Day 15 of God’s Love for Us
September 3, 2017
“Great are the works of the Lord; They are studied by all who delight in them. Splendid and majestic is His work,…He has made His wonders to be remembered;”(Psalm 111:2-4) Aren’t we His works? Yes we are…Yes you are!!! Hallelujah for that thought. There is strength, power, honor, and dignity in that thought when you let it sink into your heart.
Day 14 of God’s Love for Us August 26, 2017 Paul wrote to the Romans, and to the world about Jesus, “Through whom we have received grace and an apostleship to bro g about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles (non-Jews of the world (us)) for His name’s sake, among whom you are the called of Jesus Christ; to all who are beloved of God… called as saints…”(Romans 1:5-7) We are called by God, and chosen by God to be His beloved. He calls us to Himself to have a relationship with Him through His son Jesus by Read More
“Let a man cease from his sinful thoughts, and all the world will soften towards him, and be ready to help him. Let him put away his weakly and sickly thoughts, and the opportunities will spring up on every hand to aid his strong resolves. Let him encourage good thoughts, and no hard fate shall bind him down to wretchedness and shame.” James Allen, As A Man Thinketh, pg 11, 1902. “There is no physician like cheerful thought for dissipating the ills of the body; there is no comforter to compare with goodwill for dispersing the shadows of grief and Read More
Day 13 of God’s Love for Us August 8, 2017 A friend sent me a blog post from Lysa Terkeurst today, in it was this message, “God’s love isn’t based on me…Its simply placed on me…” That made me think deeply. Then as I was reading the suggested passages from Our Daily Bread, I came across this scripture to help back up that thought, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works (our individual talents, dreams, goals, and mission), which God prepared beforehand so that we may walk in them(those talents, dreams, goals, and His mission)” Read More
Day 12 of God’s Love for Us August 2, 2017 “Oh my soul, you are not alone, There’s a place where fear has to face the God you know.”(Mark Hall, Casting Crowns lyrics) Fear does not come from God. Fear comes from Satan, meant to hold us back and keep us from our highest ability and glorifying God. If we really grasp this concept, then we will understand Phillippians 4:13 better, where Paul says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” If we believe that Jesus is stronger than our fears, then we can also live like Read More
Day 11 of God’s Love for Us August 1, 2017 I read an interesting article by Derek Harvey entitled, “The Silent Marriage Killer.” As I read this, it made me think of our marriage with Jesus. He is the bridegroom, and we as followers are His bride. Harvey pointed out that unmet expectations are the root of most problems. I totally agree. He made a formula that says “EXPECTATION – OBSERVATION = FRUSTRATION.” We are human, so therefore, we have expectations; of others, of our spouses and children, of our abilities, and of our faith. When we don’t observe those expectations Read More
Day 10 of God’s Love for Us
July 31, 2017
When Jesus taught His apostles about Salt and Light, He said, “You are the light of the world.” Then He said, “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”(Matt 5:14,16)
We are like the apostles. We are to be a light of Jesus to the world. How we treat others, and treat ourselves, determines how brightly we let His light shine through us.
