A LOVE LETTER FROM GOD

My dearest Child,

I was just thinking about you!

And had a few things I wanted to tell you...

I am your Shepherd.

I will feed you, and hold you close to My heart.

I will carry you in My arms.

I see your troubles.

But, have you not heard?

Have you never understood?

I am the Everlasting Father, the Creator of all the Earth.

I never grow weak.

I never grow weary.

No one can measure the depths of my understanding!

I give power to the weak.

Trust in Me, and you will find new strength.

You will soar high on wings like eagles.

You will run and not grow weary.

You will walk and not faint.

I have called you, saying - "You are My servant."

I will not throw you away!

Don't be afraid, I am with you!

Don't be discouraged, for I am your God!

I will strengthen you.

I will help you.

I will uphold you with My victorious right hand.

Those who attack you will come to nothing.

For I am holding your hand - I, the LORD your God!

And I am saying to you, "Don't be afraid!"

I am here to help you.

I will pay attention to your prayers.

I will never withdraw My unfailing love.

Your life is in My hands.

I will bring you to a place of great abundance.

I will flood your heart with light.

I will give you confident hope.

I am far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else.

My Word stands forever!

I am coming!

You will say, "Who has done such mighty deeds?"

It is I, the LORD, the First and the Last...

I alone am He!

Even before I made the world I chose you...

And I love you!

Forever yours...the One who was, and is, and is to come,

Abba

(Taken from Isaiah 40 & 41, Psalm 66, and Ephesians 1)

Beautiful.
The truth of His Words are such a comfort! Truly they restore my soul. :)

Thank you for YOUR honesty with me. I sent you an e-mail back via your comment not realizing that there was not a link to your e-mail! I am so sorry! I was just sending you the prayer I put on my blog comments and thanking you for your comment. And sending you hugs and prayers.

Did you write this? Wow, Sharon!! I just love your gift for putting the Word into new words.

My favorite line/verse:

"I have called you, saying - You are My servant.
I will not throw you away!"

From one who struggles against feeling like the throwaway child, I really love this. I'm going to find the corresponding verse(s) of inspiration.

Don't tell me... I will enjoy the hunt.
I loved this!

Kimberly - Thank you so much! Your prayer was very touching, it really spoke to me. The last week I have been reading my Bible, LISTENING to the words as if it was a letter from God (because after all, it really IS). It's been such a comfort, hearing Him speak every day to my heart. Thinking of you, and sending xoxo's to you, too!

MTJ - It's a GOOD thing to get God in your inbox, isn't it?! Really enjoyed your post today - very thought-provoking. Thanks for your insights - you encourage and uplift me, too!

Shellie - THANK YOU! I will head on over to your blog...God bless you!

Denise - I'm glad that you were encouraged! (Isaiah is so full of verses that are fortifying, comforting, and affirming...I'm happy to share His Word!)

Debbie - OK, I'm not going to ruin the "surprise" - just a hint...I used the New Living Translation. I struggle with those "throwaway" issues, too. But, God is so good...HE SPEAKS. I'm just trying to listen better, and trust what He says about me...that He really and TRULY loves me! That He has chosen me, and called me...(and He feels that way about you, too, my friend!)

Sandra - Thank you. I, too, am SO GLAD that He listens! I will head over to your post, and read your stories...I know that I will be encouraged AND inspired!

Betty - I'm really glad you enjoyed this. I have really enjoyed reading Scripture the last few days in this personalized manner. God wants to talk to us - His Word is alive! Like you said, HE IS GREAT, and He is FOR us! A miracle of grace!!

GOD BLESS, everyone!!

MY WORD FOR 2016

GRATEFUL

Grateful: feeling or showing thanks to someone for some helpful act; appreciative of benefits received; warmly or deeply thankful; indebted; beholden.

Word origin: 1550's, "pleasing to the mind," also "full of gratitude," from obsolete adj. grate "agreeable, thankful," from Latin gratus "pleasing" – derived from the same word origin as the word "grace."

The trick to changing your behavior is to become more thankful.

The practice of gratitude involves a focus on the present moment, on appreciating your life as it is today and what has made it so.

Let us begin an eternal quest to express in new and creative ways our thanks to God.

So I'm breathing in Your grace,

And I'm breathing out Your praise.

Let our prayers be the overflow of a grateful heart to God.

Three steps in prayer:

PRAISE – praise, reverence, worship, adoration, and awe for who God is and what He does

ASK – honest, earnest, and intense requests

THANK YOU – always end with thanksgiving for everything

Pulpit commentary:

In everything give thanks.

In every circumstance – in joy and in sorrow; for everything – for prosperity and for adversity; in every place – in the house of God and on the bed of sickness.

Christians should not only be engaged in constant prayer, but in constant thanksgiving.

For this – this thankful spirit – is the will of God, His desire.

God by the gift of his Son has laid us under the obligation of perpetual thanksgiving. Our whole lives ought to be one continued thank-offering for all the blessings of redemption.

Gill's Exposition:

Thanks are to be given to him for all things…

For all temporal good things;

for our beings, the preservation of them;

for food and raiment, and all the mercies of life;

for the means of grace, the word and ordinances, and the ministers of the Gospel;

for spiritual blessings, for electing, redeeming, regenerating, adopting, pardoning, justifying, and persevering grace:

for a meetness for heaven, a right unto it, and a good hope of it;

and especially for Jesus Christ, for such a…Saviour, and advocate with the Father, as he is; and for life, peace, joy, comfort, righteousness, and salvation in him.

Thanks should be given to God in every circumstance of life; in adversity, as Job did; when not in so comfortable and agreeable a frame of soul as to be wished for…even under the temptations of Satan…since the grace of God is sufficient to bear up under them, and deliver out of them.

[Give thanks] in afflictions of every kind, since they are all for good – temporal, or spiritual, or eternal.

WHAT IS LOVE?

Love is when you are missing some of your teeth but you're not afraid to smile because you know your friends will still love you even though some of you is missing.

By Emma K. - Age 6

"Out of the mouth of babes..."

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

Anonymous

When you are uncertain, it helps to have someone remind you what is true – someone who knows you well, who sees you, and keeps track of you – not just your body but your soul.
