Dear
Folks, I just finished putting a lesson / message together for tomorrow night.
My heart is heavy and burdened for He that gave me life. I realized tonight
while studying, and penning my heart that He loves me - in spite of myself...
I
know the ugly man that I am, continually falling short of the mark, yet He
loves me. He literally took a beating
for me, and then He spread His arms to show the breadth and depth of His love
and commitment to me.
Praise
God, the story didn’t stop there, for He met death at Hells gate, and returned
to meet and greet His loved ones. Then,
as the first fruits of those that follow in His name, He ascended into the
Heavens to be seated at the Right Hand of God.
He
became, my High Priest, interceding for me and on my behalf to the Father. His work on the cross allows me to stand in
the throne room in spirit while wrapped in His righteousness. Through His justification, by His shed blood,
my spiritual voice is heard on High to the ears of The Most High.
He
has imparted to me, His Love, His Joy, His Peace, His Longsuffering, His
Gentleness, His Goodness, His Faith, His Meekness and His Temperance. None of these wonderful things are created or
sustainable from my own heart, but that too, He has shared with me. For He has shared His Heart through the
indwelling Spirit of The Holy, Righteous, Just and Loving God and His Gift
through the Sacrifice of His Son.
Dear
Father, it is with Your Love and Joy that I share this smile while basking in
the Peace of the knowledge of Salvation as You allowed me to hear it. A smile for You Father, and for that dear
soul that You sent to share the Good News with me. May You give me the strength and desire to
share that same word of Good News with those you place on my path. In all things I do on this earth and in this
life that You have given me, bring You Joy, through my desire to Honor and
Praise You, in Christ’s name I pray, Amen…
