On purpose

Beloved–

I pray for you to know how much Jesus loves you. He purposely gave up his life for us so that you will spend eternity with him and see him face-to-face.

Luv Ya!

“The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again. No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again. For this is what my Father has commanded.

Believe

Beloved–

I pray for you to realize that the good shepherd loves you  so much that he willingly paid your sin debt with his own blood so that you could enter the sheepfold.  

Luv Ya!

“I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep. I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd.

Trusting!

Beloved,

I know my heavenly father, the Lord Almighty, is in control! I am praying for me and you to hold on to that truth every moment.  

Luv Ya!Listen to my prayer, O God.  Do not ignore my cry for help!  Please listen and answer me, for I am overwhelmed by my troubles.  My enemies shout at me, making loud and wicked threats.  They bring trouble on me and angrily hunt me down.  My heart pounds in my chest. The terror of death assaults me.  Fear and trembling overwhelm me, and I can’t stop shaking.  Oh, that I had wings like a dove; then I would fly away and rest!  I would fly far away to the quiet of the wilderness.  How quickly I would escape—far from this wild storm of hatred.

He is calling

Beloved–

I pray for you to want to be saved, and receive a rich and satisfying life, all because the gatekeeper, the Lord God Almighty, is holding the gate open especially for you!  He loves you so much.

Luv Ya!

Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures. The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

His love

Beloved–

I pray for you to want to hear the voice of the gatekeeper. He is holding the gate open especially for you, He loves you so much.

Luv Ya!

“I tell you the truth, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber!  But the one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice.  They won’t follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don’t know his voice.”

PEACE

Beloved–

I pray for you to receive the sense of peace that I have received from this Psalm in the last few weeks.

The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.  He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.  He renews my strength.  He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his  name.  Even when I walk  through the darkest valley I will not be afraid,  for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff  protect and comfort me.  You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.  You honor me by anointing my head with oil.  My cup overflows with blessings.  Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

Luv Ya!

The Truth

Beloved–

But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants. (from the book of John)

. . . For God so loved the world . . . The truth is I am a sinner.  The truth is my sin nailed God’s Son to the cross.  The truth is I am covered by the righteous blood of my Savior, Jesus Christ, my maker, my master, the lover of my soul, the Lord God Almighty!  I pray for you to want that same Truth for your life … It is a gift!

Luv Ya!

By faith

Beloved–                      

And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God. (from First John)

I was so happy and excited to know that I was a child of God; I would never be alone again! I had a Savior!  Neither did I know that I was a sinner nor that the nails to crucify him were made of my sins. I was overwhelmed with shame and sorrow. What should I do?  Nothing?  It’s DONE!  The word makes it clear that his love is a free gift.  By faith, believing that Jesus is his beloved son, the Christ, that he is my maker, my master, my Savior, the lover of my soul. I pray for you to want Jesus Christ as your Savior.

Luv Ya!

I didn’t know

Beloved–

If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  (from Romans)

When I cried out to the Lord to save me I didn’t know that I was a sinner.  I didn’t know that it was my sin that nailed him to the cross. I didn’t understand that Jesus came to die —- to pay my sin debt!  I didn’t comprehend the relationship of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. I didn’t understand the significance of His resurrection —- that without it, I would never see my savior face-to-face!  I pray for you to have an overwhelming desire to want a savior and to know that he will love you forever!

Luv Ya!

By faith

Beloved–

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

As a young “child of God” I wanted to know more and more about my heavenly Father. I learned that my heavenly Father does care about every detail of my life. I can have an intimate relationship with him because of my faith in Jesus Christ, His Son, through the Holy Spirit.  I pray for you to want to develop an intimate relationship with your Savior, the Lord God Almighty!

Luv Ya!
