Beloved–
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation (from the book of Peter)
My hope is in Jesus Christ, crucified on the cross, dead and buried; raised on the third day to life everlasting! He is the SAVIOR of all who Believe, as I do, that he is the Son of God. You too, can put your hope in him.
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
God the Father knew you and chose you long ago, and his Spirit has made you holy. As a result, you have obeyed him and have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ. (from the book of Peter)
My hope is in the Blood of Jesus Christ and that God the Father chose me long ago. You too, can trust in his cleansing Blood.
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it. (from the book of Peter)
I’m “called” to recognize the guidance of the Holy Spirit when making everyday choices or decisions that will change my life forever. Studying His Word every day helps me to better understand how and why my heavenly Father wants me to behave as a Child of God. You too, can hear from God!
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
. . . He has given each one of us a special gift through the generosity of Christ . . . Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Chris (from Ephesians)
I don’t think I’m “called” to be an apostle, prophet or evangelist nor a pastor/teacher. However, I am “called” to always give a reason for my hope in Christ Jesus, the lover of my soul. You too, can have the gift he offers.
Luv Ya!

Beloved–
For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been “called” to one glorious hope for the future. (from Ephesians)
Believing, Belonging, Trusting in the Holy Spirit to walk and talk with me along life’s narrow way. “Called” to choose His guidance over my best judgment on what to do. I never cease to be surprised by His solution — so easy. You too, can be amazed!
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
Your roots grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. (from Ephesians)
I believe in Him, I belong to Him, I trust Him. He lives in my heart. Now I must begin to learn every aspect about His mind, body, and Spirit! It will be a lifetime job. It can be a lifetime job for you too!
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him.
I believe I belong, I trust Him. He lives in my heart. You can trust Him too!
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
Because of Christ and our faith in him we can now COME BOLDLY and CONFIDENTLY into GOD’S PRESENCE. (from Ephesians)
I believe so I belong. I share in the promise of blessings to God’s children. You can too!
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews WHO BELIEVE THE GOOD NEWS share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they BELONG TO CHRIST JESUS. Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.(from Ephesians)
I believe so I belong. You can too!
Luv Ya!
