Beloved–
Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing. Know that the Lord Himself is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and
the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts
with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the Lord is good;
His loving kindness is everlasting And His faithfulness to all generations. (from Psalms)

Beloved–
Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name. (from Hebrews)
Sacrifices of praise. Sometimes, the chaos is so loud and overwhelming that the only prayer for help is … “thank you Jesus” over-and–over until you can see a clear path to follow! Praise is always the best prayer to utter.
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time. (from Hebrews)
With all my imperfections covered by his blood, I began to grow in my love for my savior. I deliberately purposed to study his word, to learn who he was and why he willingly sacrificed his life for me.
As time passed I began to become complacent, even smug about my knowledge, not realizing I lacked discernment. My savior, graciously put me back on his potter’s wheel. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Luv Ya!

Beloved–
And yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are the potter. We all are formed by your hand. (from Isaiah)
On the potter’s wheel all my scratches, cracks and imperfections were covered over by the precious blood of my savior, Jesus Christ. I was made new! Washed white as snow. What a blessing it is to be in the hands of the potter. Praise the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit!
Luv Ya!

Beloved—
And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. (from Hebrews)
The God who is …. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. A perfect loving community, needing not one soul or not one thing added to make it complete. And yet, invited me in to that circle of complete love to share in it. It is beyond my comprehension but nonetheless my great joy. He says, “be still and know that I Am God!”
Luv Ya!
