My Lord,
Happy Sunday and thank you.
I am encouraged because you are My God!
Church was awesome this morning. I love communion and the fact that you left specific instructions for us to stop and do this in remembrance of you. YOU, Jesus are worthy.
Knowing that we are Saved is crucial! Our security is knowing that we belong to YOU, Lord Jesus and we are looked after by YOU. YOU care for us unlike anyone in this world! Nothing compares and nothing ever will. Stop searching and come to the cross!
Father, I just love that we are the apples of your eye. Everyone knows that I "claim" to be your favorite, but I know that you love everyone as if there were only one of us.
Pastor Wagner kept saying how much you love us and Father, I am one who knows this for certain. I know that there are many who struggle with this truth (that you love them) and maybe I do not because I'm loved by both my dads. My step-dad and my birth-dad love me as well as my sweet son. So maybe, just maybe it's because I feel no love loss that I believe in YOUR love for me.
Or, maybe it's because I deeply cherish my alone time with you. Maybe it's because I immensely enjoy growing more intimate with you with each passing day. Maybe it's because you fervently pursue me and that makes me feel like a Princess.
I can't say for certain why it is that I believe in your passionate love for me, but I can say that the fact that you sent your Son to the cross for my sins is at the very top of the reasons why I feel the utmost affection for you. You didn't have to do it for me and I don't have to believe that you did it for me. #BUT either way, it's true. It's what YOU did and it's what I believe with my whole heart. I am loved and I am forgiven, therefore, I love you!
Father, please keep me in the shadow of your protective wings and please help me to continue this walk with you. I long to be an example of your Son and I cannot imagine being left to "do it" alone. I would not survive a second without your Spirit to guide me. My thoughts, behavior and flesh would fall by the waste side and slowly back to the old way of living. I don't want to be her again and I do not want to be apart of the world. I know what it feels like to be loved by you and I know what it feels like to have your truth permeate inside my heart and I know what it feels like to be cleansed and without condemnation.
I know, that I know and I don't want to not know how it feels to be without you. I need you just as the air that I breathe and I need to know that you're coming back for me. It is the sole reason that my hope and my faith is in YOU alone! I believe your words and I stand firm on the promises that you've made to those who love and obey you!
I am this shinning bright light because I am deeply loved by you and because you chose me. No other reason.
Prayers: JT, Robinson family, O'Bannon family, Sgt. Kenny, Our Nation, Israel, Syria, Haiti, Ukraine, Sudan, India, China, and many, many prayers for healing. Father, there are members in our church recovering from surgeries and various illnesses, there are Christians being persecuted around the world and there are souls wondering through life without a Savior. My Lord, please have your hand in this, please heal, save, rescue and redeem as only you can.
PRAISE REPORT: The tomb is empty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eternally yours
