This never gets olds, hearing that I can’t earn salvation. The Law cannot save me and when I strive to earn it I am never good enough, but through Jesus, I am made whole, by his gift, that he has freely given, to all who receive it. What a terrible burden, that I am free from the yoke of the Law.
Praise to the one, who has given us Jesus, so that we might have access, to the thrown of God. We celebrate this time of year, that we were given this gift of the Son of God, who was God in human flesh.
Glory of the Lord revealed

A prophetic exhortation told Israel to prepare for the revelation of the Lord’s glory at the arrival of Messiah. Scripture sees John the Baptist in this role (Mt 3:3; Mk 1:3; Lk 3:4–6; Jn 1:23). It likewise sees the future forerunner who is to be like Elijah preparing for Christ’s second coming (Mal 3:1; 4:5, 6).
Father, give us ears to hear, and eyes to see, as we seek ways to show your blessings to others, today. May we not forget, those especially, our brothers and sisters in Christ, in need.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Do any of you in other countries, celebrate Thanksgiving? May our hearts be full of gratitude, for our God has done great things.
Remembering the privilege I had, of participating in the baptism of a friend of mine. He, has since, been able to share his own story with many people, boldly. Love you Sam.
Oh God, you are my hope, in the good times and the bad. It is you, I put my hope and trust. Not in my circumstances, whether good or bad. You are everlasting, and my soul waits for you. AMEN!!!
For with God, ALL things are POSSIBLE………

Verse Thoughts from John Piper
True righteousness and godly love are two sides of the same coin, but neither are possible by human effort, strict training, mortifying of the flesh, or self-denial. True righteousness and unconditional, godly love is the supernatural enabling of a child of God by the Spirit of God, through faith.
To love our enemies and to do good to those that hate us, is impossible in our own strength. Blessing those that curse us and praying for those that mistreat us… without retaliation, is such a distinctive love that it is rare and beautiful and only exhibited in the lives of those that die to their own desires and live for the glory of God.
Every believer is positionally righteous because we were placed ‘in Christ’ at salvation. We are united to Him and identified with Him by faith. But living a life of practical righteousness and transmitting the unconditional love of God to others, which demands that we bless those that curse us and pray for those who despitefully use us and persecute us, is a human impossibility.
