SAVED!

Beloved–

May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great [for me] to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. (from Ephesians 3 nlt)

I have been reading my Bible almost everyday since 1972.  Yet, when rereading a passage, a story, or an entire book there is always something new that I didn’t see in the previous reading.  The most important thing I have learned is that I am saved by grace and not by my own efforts.  By reading God’s word I can learn to know about the depth of his love and sacrifice for me.

I pray for you everyday that you will have a heart’s desire to read his word.

Luv Ya!

Just over your right shoulder.

Beloved–

King David said this about him: ‘I see that the Lord is always with me.  I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. (from Acts 2 nlt)

God’s doesn’t move from place to place; his presence is constant.  When my spirit feels alone or dark I realize that God is not absent but that I have moved out of his embrace.

I pray for you daily to continually be aware of his presence.

Luv Ya!

Try to Understand

Beloved–

Rejoicing in my salvation–never to be alone again–I had no concept of the gift I had received.  Only, the daily (took me many attempts to get started) reading of his word did I come to understand that I’m always connected to his presence and try to comprehend the depth of his grace.

…Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him…may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is…then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. (from Ephesians 3)

I pray for you daily to know how much he loves you.

Luv Ya!

The Only Way

Beloved–

By wisdom the Lord founded the earth; by understanding he created the heavens. (from Proverbs 3)

When I think of all this [the wisdom and scope of God’s plan], I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.  I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. (from Ephesians 3)    

Beloved, I pray that you hear and recognize the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to you clearly. Because “Wise choices will watch over you.  Understanding will keep you safe.” (from Proverbs 2)

Luv Ya!
