Beloved–

As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God.  I thirst for God, the living God.  When can I go and stand before him?  (from Psalms)

I was designed by God, my heavenly Father, with a specific purpose for my creation;  yet, he gave me Free Will.  I could choose His way or my own (better judgement) way.  I learned with many hindsight experiences that decision without consultation is not the best choice.  I still make decisions without consultation much to my chagrin but over the years I remember in time more often than not. I praise the Lord God Almighty for his grace and mercy.  I praise Jesus for sending the Holy Spirit to live in my heart.  What a creator we have in our Triune God!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

After his baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened  and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and settling on him.  And a voice from heaven said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.”  . . . And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate who will never leave you.  He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth.  (from Matthew and John)

I have always written my Wednesday prayer letters (first by snail mail then by email)  from my personal point of view.  Hoping that  what I had learned would influence my reader  to see the benefit and the joy of having a Savior  like Jesus Christ.  That the Bible is written about Jehovah by Jehovah;  therefore it is a true and accurate description of who he is. That my creator created me with free choice allowing the Holy Spirit  (that comes to live in the heart of every new  believer) to guide and direct my life.  I am praying for you to desire to know  have a savior that is the Triune God.

Luv Ya

Beloved–

Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love.  Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins.  Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin.  For I recognize my rebellion; it haunts me day and night.  Against you, and you alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight.  You will be proved right in what you say, and your judgment against me is just.  For I was born a sinner— yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.  But you desire honesty from the womb, teaching me wisdom even there.  Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.  Oh, give me back my joy again; you have broken me—now let me rejoice, don’t keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt.  Create in me a clean heart, O God.  .  Renew a loyal spirit within me.  (from Psalms)

Some of the many lessons I learned from reading Psalms 51 a dozen times or more.  #1) God the Father loves me unfailingly. That  is to say I never have to worry that God the Father will ever get mad at me.  #2)  I am rebellious against God the Father even though  my  sinful cruelty usually is aimed at a beloved believer  of His.  #3)  That God the Father is the only one who can protect and restore my soul to perfection because he sacrificed his only beloved Son on the cross of Calvary to ransom my soul. What a triune God we have.

Luv Ya!
