For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.  (from Romans)

Even when I recognize the exit to escape sin, I deliberately reject the chance to do so.  When I do choose to sin, I soon see the hammer and nails in my hands that I used to nail my beloved savior to the cross; Christ’s death.  I pray for you to focus on that still small voice you hear, so you can praise and thank the Lord God Almighty for his gracious love for you.

Luv Ya!

The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.  (from Corinthians) 

God always offers me a way out before I sin.  Most of the time I don’t see the exit until it’s just a little too late to turn away causing a major (not minor) crash.  Then I cry out to my gracious heavenly Father to help me to focus more on his presence in my everyday life so I don’t miss the way out that He offers.  I pray for you to desire to focus on the presence of our triune God in your life.

Luv Ya!

Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said,  “I will dwell in them and walk among them; And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.”   (from Corinthians)

Being designated as a temple of the living God kept my mind going around in circles.  What can I do to make a better presentation for my Savior?  But, He said on the cross, “IT IS DONE.”  I need to recognize the FACT that there is NOTHING I can do!  My heavenly Father, Master of the Universe, willingly sent His beloved Son into the world, shed his blood on Calvary’s tree, to wash away my sin and cover me with his righteous blood, so that I might be acceptable in the presence of the Lord God Almighty.  I pray for you to want to recognize the FACT because God loves you so very much.  

Luv Ya!

And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.  (from Corinthians)

Just like a caterpillar, slowly but surely it turns into a colorful butterfly.  I looked in the mirror every day, looking for any transforming signs; but no, just someone committing the same dumb sins. Only, asking the Lord to help me focus on Him, will I see the shadow of the Lord’s glorious love.  I pray for you to want to bask in the shadow of His glory because he IS Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!
