But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.  (from the books of John)

My sin interrupts my relationship with my savior.  Studying the “whole book” causes me to clearly see my sin; helping me to quickly confess it and restore my relationship with the Father through the presence of the Holy Spirit. For me confession is the answer.  I pray for you to try it for yourself, praising the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.  (from first John)

By reading the “whole book” I learned that the enemy can no longer beat me over-the-head with my guilt, telling me that I’m not worthy of God’s love. Studying the “whole book” teaches me that I’m covered by the blood of Jesus, his Son that washes away my sins as if they never were. I pray for you to know this freedom.  Praise the triune God for his sacrificial love.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.  (from the book of John)

“To live in Christ” is to trust and obey no matter the approaching calamity.  That is the easy part.  Being kind to the unkindly.  Returning good to those who mistreat me. Giving in when the other person has a contrary opinion; guarding my tongue at the result. “To live in Christ” begins with putting myself last. Studying the whole book is the only way for me. I pray for that peace for you.  Praise our triune God!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.  (from Peter)

I was so busy trying to be “Christlike” that I missed the escape route, provided by my Lord, to avoid temptation.  And so I responded to my critics ( my children think I’m too strict; their grandparents think they need more structure, and the love of my life thinks I “fuss” too much) in a most un-”Christlike” way.  The word of God is the only way to have peace of mind and heart. I pray for that peace for you. We have an amazing triune God!

Luv Ya!
