A Message from the "R" Tell The People I Love Them. These are the words God has laid on my heart as the theme for E-148. I pray our spoken words and our actions amplify this message and express the depth of God’s great love as we reach out to each other and the pilgrims during this special time. Day after day I hear and see the difficulties faced by those throughout the World, our Nation, communities in which we live, even my own family. In response to these heartaches, times of despair and uncertainty, God’s love for us has and will never falter. The scripture to accompany the weekend theme is Matthew 10:5-8: Jesus sent his twelve harvest hands out with this charge: “Go to the lost, confused people right here in the neighborhood. Tell them that the kingdom is here. Bring health to the sick. Raise the dead. Touch the untouchables. Kick out the demons. You have been treated generously, so live generously.” As I focus on these words, I reflect back on the lost and confused state I was in before my Forth Day began. Transformed by the power of God’s love expressed through spoken words, a bag full of love letters, hugs, and countless acts of humble servanthood, during my Emmaus weekend, I left God’s mountain with an overwhelming sense to pass on the priceless gift of God’s love to all. The words from “Tell The People I Love Them” clearly express the feelings of many throughout their life to include myself, the deep love God has for us depicted through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, and His constant presence in our lives. Last night Jesus came to me Wiped the tears from my eyes And He said not to worry so He would stay by my side Then He looked out upon the world In the darkness of night And He turned and He spoke to me oh so sadly he sighed When I walked upon Calvary and I poured out my life I died for each one of them so that they might have life I will always remember when He came to me For once I had blinded eyes but now I can see Tell the people I love them; tell the people I care When they feel far away from me; tell the people I’m there May we spread the good news and be a living testimony of God’s great unending love as we walk our journey together, brothers and sisters in Christ!
