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!
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 . . .
I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart. Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; let us exalt his name together. I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears . . .
Beloved–
Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. (from Ephesians)
How many times have I read that first verse of Ephesians and dismissed it as a salutation rather than the first item on the list of character attitudes needed to achieve “unity” with other believers. I have been CALLED by GOD to be worthy of the free gift of salvation I have received through the DEATH and RESURRECTION of my Lord Jesus Christ! I pray for you too, to want to be worthy of the salvation the Lord God Almighty offers you.
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.” This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one. So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
(from Ephesians)
If you asked me how long I have been married I would respond 6 years even though 50 years have gone by. We each worked until retirement, my husband nights and I worked days all while raising 6 children of our own as well as various and sundry nieces and nephews. Now, the house is quiet, just he and I; practically strangers. I’m learning the difference between loving someone, being in love with someone and respecting someone. I pray for you too, to develop your relationship with the Holy Spirit.
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment. Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding . . . Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord . . . (from Proverbs)
I searched my heart and found that the depth of my love for Almighty God is sorely lacking. Why should I be afraid . . . I should be afraid of not loving Him enough. I pray for you too, to fear the Lord God Almighty!
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom. All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom. Praise him forever! Yirat Adonai ! (from Psalms)
I cried out to God to save me and He did! Then I learned that I should fear him but not as the world does. He is my savior. Why should I be afraid? I pray for you to have an insight into your relationship with your maker.
Luv Ya!
