Lisa Chan sang on one of her albums, “How deep the Fathers Love for us”. The verse below says it all. May your Easter be filled with amazement at what Jesus and the Father had sacrificed that we might Live!

He would suffer many things for our sake. He did for us, what we could never do for our selves.

Our Hope is both in this present age, in an imperfect world, but one day, for all of eternity, spending with Jesus in our perfect world, for all of eternity.

“Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:11

It is not in our own strength that we fight the battle, but in Gods Holy Armor, which he gives freely, to all believers. If we try and fight in our own strength and might, we lose. I pray that we are reminded daily, that there is a spiritual battle raging, and we remember to fight filled with his spirit and his might

If you have been rescued from the miry pit of destruction, as you cried out to God, let us hear from you. I can still remember in my days by myself in California, as a 20 year old, my cry and my desperation, and anger, as I cried to him. Interestingly, HE waited patiently waited for me, in my rebelliousness to find my own way, because I thought he had lost my way, but it turns out, I had lost his way. How about you, how did you find him.

68:6 home for the lonely. God cares for those who have lost families, especially the orphans and widows (v. 5 ; cf. Ex 22:22–24 ; Ps 10:14 ; Jas 1:27 ).

His ways, not Our ways!

bible.com/bible/100/pro.16.3.NASB1995

His ways not Our ways. I wish it were always that easy. Everyday, the is a war that rages that needs to be caught in the spirit, not the flesh, that we might surrender to following Jesus. I hope the battle belongs to the Lord, today for you, my friends as well as for me. God Bless

My Fathers favorite verse and because of his love for it, has become one of my favorites, as well. How precious is this verse and the memories, of my Father, and his desire to follow Jesus.

So much to be thankful for, yet we can easily zone in on what is wrong. That is the ENEMY. Resist the devil and he will flee!

Our Hope is not in Earthly things (See notes below).

bible.com/bible/100/psa.46.1.NASB1995

Our Hope is not in our local, regional, or international leaders, or our nation. Our Hope is in the one true God, who knows all things and his plan marches on, in spite of those who stand against him. His plan is to rescue all those who turn to Jesus, his son, that they might be restored to a right standing before him. For those who turn to him for their Hope, there is both blessing and forgiveness, for what is behind us.
