what is going on in their life right now. And so, the answer to my question is; Yes, He is always with you in every situation, and He does care.

Filled with Hope & Sharing it with Others
Friend, may you be FILLED with hope today and share it with others.
WHAT?
Oh my!
We usually share this thought at the end of a Vlog/Blog, not the beginning.
What is going on in here?
Has time somehow slipped away and it’s already OVER?
NOPE!
Hello friend and welcome to 5 Minutes of Hope.
Today’s topic is: Being Filled with Hope and Sharing it with Others.
I went to the meeting in need of prayer, but when I arrived another was there, who went to the meeting in need of prayer. So I prayed for my brother who came for prayer, and in praying for HIM, God met me right there. In caring for HIM, God met me right there. In putting others before me, God met me RIGHT THERE!

Mark Swank, Special Projects and Promotion Coordinator for the Church of God, Cleveland, Tennessee, was our guest speaker at Abundant Life Church of God in Freehold, New Jersey last Sunday. He did a masterful job at sharing and revealing God’s heart for missions. He took us back to the garden where God‘s question was, “Adam, where are you?“ And God is STILL seeking His children to this very day.
Mark commented, “God is so all about the great commission 2/3 of his name says GO!”

Is your seat belt buckled and are you sitting down? Let’s bring this thing home!
On September 11, 2001, terror rained down from the skies. From that day until this multitudes of Americans hate every Muslim in every corner of the world.
BUT … God loves them. Every one of them.
It just so happens God is doing a marvelous work among Muslims and in MANY parts of our world.
How’s that? You don’t particularly like foreigners?
Where did YOU go to Sunday school?
Don’t you remember, “Jesus loves the little children. All … the children of the world. Red and yellow black and white, they are precious in his sight Jesus loves the little children of the world.”
Does He stop loving them when they turn 7? 10? Full grown adult?

Hello somebody!
Here’s a question for you … why do so many church going people get on social media and poke fun at those who are … different? Maybe they ARE living in sin but they don’t need our finger in their face and us laughing at them.
They need a love and a hope that only Jesus can bring them.
Honestly, Sir. Seriously ma’am … let’s share the hope!
It’s not our job to fix them, change them, or save them.
JESUS is the Savior!
JESUS is the healer!
JESUS is the deliverer!
JESUS is what people need to see in us.
People don’t need to be TOLD they are wrong.
People need to be SHOWED they are loved.
♫ Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. Beloved, let us love one another I John 4,7&8
Mighty God, You loved us and saved us from our sin. Help us love as You loved. In the matchless Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, we pray. Amen
Friend, may you be FILLED with hope today and share it with others.
