Beloved–

Though you have not seen him, you love him.  Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.   (from 1 Peter)

Because I KNOW that Jesus is the truth, light and the way, I can overcome the cultural fear of sharing my joy.  I tend to become a “fixer” when I see people trying to put a square peg into a round hole; but just because I can’t see the Spirit working doesn’t mean that it’s not true.

I pray for you daily to look where God is working and go there and pray for wisdom and discernment for his guidance.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

I will praise God no matter what happens.  I will constantly speak of his glories and grace; I will boast of all his kindness to me.  Let all who are discouraged take heart.  For I cried to him and he answered me, he freed me from all my fears.  Taste and see that the Lord is good.  Oh the joys of those who take refuge in him!  (from Psalms)

I pray for you everyday, that you keep the eyes of your heart focused on him and not your circumstances–good or bad–but praising the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing.  Don’t talk too much, for it fosters sin.  Be sensible and turn of the flow.

The mouths of fools are their ruin; their lips get them into trouble.  Even fools are thought to be wise when they keep silent; when they keep their mouths shut, they seem intelligent. (from Proverbs)

As young Christian, I was anxious to learn more about how to live my new life.  I started with devotionals and then started a systematic reading of the Bible daily.  The Book of Proverbs helped me to recognize me as God sees me.  

I pray for you daily to see how much the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit …  sees you with his grace, mercy and loving eyes.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Hatred stirs up quarrels, but love covers all offences.  Pride leads to disgrace; but with humility comes wisdom.  (from Proverbs)  

I woke up this morning with the realization that I was not as good a heart-keeper as I had praised myself for being.  Down deep in my heart I was still angry about the betrayal by my best friend.  I was not really as forgiving as I had thought of myself.  Then I cried and praised God for answer to my prayer, that I wanted nothing in my heart to come before my love for him.

I pray for you everyday, that you choose the God who is…Father, Son and Holy Spirit above all.
Luv ya!

In the beginning the Word already existed.

The Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Beloved–

Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing. (from Proverbs)

I was told as a child that truth was paramount but frankness should be tempered; but my bent was to shoot first and ask questions later.  God always makes a way to escape sin.  After several years of daily reading the Bible, Proverbs in particular, I was in a dispute, about child discipline, with my beloved mother-in-law.  My opinion rushed to my lips just as his word flashed through my brain; it took just a second but it was enough for me to stop the flow.

I pray for you daily to desire to spend time with the Lord, to absorb his character and the gracious love he has for you.  To worship the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.  (from Proverbs)

As a new Christian I did many different Bible studies despite the fact that I had never read the whole book.  My first attempt took me 18 months.  The most important thing I have learned is how much more I have to learn.

I pray for you everyday that you want to know how much you don’t know about the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Luv Ya!

Praise God from whom all blessings flow.  

 Praise him all creatures here below.

Praise him above the heavenly hosts.   

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Beloved–

My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment. Hang on to them.  (from Proverbs)

At an early age I learned that it was better to have a good plan prepared rather than to let circumstances control my life; still I frequently painted myself into a corner.  Then I met my savior and learned who was really in control!

I pray for you everyday to worship the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

O Lord, I will honor and praise your name, for you are my God.  You do such wonderful things!  You planned them long ago, and now you have accomplished them.  (from Isaiah)

As a maturing Christian I definitely learned that my God was totally in control; and despite my broken heart, I lived to see the wisdom of his “NO.”  Once again with a broken heart, I can praise my God, mourning the loss of my beloved friend, Margarita.

I pray for you daily to praise the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!
