By Love Constrained/Compelled

Wishing you countless opportunity today, tobe constrained/compelled by love through Christ to love one another! By love constrained; oh, what a way to liveTo give the best we have for He who gaveHimself; Then overthrew the power of the grave By love constrained; oh, what a way to findWisdom and knowledge, divinely designedThrough unsearchable paths man cannot trace By love constrained; oh, what a way to seeThe beauty of the glory of the LordWhen patience, kindness and humilityRevere the recompense of the reward By love constrained; oh, what a way to layUp treasure where no worldliness defilesWhere thief can not break in nor rust decayThe righteousness redemption reconciles By love constrained; oh, what a way to walkLove's 'second miles' none but love's Author knowsThe Treasurer of life's most priceless stockNo Wall Street-Dow Jones-Nasdaq record shows By love constrained; oh, Daily to self-pleasing futilityIn order so that we may glorify © Janet Martin 2 Cor.5:14-21For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died.  And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and was raised again. So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Although we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.  Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:  that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God. God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
