Beloved–

Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love.  Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins. Wash me clean from my guilt.  Purify me from my sin.  (from Psalms)

When I first understood the reality of this verse and its meaning for me, I was stunned.  The only way that Jesus, my God, could willingly, wash away my filthy sin was to use his own righteousness— a part of who He IS— to purify me for himself.

I pray for you daily, that you will recognize the reality of God’s great love for you and accept it with all its connotations.  

Luv Ya!

But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the Lord. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the Lord by sailing to Tarshish.  (from Jonah)

“Lord,” I said, “this can’t be the right way, I’m sure I can fix it.”   What I was saying to God was, that I knew better than he did, that I could escape his decision by my own wisdom.  I soon learned that all my efforts were useless. God’s way was the best solution; that it was better than any I could have imagined.

I pray for you daily to trust your life to God even when his way doesn’t seem quite right to you.  Then you will praise the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

Those who control their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything.  (from Proverbs)

The Lord and I visited this lesson in the early eighties.  I learned to wait to speak and let the Lord show me the joy of keeping my opinions to myself.  I learned to wait  and see that his plan was far better then I would have purposed.  The secret of my most often success was/IS constant prayer that the Lord would/WILL seal my lips as it says in Psalm 144.

I pray for you to want to pray that all you do and that all you say and that all you think and that all you feel and that you want to be to the glory to God — the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. (from Romans)

That is why I can pray: Father God, help me in everything I do, say, think, feel or want will be to your glory.  Help me not to entertain but to reject all negative words, thoughts and deeds.

I pray for you everyday to trust in God’s control of your life and worship the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!
