What a beautiful picture, of what the church should look like. May we, as brothers and sisters in Christ, exemplify this verse, imperfect as we are. May we display a glimpse of, one day what we will become, when we are perfected, in Heaven. A little bit of heaven on earth. This 😇 not 👹 during this holiday season. Let me hear fro you this week! What are you thankfull for? I am thankful for my family both immediate and church, for breath, for music, for you all, who put up with me. 😊 …..and last but not least, Jesus!

Lord, may our hearts humbly bow before you, in persistent prayer. May we be alert, to the needs of others, so we might lift them up. Reveal yourself to us, through answered prayer, even though it may not be, what we wanted the outcome to be. May we always remember, that you care about us and love hearing our petitions.

Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;
COLOSSIANS 4:2 NASB

Lord, may you show us your greatness, in the little things we do, and the interactions we have, with others today. May you reveal to your greatness, that our hearts might be filled with joy, and proclaim your greatness to others. Amen.

For this reason You are great, O Lord God ; for there is none like You, and there is no God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
2 Samuel 7:22 NASB

Father, may our hearts be filled with thankfulness, as we surrender to you.  May your peace overwhelm us as we go out and live our lives today.


Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Colossians 3:15 NASB

https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.15.NASB

Our deeds are not because we are so good.  It is an outpouring of our hearts, when we understand how good, God is to us.   His Grace and Mercy should flow out of us, because we have been the benefactors of them. 


“I, the Lord , search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds.
Jeremiah 17:10 NASB

Mankind, can never earn their salvation!  It is a futile effort, to do this in our own strength.  The Good News though, is God makes it all possible, through Jesus.  We are forever grateful Lord, for what yoo have given freely to those who will receive. Amen


And looking at them Jesus said to them, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26 NASB

What is your experience with this promise? My wife and I have been blessed many times over by this promise, both of our time and money.  Any thoughts or questions?

Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure-pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”
Luke 6:38 NASB

Are you satisfied at what you are pursuing to find fulfillment  in your life?


Delight yourself in the Lord ; And He will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalms 37:4 NASB

https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.37.4.NASB

The things of this world are temporal,  but the things of the LORD are eternal.   We find joy when we accept and pursue and shower ourselves in God’s promises.

  • We are forgiven, 
  • We are called sons and daughters, 
  • We are loved perfectly, 
  • We have a perfect father, 
  • We are perfect through Jesus work on the cross and his resurrection, 
  • We have a helper who guides and directs us
  • We have God’s word that always gives us wisdom to walk fearlessly  in a lost and decaying world.  
  • We also have a home that is being prepared  for us to spend all of eternity, in a place where there will be no sorrow.

Can I get an Amen?
