Beloved–

Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.  (from Ephesians)

Scripture says God the Father chose to bestow his grace on my heart (before he made the first handfuls of soil) so that I would believe in him and reflect his glory.  Me–whose pride, anger, and poor me attitude–would constantly be distorting his image.

I pray for me and you daily to remember how we got here and where we are going.  How many hearts did God choose to see him through you?

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Anyone with ears to hear–listen… to everyone who is victorious I will give fruit from the tree of life in the paradise of God.    (from Revelation)

This promise of God reminds me where to find my joy.  The  trick is not to be distracted by the everyday life of chaos, outside the gates of paradise.   I pray for you daily to keep your eyes up to avoid distraction.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver;  seek them like hidden treasures.  Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain knowledge of God. For the Lord grants wisdom!  From his mouth come knowledge and understanding. (from Proverbs)

I instinctively seek structure all the while complaining I don’t have time to plan.  Daily scripture reading is the way my heavenly father changes my heart to reflect his image to the world and keeps me on mission.   

I pray for you daily, that you will fight to find time to read scripture even if only for five minutes.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge… Proverbs purpose is to teach people wisdom and discipline… Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment. (from proverbs)

Everyone wants to have good judgement but who wants to be disciplined; not me.  Yet, God’s discipline is the best thing that ever happened to me!  I pray you can say the same.  Scripture is such a blessing. God is so good!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.  (from 1 John)

Recently, I learned that I can read the Bible and not hear what it is saying–to me.  I pray for you daily that your heart’s desire is to read and understand scripture, so that you can hear it speaking to you.

Luv Ya!
