I Love you THIS MUCH…

November 16, 2008

“Did you know that after believers have served God perfectly for ten million years in heaven, not one of them will deserve God’s love any more than they did at the very moment they were saved?  When Jesus Christ died on the cross, God poured on Him the punishment for all our sin — past, present, and future.”

God truly wants to forgive our sin.  Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD.   “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”

He wants to forget our sin.  Psalm 103:12  ” as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.”

He wants to cleanse us from our sin. 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”

He wants to give us and abundant life in spite of our sin.  John 10:10 “10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

God longs to do all of this so much that He Himself endured agony of hell for every one of us.  That’s how much God loves sinners!!!!

Thank you Father God for sending your son Jesus to die for my sins.

Thank you Jesus for sacrificing your own life for my salvation.

Thank you Holy Spirit for reminding me how much Jesus loves His children.

Dependence

October 7, 2008

“An authentic life is the most personal form of worship. Everyday life has become my prayer.”  Sarah Ban Breathnach

I’ve heard the word transparent used when describing someone’s life.  Can you read someone like an open book? 

What is an authentic life? 

For me, it is a daily dependence.  I’m dependent on that still small voice to direct me.  When I choose not to listen…I screw things up.

When I am able and choose to listen, I worship.

God Bless!!

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”   Romans 15:13

9-24-07 Morning Communion with God

September 24, 2007

My quiet time this morning consisted of reading John 14.

 We are very familiar with verse 6, ‘Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.”‘

Verse 11 challenged me in a new and creative way this morning.

Here it is… 

“11Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.”

What things do you hang on to that is evidence of God’s presence?

I lean on my salvation experience,  my marriage, the birth of my children, teaching God’s word and many worship services where the spirit of God touched my heart.

The Holy Spirit confirms me when life pulls me away from my communion with God.   The Holy Spirit teaches me to be in dependent on my morning quiet time.

John 14:25-27 confirms the role of God’s Holy Spirit

“25All this I have spoken while still with you. 26But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

Praise God for His availability.  

 Have a blessed day communing with HIM!!!!
