“For this is how God loved the world [me]: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

I took his Word on faith and…..

So I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God will curse Jesus, and no one can say Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:3)

…He proved it to me in his Word.  I couldn’t reject him even in the midst of unfair treatment, I could only thank him!

You [God] will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you [God]! (Isaiah 26:3)

So now my debt is paid and I’m never alone. I pray daily for you to know that you are loved beyond measure.

Luv Ya!

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus…He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, (Romans 8:1 & 4)

Once the euphoria of knowing that I would never be alone again became everyday knowledge I began questioning.  Then I learned that even though my sin was responsible for the nails in his feet and hands; there was nothing I could do (good or bad) that could earn or deserve God’s grace. It’s a free gift!

I pray everyday for you to recognize God’s love for you and accept his free gift of grace.

Luv Ya!

As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one.  No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God.  All have turned away; all have become useless.  No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12)

As an 8-year-old I learned that Jesus came to save the world but I didn’t think that included me.  Despite 4 years of weekly Bible classes, church every Sunday, and youth group attendance my heart was still hardened against a need for a savior by my sin of self-righteousness.  Not until I reached my twenties, and having painted myself into a corner, did I call out for his mercy and grace.

I learned that a long or short list of sins didn’t matter it was either all or nothing and I couldn’t meet that standard.  I praise God I don’t need to even try, I just had/have to rest in the work of my savior, Jesus Christ, son of God.

I pray for you daily to hear God calling YOU!

Luv Ya!

Last time I wrote, “I pray for you daily to see Jesus working in your life because you are trusting in him.”  But how can I feel his loving presence in the chaos that surrounds me?  I need to focus more on the Lord and less on my surroundings; repeating the promises of his Word.

That is why I pray for you everyday to desire his Word in your heart to overcome the chaos.

Luv Ya!
