Beloved–
…“My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses…For when I am weak, then I am strong. (from 2 Cor 12)
Easier read than done. Only praising God for his gift of grace can I smile through my tears. I pray that you and I can be so quiet in Christ that we can hear even the whispers of the Holy Spirit.
Luv Ya!
…I don’t want anyone to give me credit beyond what they can see in my life or hear in my message… (from 2 Corinthians)
Beloved, so say I; hope you do too!
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. (Rom 8:2-3)
But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” (Rom 10:14-15)
Beloved, I pray for you to know him and boldly tell others about the grace he has bestowed on you.
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
It is God who enables us,…to stand firm for Christ…he has identified us as his own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything he has promised us. (from 2 Cor 1)
When I was saved I thought I had found God. I had no idea that God had chosen me even before he had made “the first handfuls of soil.” His overwhelming grace is mind boggling but so comforting.
I pray for you daily to always remember to be aware of his mercy and grace.
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort….Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! (2 Corinthians 3 & 6)
Weighted down with real problems doesn’t look like a good place to be but his word says it is the place of comfort and grace; justified in the work of Christ (not in my own ability to save myself). So I say Lord keep me at the end of my rope the place of the source of all [my] comfort.
I pray for you everyday to know God’s free gift of overwhelming love just for you.
Luv Ya!
