This message is from our “U R Loved” series about the unconditional, relentless love of God.
and so today I’m going to teach a
message very simply titled the proper
response to love the proper response to
love and I really only have one point
today and then I have four sub points to
just clarify that one point so this is
my point for the entire time that I’m
speaking the proper response to God’s
love is love the proper response to
God’s love for us is that we love him
back now that sounds very generic and
very corny and very like yeah we love
God
thanks faster Mike so I’m gonna make
this very very clear by these next four
points making it very practical for you
something that you will be able to go
out of here and be able to do because
our only response to what Christ did at
Calvary all the songs that we sing
hallelujah you won the victory he didn’t
won the victor in the victory for us to
live the same way he didn’t win the
victory for us to live in depression for
us to have um things in our body that
need to be healed but we don’t have the
faith to believe God for the healing he
did not live for us to have sin cycles
that every year we come to the same
thing that’s not why he died he lives so
we could have freedom he died so died
ain’t lived so that we could have
freedom he died and live so that we
could know another level of life but we
have to respond properly to the love
that God has shown to us so the proper
response to love is love so I’m going to
break that down and let me tell you this
God does not want fake love he does not
want love that’s generated by fear and
this is the problem with so many people
have been in church for a long time
is that everybody wanted to scare
everybody of hail so that they would
love God so I want to go to hail so I
better love God that crap is for the
birds
nobody wants to be loved because there
is a horrible alternative to this so I
guess you’ll do I guess God I’ll worship
you God says I I don’t want to be loved
because you fear me I want to be loved
because you see how much I sacrifice you
and what I already put up the word says
we don’t love God be
because we loved him first and said he
displayed his love for us by sending he
did it first he put himself out there
he’s the one sitting and proposing and
saying will you please marry me will you
please take the provision I have for me
will you please be the one that I’m
committed to and you’re committed to me
forever and now we have the opportunity
to give a response what’s your response
what’s our response so I’m gonna help
you because a lot of people don’t know
the proper response so that’s why we
come to church that’s why God gives me
with him that’s why he wouldn’t let me
go on to the next series cuz he wanted
to teach us the proper response and I
believe if we hear these things and walk
these things out it’s gonna change the
way that we relate to God forever the
first point the proper response to God’s
love is learning the proper response to
God’s love is learning now Pastor Mike
what do you mean by that
if you’ve ever started to fall in love
with something the first thing you do is
learn everything you can about it just
think about how many of y’all been a
relationship before any type of
relationship even if it was long short
okay what is the first thing you did or
how did most of those relationships
start you would be on the phone cake in
all night come on lissa no you hang up
no you hang up and what are you doing
you’re finding out everything you can
about them what’s their favorite food
where would they like to travel how much
how many kids are in their family do you
like your mom what what do you want to
be when you grow up all of these
different thing we’re just finding out
we are learning about the other person
in the new age we don’t even got to talk
to you we’ll go to your Facebook see
where you’ve been on vacation see what
you like who your friends are all of
those different things why cuz I’m
trying to learn everything I can about
you love starts with learning I want
everybody to hear me say that very
clearly love starts with learning so the
proper response to God’s love is that we
start to learn about God I want
everybody to hear me say that again if
we really want to respond properly to
God we need to learn more about him that
is our proper response see this is
the key um when when we really figure
out that God has been so amazing to us
would be like how did he do that how did
he walk this earth and not slap nobody
even when the disciples was drifting
right behind him how how did he how did
he how did he go and walk his life for
33 years in this manner and do this see
God gives us tools to learn about him
and the number one tool that God gives
us is his word and I want everybody to
see this the Word of God the Bible the
bibl II that’s the book for me that that
one that’s not a book of stories I want
everybody to hear me say this very
clearly it’s a book of learning our God
so that we can love our God and see many
people don’t understand this because
they want to come to church you’re like
I’ll learn about God at church that
means you have a very surface level of
wanting to be with God let me help you
because in this manner God’s saying I
love you and I know all about you the
word says he knows the number of hairs
on our head he knows our thoughts he
knows us but he said I don’t want to
force you but I need you to want to know
me you got to learn about me you got a
desire to go to another level of
knowledge about me and that’s what the
word says in 2nd Timothy chapter 3 verse
16 turned there real quick the proper
response to God’s love as we must learn
about God number one through his word it
says all Scripture is inspired by God it
is God breathed another translation says
and it is useful to teach us we’re
supposed to learn through the Scriptures
what is true and to make us realize what
is wrong in our lives
it corrects us when we’re wrong and
teaches us to do what is right we don’t
read the Bible to just find out stories
it’s a book about learning so that we
can love that’s why Jesus had to tell
some people who were churchgoers the
pious the ones who know God and can
worship in the right key he told them in
John he say y’all study the Scriptures
because you think in that you’ll find
eternal life he said all these
scriptures appointment
he said I’m trying to give you
scriptures so you can know me that you
can learn me that you can find out more
about me I am in a relationship with a
beautiful woman her name is Natalie
Diane Todd and I will drink her
bathwater
you hear me and I’m serious but watch
this if I stopped learning about her
when we started dating 15 years ago
how much would our relationship have
progressed if I stopped learning what
she liked if I stopped learning what she
desires if I stop learning how she
thinks our relationship I would be
having a relationship 15 years later
with somebody that was in the past
because the things that she likes now is
not the same things that she liked back
then and many of us are trying to have a
relationship with God based on the same
things that we learned when we first got
in a relationship with him we’re not
trying to progress and God says it was
good when we started that was enough
room you were on the baby food it was
enough when you were coming but I need
you to learn more about me I need you to
learn about my promises I need you to
learn about the things that I’ve
provided for you I need you to go past
this place right here the proper
response for every one of us to the love
that God shown is that we start learning
about God what does that practically
look like Pastor Mike you read your word
every day mmm pastor do you know how
boring the Word of God I mean does
anybody when you open your Bible sleep
just comes over your whole spirit come
on just let’s be honest in here you’re
just like oh my god I just woke up but
he tired again okay why it’s because the
enemy knows that if you start to learn
about God
you’ll fall in love with it see that’s
the difference that’s why everything
comes to distract you from getting in
the Word of God he’ll allow you to
worship praise even come to church the
moment you just oh my god
everybody’s calling you they called you
in six months and as soon as you say I’m
gonna get devoted I’m gonna make that
now the job wants you to work overtime
did it happen to you didn’t it
hear me but there has to be something on
the inside of us that says I don’t care
what happens nothing is gonna tear me
away from the love letter that is gonna
teach me about my god I am NOT going to
settle at the beginning of this
relationship because I know there’s so
much more for me in this relationship
every person in here has to learn about
God through his word this is our prop
everybody say proper response see there
are other responses I don’t want to act
like you can’t love God and ignore him I
don’t want to act like it’s not real
life for us to be in church for 50 years
and never progress past praying for our
food and we act like we’re living the
abundant full life that God created us
to live and we’re still struggling in
areas that God was trying to let you
conquer years ago but he said you just
have to learn about me do you know there
are promises in the Word of God that are
things that you do not have to settle
for in this life because you are saved
and you have you are joint heirs with
Jesus Christ there’s stuff you don’t
have to deal with but you’ll deal with
them until you know that you don’t have
to deal with them but you have not
learned these things let me give you a
practical one when I was young I had a
very lustful tinge and my mom gave me a
scripture that there were many times it
didn’t work every time but there was
many times that this script I hate you
got to be honest it didn’t work every
time
but there were many times that this
scripture kept me out of doing crazy
stuff Psalms 119 I learned about God he
said how does a young man or a young
woman keep this way pure he hides
himself in the Word of God and that’s
all I had but I learned it and as I
learned it about God it gave me a
promise that kept me I remember being in
the car on the way to somebody’s house
with bad intentions and this scripture
would come out of my spirit how does a
young man you might go keep his way pure
by hiding himself in the word house hmm
well I guess I’ll go get something to
eat but it wasn’t until I learned about
God that those things begin to get
activated in me I want to tell everybody
the proper response to all that God has
done for you is that you learn more
about him now I don’t care how long
you’ve been in church if you’re a
teacher of the word if you know this coz
self-righteous people get all I’ve
learned about the word there’s another
level
there’s always another level for you God
goes from glory to glory from grace to
grace he takes you up I want you to know
there’s another level somebody say
there’s another level
the other ways that we can learn about
God is through wise counsel walk with
somebody who’s walked this life longer
than you if I’m 30 I should not have to
go through things that somebody 60 is
going through if I’m walking with them
and getting wisdom and counsel I can
learn how God brought them through that
situation I can learn that’s why I love
that this church is multi-generational
you can look down your road and you
don’t see everybody on your road that’s
your same age there is somebody that is
younger or older it’s time for us to get
in community that’s why we do belong to
because that’s a place that we can learn
we can learn how God changed your life
we can learn how you overcame that
addition we can learn but we learn about
God do that and so our proper response
to what God’s done for us is that we
learn about him another way is that you
read books
Church we are the most ignorant
organization in the world and I don’t
say that talking about anybody
specifically I know for me and this is a
message that a pastor has to bring so I
need everybody to hear me today I want
us to grow I don’t want us to stay at
the same place I don’t want us to be
dealing with the same issue six years
from now six months from now six weeks
from now but it takes us having to learn
the proper response and the proper
response to what God has done to us is
that we need to learn about him
you need to read books like Jesus is by
Judas min the blessed life by Robert
Morris you need you need to read books
that will challenge you and change your
perspective I’ve read more books in the
past year than I have in my entire life
but it shaped and changed me because I
know more about God what is the proper
response to the love of God for you it’s
to learn about God number two
the proper response to God’s love is
obedience now this is the one nobody
really likes but Jesus makes it real
plain
everybody just turned with me to John
14:15 and I don’t want you to ever
forget this scripture don’t ever forget
description this one will change the
whole game for you now this is Jesus
talking and he says if you love me obey
my commands it doesn’t get any clearer
than that
if you love me obey me some people don’t
like the word obey so let me help y’all
if you love me do what I’ve asked you to
do and this is where most Christians get
stuck for their entire life entire life
coz pastor you all know man if they push
me too far I’m going off I don’t care
what the word says if they push me too
far you know when you start clapping
your hands when they push me too far
I’m going off well pastor you don’t
really understand we’re really having a
financial challenge right now so that’s
why we have to stop tithing
see if you love me obey my commute ooh
do well Tyson Mike you don’t really
understand I’m a man and if the urge is
too strong
imma find me some will you see how quiet
it is in here oh that was just quiet I’m
I’m gonna find me some I got to have sex
God will understand Jesus walk this
earth
why are you saying this all Pesa Mike
it’s because God is saying to us if you
love me your obey me and see this is the
crazy thing is that the first response
is about learning because you can’t obey
what you haven’t learned that’s why we
have to get in the word because once we
get in the word we learn about God’s
commands David was saying I meditate on
these commands day and night he’s one of
the only people that God says this is a
man after my own heart even though he
messed up he had my word in his heart so
he could turn even when he messed up
what God is saying is I need you to obey
what I’ve already set out for you but
you got to learn it first and then you
got to obey it second and I know this is
not popular but I’m giving you a key to
your future our proper response to what
God has done for us is not to just sit
here and be the same the whole reason
that this sermon got motivated is I
talked to a young man after the second
week of you are loved and he said Pastor
Mike I kidding God loves me man I’m
telling you I’ve accepted it I’ve let go
of my past I know he’s gonna use me now
I’m not disqualified there’s nothing
that can separate me from God’s love
it’s just presented me with another
challenge Pastor Mike and I was like
what’s up he was like I just have this
super urge to just have sex and it’s
hard for me not to because I know God
will still love me
now I just said his scenario but you
might have something of your own okay so
now that I know nothing can separate me
from the love of God I want to fulfill
my sinful desires and then just ask for
forgiveness how many of us have planned
our sin and our forgiveness speech at
the same time come on I’m come sitting
right here and right about later on the
ask for forgiveness hey glory to God is
a good good God see I’m talking about
real stuff today I’m coming into your
house today I want to shout you about to
be quiet and listen to what god this is
not me this is what God wanted to say
I’ve put my love out for you but I want
you to respond properly to it I want you
to learn more about me and I want you to
obey me see this young man he missed the
proper response to the love of God God
doesn’t provide this way of a state for
us to go back into the same filthiness
he he wants us to realize that that is
beneath us and that he has so much more
for us see he makes it so clear that God
is not trying to keep you from something
he’s trying to keep you for something
y’all missed it God’s not trying to keep
you from something he’s trying to keep
you for something he has a plan and a
purpose that is bigger than anything
that you could ever imagine but when you
obey his commands the things that he set
up for you that’s how you reach purpose
quicker that’s how you get to the
destination without all the scars that’s
how you walk in the purpose and you
don’t have all the collateral damage is
that you obey what God has asked us to
do and see this is where people get
messed up and I want you to hear me and
I’m gonna give you equation real quick
this is our proper response it’s to obey
God God’s love
has to do with our value God values you
his love and his value will never change
for you I want everybody to realize that
just write down on your paper
God’s love equals value God’s love
equals value but check this out our
obedience equals God’s support God’s
love equals our value he will never stop
loving you no matter what you do no
matter how you fall no matter where you
go he will never stop loving you
but your obedience when you obey his
command it determines the support he
gives oh let me some of y’all like huh I
don’t get it let me explain this to you
just a little further okay watch this
support means to hold up to pay for so
God does not support things that go
against what he’s already said to do and
many of us are out here so in our Wild
Oats going against the command of God
praying that God wouldn’t let her get
pregnant he can’t support that hear me
when we obey the commands that God give
whatever it is we have to know that he
will support that but when we step
outside of the will of God and think
that he’s gonna support that it didn’t
change his love for you
it didn’t change his value for you it
just said I ain’t paying for that no let
me give you a better example if one of
my kids grew up and they’re really gonna
live a great life and we got beautiful
houses and oh my daughter gets us y’all
see us in houses in the name of Jesus
you don’t hate on my future let me go to
this side they haters over there and and
and when she turns 16 and whatever cause
she wants cuz she’s gonna get good
grades i’ma give it 4 at the moment she
goes against the rules of the house and
starts drinking and driving my value my
love for her did not change I still
value can stay in this house I love you
you can keep the last name
but at the moment you start disobeying
what has been set out I can’t support
that I can’t hold that up so give me
them keys
give me that car and matter of fact give
me the gas money I gave you too
why it’s not because I don’t love you
but I can’t support disobedience help me
Holy Spirit some of y’all are walking in
here saying God has forgotten about you
and he’s standing right there waiting
for you just to obey you out there god I
thought you was with me he said you’ve
been on my wheel for five years you’ve
been being disobedient this entire time
and I love you my value for you never
change but my support I can’t hold that
up
I can’t keep holding up those things
that go outside that’s why we have to
learn about God’s Word and then we have
to obey because when we learn and then
we start obeying God out of a place of
love we open up a chasm of blessings and
opportunity and favor I mean literally
God there is nothing that God would
withhold from those who you don’t
understand the scripture God wants you
to learn he wants you to obey but he’s
not going to support and hold up our
disobedience when we disobey God’s Word
we handcuff him you put God on lockdown
God why aren’t you doing this for me he
said because you aren’t doing what I
asked you
God don’t play favorites
he just looks for obedience that’s why I
can have two kids in my same house and
if his Abela wants to drink and drive
she will be catching her uber on her
feet everywhere she wants to go but if
MJ obeys me in the same scenario he can
have whatever vehicle he wants
not because I love him more than I love
if the value didn’t change I just want
everybody to understand God’s not
keeping something from you because he
doesn’t love you he just said I need you
to obey me so I can support you so I can
hold that up our obedience that’s why
the scripture says and I hope this has a
new revelation Samuel said it like this
your obedience is better than your
sacrifice see I want you to understand
this because it’s the proper response to
what God’s given his love for us he said
if you obey me that’s how I really know
you love me I know my daughter loves me
is what she does what daddy says not
just saying oh my dad is great my dad is
the best my daddy is a good good father
take out the trash no where’s the
obedience church I’m telling you that if
you get stuck on this point we will
never be able to properly respond to the
love of God we got to start obeying in
man we got to start obeying what he says
and listen this is the beautiful thing
about it is that God knew it would be
hard for us to obey Him in these flesh
suits like he knew what he was putting
us in so look what it says go to the
scripture in John chapter 14 we read
verse 15 if you love me obey my commands
but watch what 16 says I don’t love God
because he’s so faithful it says and
then Jesus will ask the Father and he’ll
give you another advocate a helper
somebody that can help you in this flesh
soon who will never leave you he is the
Holy Spirit who will literally leave you
into all truth God I don’t know how to
obey you I sent you a helper and all you
got to do is ask him and he will leave
you into all truth well I don’t have the
love for those people I’m supposed to
love my enemy that’s one of your
commands God he knew we were in this
flesh shoot so he said ask the Holy
Spirit to help you
and I’ll give you what you need see when
you have a desire to obey God gives you
a supplier to obey when you have a
desire to obey God he’ll give you a
supplier and his name is the Holy Spirit
it says that the Holy Spirit will teach
you all things but many of us are asking
them for anything how do I have peace
that passes all understanding in the
midst of this crazy situation Holy
Spirit I need your help
Holy Spirit I’m trying to obey God and
not slap these people God I’m trying to
turn the other cheek but I’m gonna turn
a couple of dates cheeks gotta need your
help
does everybody understand what I’m
saying Holy Spirit come into this
situation now I’ve got my finances are
jacked up Holy Spirit I need you to come
into this situation now I need you right
now
and God said if you just desire to obey
my word I’ll send you the supplier how
do we really express our love to God we
obey Him that’s the proper response
the third thing how do we express or
properly respond to God’s love the
proper response to God’s love is always
verbalized it’s always verbalized I’ve
never loved something that I didn’t tell
somebody I never loved someone that I
didn’t tell them and I never loved
anything and not try to get other people
involved in it how do we properly
respond to what God’s done for us his
love he’s shown us we got to verbalize
it we got to start talking about it the
first way is we talk to him people say
that they love God and they never tell
him what we call that is worship it’s
love expressed this morning when we got
to the end of that song hallelujah you
have
the victory we were all corporately
expressing our love to God and many of
us don’t do that unless we’re in this
room so what if I told my wife I loved
her in one room at one location at one
time once a week I mean every Saturday
at 6 a.m. I’m gonna tell you I love you
once that wouldn’t describe and depict
how much I really love her if y’all
follow me on Instagram I talk about my
wife all the time
if you around my house you can walk out
smack her butt and I’m just saying and
she find it and I don’t care how it
makes you feel I’m at my house I love
that woman so I talk about it you love
God but you’re silent Church the proper
response to how much God loves us is
that we start verbalizing how much we
love him
you got to express your love that’s why
when we come in here to worship I don’t
care one of our sisters here she got on
social media and started singing and she
told she said I don’t care I know I
ain’t got the best singing voice but I’m
about to express my love to God and I’ll
say you better go girl because so many
people are concerned about people who
are outside of the relationship judging
what you got inside the relationship
that you won’t even express how much he
means you forget you I love God and He
loves me and i’ma tell the entire world
you were not there when God saved me
when I was broken you are not there when
he called me by my name you are not
there when he looked over some other
people save you
you wouldn’t care you don’t know the
sacrifice you don’t know what God’s done
for us so I will declare my love from
the mountaintop
I feel like Leonardo DiCaprio my love
will go on I don’t care what you say
that’s what it is to not be ashamed of
the gospel of Jesus Christ but many of
us got our little candle lit this little
light of mine but it’s hiding under a
bushel I want too many people to know
that might offend somebody you know PDA
just in regular talk it offends people
sometimes like when husbands and wife
like hug and kiss in public I see y’all
know what the hell we had to do to get
here I will kiss hug love everything I
wanna do right here why because it’s not
my love with God is not about you my
love with God is about him so you got to
start verbalizing it how else do you
verbalize it through prayer you talk to
God prayer is the language of the
dependent not that I can’t do it without
you I won’t do it without you
there are movies that I do not go see by
myself not because I can’t because I
want to share the experience with the
one I love and there are movies I still
ain’t seen to this day cuz we couldn’t
go together what are you willing to not
do without God I won’t go through my day
without talking to him I won’t go to
work without talking to him not because
I can’t do some stuff without him
because I’m so weak I should know that
by now I choose to include him an answer
II thing that I do because it’s the
proper response to the love that he’s
shown me I love you that much I ain’t
gonna do it without you boo that’s what
I say to my wife and it’s the same thing
we should say to God I’m not gonna do it
without you God
I’m not gonna live this life I’m not
gonna stay married I’m not gonna work
this job I’m not gonna go use my gifts
I’m not gonna do any of this without you
that’s the proper response to the love
that God shown the last one is what’s
the proper response in this
verbalization that we’ve evangelized we
tell somebody else if you get a good
burger from somewhere and he just let
you know you’ve heard let me just not
say burger but whatever you like to eat
and it blesses your life y’all know that
food that’s like somebody laying hands
on you you understand and it blesses
your life you don’t you don’t just walk
up the next people you see you usually
may have you had get the answer Lana’s
from them and you tell why because what
you loved you now want to share with
somebody else
if all the people who said they loved
God in this place would share their love
with somebody this church would not be
big enough to hold the word says it like
this if no one will tell them how will
they know because I love God I tell
people about God at Walmart at the
basketball game I’m not ashamed of the
God listen you can deny it or not but
I’ve accepted this love and so how do I
respond to the love of God I’ve realize
it I tell people about it
I tell God how much I love them I talked
to him in prayer and include him in
everything I do
and I tell everybody else about it not
cuz I’m a pastor and I want everybody to
hear me say this I don’t do what I do
because I get up here and speak to you
on Sunday mornings I do what I do
because I love God
and I know how much he loves me
the last thing
the proper response to God’s love for
all of us is that we evolve can I say it
to you another way the proper response
to God’s love is that we change that we
transform how we know we’ve really
received God’s love is that we’re not
the same as we were and this is where
many people they say statements like
this this is just how I am I don’t care
what area it is man I’ve been out of
lived a long time this is just this is
just me when you say statements like
that what you’re saying is I will not
allow God to work on that area in my
life I won’t and because God is a
gentleman cuz some of y’all husbands and
wife’s nudging each other you see stop
let God heal him man but our proper
response to God is that we not stay the
same that we would change let me tell
you a true story last week Sunday night
I was watching the MTV Music Awards and
Kanye came on and he gave a whole little
spiel about randomness and then he shows
this video that’s basically pornography
on cable television and as I was sitting
there watching it everything in me never
wanted to see it again not because
Kanye’s bad not because the dancing
wasn’t good not because it was our not
artistic or creative it would it was
because I knew that that was a picture
that was not God’s best for me
and at that moment when I realized that
I said oh shoot I’ve changed I’ve
evolved like something in me is
different in a different season I would
have watched that and while it was still
gone I would have found it on the
internet and watched it 20 more times
and probably went by myself and tried to
do something to to make myself feel good
if you know what I’m saying
and why are you being that real Mike
because that’s what we deal with in our
real life okay in a different season
that’s what I would have done but in
that moment when I was faced with that
thing again
I realize oh shoot I’ve changed it’s
because I started to learn about God I
started to obey what he’s put out for me
I started to verbalize my love for him
through worship through prayer through
telling other people and it ended up
evolving my life and changing me and
transforming me so let me help you
what’s the proper response to love it’s
love to learn about God to obey God to
verbalize our love for God and to evolve
I want everybody to see it very clearly
that what we are supposed to do in
response to God sacrificing His only Son
is that we love him back now this is not
a cereal for you this is not oh I love
God you love God as long as you this is
not that this actually has handles put
that back on the screen I want everybody
to see this what’s the proper response
to God’s love for us it’s that we love
Him we learn about him we’re not gonna
stay ignorant of the scriptures and the
promises and what God has provided we’re
gonna learn about him we’re gonna once
we learn them we’re gonna obey
what he said we’re not gonna be
disobedient asking God to support things
that go against his word we’re gonna
verbalize our love for him through
worship and prayer and evangelism and
we’re gonna evolve we’re gonna change
we’re gonna transform the name of this
church is transformation Church not so
that we can stay here and just change
buildings
I’ll stay in this building forever if
everybody who comes in here gets changed
do you hear me we’ll do fifteen services
here if this is really a place of
transformation but it only happens when
we learn about God
when we obey what he’s saying when we
verbalize it when we evolve when we
change Romans 12:1 this is my last
Scripture and we’re out of here it says
and so dear brothers and sisters I plead
with you I beg you give your bodies to
God because of all he has done for you
it didn’t say for us remember this is
about you are loved give your life to
God for all he’s done for you
let them be living sacrifice holy the
kind he will find acceptable this is
truly the way to worship Him and don’t
copy the mundane and lethargic behaviors
and customs of this world but let God
transform you let him change you into a
new person by changing the way you think
then you will learn
that’s that learning again to know God
so you know how to obey Him and his will
for you which is good and pleasing and
perfect God has something so cold for
you you couldn’t even dream it up before
you were formed in your mother’s womb he
knew you he had plans for you to prosper
you not to harm you to give you hope and
a future but you have a part to play in
this Pastor Mike I am loved I am loved I

respond you’re supposed to give a reply
to the love that God’s giving you

can’t obey Him many people are walking
