Love the Lord God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your strength. Deuteronomy 6:5
Billy Graham did just that! Franklin Graham said at Billy’s
funeral this week that his dad always said when he gave a speech or whenever he
counseled someone, “This is what the Bible says.” He always humbled himself and
gave the Bible’s advice, not his advice. He loved the Lord with all his soul and
all his strength. He spoke to millions in his long life and now is at his
eternal home in heaven with our God. What a celebration must be happening
there!
Franklin Graham and his siblings brought tears to my eyes as
they spoke about their father. Many of their stories mirrored my family
stories. Billy welcomed home his prodigal daughter. He forgave them when they
sinned and loved them as Jesus loves us.
Our problems are simplified when we turn to our Lord. We can
forgive others and we are truly able to love when we follow this one
verse.
Prayer: Dear Lord, open our hearts to your love. Thank you for the
life of Billy Graham. Let our lives speak out your wisdom. Amen.
