Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.  (from Hebrews)

Faith was a difficult concept for me because I was a do it myself kind of girl; still am.  But dedicated daily Bible reading (no matter how short the time) soon gave me the assurance I needed.  I came to KNOW the presence of the Holy Spirit and to see and understand how much my Lord Jesus paid to secure my salvation.

I pray everyday for you to KNOW his presence is backing you up as well as guiding you forward.

Luv Ya!

…[do]you need someone to teach you…the basic things about God’s word?     Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong. (from Hebrews)

When I first began to read the Bible it was only to find an answer to my latest catastrophe; but I found no quick solution to what was right or wrong.  Then I learned just as looking at the pictures in the cookbook didn’t make a skillful cook, sporadic Bible reading didn’t help me KNOW how much God loves me.

I pray for you daily to want to train yourself in the ways of the God who is.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.  So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe.  (from Hebrews)

In the beginning I thought of my salvation as a place of safety.  I did not realize the magnitude of the price that had been paid for my sin nor did I [do I] comprehend the magnitude of my rebellion.  Even so, I’m covered by the blood that Jesus shed on the cross.

I pray everyday that I will step out of the way so only Jesus can be seen; it’s a daily battle. I pray for you to have victory in your daily battle as well.

Luv Ya!

Listen as Wisdom calls out! Hear as understanding raises her voice!  So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it.  (from Proverbs and Hebrews)

Drifting is probably my greatest fault.  Getting all my ducks in a row and then standing back and admiring MY handy work.  Forgetting that it was answer to my begging prayer and not my own doing.  Pride gets me every time.

I pray for you to remember that even when you drift you are still within the veil of his love.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Jesus knew that his mission was now finished…he said, “It is finished!” he bowed his head and released his spirit.  (from the book of John)

Finished means all done, there is nothing else to do. Which means I can’t add or subtract from Jesus’ completed work.  My debt is paid!  I can’t pay it back!  What can I say, what can I do but give my heart completely to you Lord.  

I pray for you to know there is nothing so good or so bad that you can do that alters Jesus’ finished work on the cross.  God loves you, you can’t change that!  Have a Happy Easter.

Luv Ya!
