Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.   Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. (from the book of John)

Today is one of those times when I’m not sure what to write. That is why “It’s Wednesday” is sometimes “IWOT.”  My prayer is that you understand what it means to have an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit.  I don’t always understand it but I know I have it.  I pray for you to have the desire to want an intimate relationship with the God who is . . . Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

 — Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing.

 — “So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven—except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven. Anyone who speaks against the Son of Man can be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, either in this world or in the world to come.

—-  So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.”  (from The Bible)

By trial and error I have learned that God, who is . . . Father, Son and Holy Spirit, cares about every moment of my life.  I need to maintain an intimate relationship with him through the indwelling Holy Spirit.  I pray for you to trust your soul and your life to the Lord God Almighty!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.  (from New Testament)

As I became more faithful at daily Bible reading I also became complacent.  Daily Bible reading was just one more item on my to do list. Everything was running smoothly.  Pride told me that I was getting smarter.  When the crash came I could not recall one Bible verse to give me comfort. It was then that I confessed my sin, I wasn’t getting smarter, I was claiming someone else’s work as my own, it was the Holy Spirit guiding my choices. Only when I have an intimate relationship with my Savior that all things work for good because my heavenly father is/was incharge.  I pray for you to desire to have an intimate relationship with our triune God.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.  Commit everything you do to the Lord.  Trust him, and he will help you.  (from the Old Testament)

I learned many lessons through that 3 year period.  I learned the difference between “delighting in the Lord” rather than “my way is best.”  To be really “delighted” in a plan or idea of the Lord who loves me and is my Lord and savior that I love is not always automatic; sometimes I have to choose to do so.  Because I tend to be selfish and self centered; daily, frequently hourly, I seek his help to “seal” my words, actions, thoughts and feelings so that all that I do reflects his glory. His mercies are renewed every day!  Praise the God who is . . . Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!
