This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. (from the book of 1 John)
Still not understanding how I could feel at peace in the midst of chaos, I learned that God the Father loved me before I knew him and sent Jesus His Son as a ransom for my soul. You, too, can know that God the Father loves you.
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God. (from the book 1 John)
When I chose to give total control of my life to God the Father through Christ Jesus, his Son, I learned that my faith revealed an indwelling of the Holy Spirit to be my life guide. I pray for you to want to choose to activate a guiding light in your life.
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
When people’s lives please the Lord, even their enemies are at peace with them. (from Proverbs)
I learned when a person depends on the power of God the Father there is no anxiety in the midst of chaos. You too, can choose to let Jesus control your life.
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. (from the book of 1 John)
In desperation I cried out to God to save me. I didn’t know that I was exercising faith in the power of God the Father through the work of His Son, Lord Jesus Christ. I soon began to learn. You too, can exercise your faith.
Luv Ya!
Beloved—
Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. (from Hebrews)
I was Awestruck … when I realized that the Son of Almighty God, my Savior, was obedient even though He was totally aware of the horrendous sacrifice He would have to endure to ransom my soul. I pray that you, too, understand the price needed to save your soul.
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life —- let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us . . .(from The Word)
God the Father made the ultimate sacrifice — giving His only Son as a ransom for my soul — knowing the suffering His Son would have to endure. Not only did the Son fully understand the Father’s plan, he was willingly obedient. Now, my naked soul is covered with the righteousness of my Savior, Christ Jesus! I pray for you to want to be covered with His righteousness.
Luv Ya!
MAY GOD BLESS YOU
The History of “It’s Wednesday”
The power of praise and prayer has been a passion of mine since I was a very young Christian. As a church secretary, I took on the prayer ministry, especially for students and teachers at the preschool located on the church campus.
The prayer ministry came to include actual hands-on prayer, Wednesday was the designated day. One particular teacher would often say to me “It’s Wednesday, isn’t it?” When she resigned to return to school, she said she would miss our weekly prayer time. I told her, “don’t worry I’ll email you your prayer.”
In her first emailed prayer I wrote on the subject line “It’s Wednesday” and the title just stuck. I would like to introduce you to that weekly email known as It’s Wednesday, that began in 2003.
I’m praying daily for YOU and that you will fall in love with Jesus more and more everyday; He has taken out your heart of stone and given you a heart of flesh and blood … His blood!
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David
a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.*
MERRY CHRISTMAS
*(from the Word of God)
Beloved–
And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us. Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us. (from 1 John)
I’m not sure when I realized that the Holy Spirit was a “Permanent part of me.” Most of the time I didn’t even acknowledge His presence. Confessing my arrogance helped me to want His way over my own. You too, can have an intimate relationship with Him.
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world. (from the book of 1 John)
I catch myself sinning all the time. It’s comforting to know I’m covered by the righteous blood of Jesus Christ making me presentable in the presence of the Lord God Almighty. You too, can be covered in His righteous blood.
Luv Ya!
