Living in Love with Amazing Grace...

The Lord your God is testing you, to know whether you indeed love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul. Deuteronomy 13:3

God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

Knower of our weaknesses, there is trouble everywhere. Even our hours of pleasure are commingled with hardships and threats of despair. With much thanks for your grace, we rest forever loved and blessed in your ever-presence every day. Amen.

I have been so flooded with wonderful blessings lately... but as this prayer shares truthfully... in this life we are so susceptible to hardships and threats of despair thanks to the wiles of the devil in this world. I am so incredibly thankful for the grace and love of our EVER-PRESENT God... Especially as he revealed himself through Jesus, our Savior... who gave us his "paraclete" - the Holy Spirit, to live within us... to strengthen, encourage, comfort, lovingly guide us to know him more and glorify God - making him known to all the world!!!!

Oh dear... God, please give me the grace and discipline to make it a priority to share more of the blessed thoughts you've filled me head with for the building up of your Body, my brothers and sisters in the family you have magnificently created... and are continuously shaping to join you in your redemptive plans for this broken world..

I love you, Lord... and I lift my voice... to honor you, oh my soul, rejoice! Take JOY my King, in what you hear... and may it be a sweet, sweet sound.. in your ear.
