… Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations … 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)

I heard a refrain from a song, that caught my attention, playing in the background.  The words I heard  —- “I give myself away, so you can use me” —- they rattled around in my head all week, even while I was asleep.  I wonder do I patiently allow God to do his will in my life?  Or do I really give myself away?  Is that semantics or is there a real difference; apparently to my way of thinking it is.

I pray for you to KNOW how dearly God loves you, so you can rest in the God who is … the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.

Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.  (from Romans)

Overwhelming victory — not me — I just feel overwhelmed.  But the word of God (he who can not lie) says I’m a victor and he has my back.  So I’ll stand up straight and lean back and KNOW that he is there !!

I pray for you everyday to KNOW his victory in your life, praising the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

For God so loved the world …

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus …

… but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit.  (from John and Romans)

“The world,” spoke about me, but generally; “those who belong to Christ Jesus,” speak about me specifically; “think about things that please the spirit,” speaks to me about what to do.  Pray for those who haven’t understood the message — yet.  Pray for my fellow believers because we are all family and always need encouragement. Pray for our enemies because God loves them too!

I pray for you daily, to know and understand his great love and the enormity of the sacrifice that God the Father made specifically for you.  Praising the God who is … God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!  

Luv Ya!

Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.  (from Romans)

Before I received the Holy Spirit I knew who I was.  I was reasonably intelligent, resourceful and confident in my ability to resolve any situation to my own satisfaction.  When I found that my sinful trust in my confident, resourceful intelligence could not undig the the deep hole that I had personally dug for myself; I cried out to God and he answered me.  Now I live with peace of mind and heart and trust in the Spirit’s perfect wisdom and guidance to resolve any situation, usually to my amazement.

I pray each day for you to experience that same amazement in your life by enjoying the control of the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!
