A Real Shot of Espresso

/1 Comment/in /by

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! (1 John 3:1)

Who needs espresso when you have the love of God pouring into your life every day?  Every day I have my 2 cups of coffee in the morning.  I know some people can’t bare to go anywhere until they have had their coffee.  Some people need their energy drink. Last night I was reminded that True energy doesn’t come in a can, it can’t be bottled, or brewed in a pot.  True energy comes from God.  He is the One who wakes us up every morning with fresh air to breathe, a reason to live, and hope to survive on.

Because I Said So

/0 Comments/in /by

Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

I say to myself, ‘The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.’ The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.” (Lamentations 3:22-26)

Time to take a break from Psalm 119.  The website I have been talking about will be going live today and I want to talk about God’s faithfulness.  I will return to Psalm 119 when the Lord leads me to.  For now, please enjoy the many different passages of scripture that God wants us to explore together.

God is Greater

…Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. ~1 John 4:4 (KJV)

I’m taking just a small break from the Psalm 119 series to share with you something that happened to me today.  When I got online to prepare my devotional for the day, I was greeted with an email that shared with me…my facebook account had been hacked into.  For those of you who don’t know what facebook is, just imagine you have a journal open to all your friends with pictures, comments, journal entries, etc.  Well, on this particular day, my facebook page had been hijacked.  My identity in cyber space had been stolen.  Someone was acting as if they were me and sending out very disgraceful messages and pictures on my behalf.  It was a huge spiritual attack.  The pictures were hideous and the words written were enough to make you cringe.  I tried desperately to get into my account, but my password had been changed, as well as my email and picture for my profile.  It was a mess!

GOD IS LOVE

/2 Comments/in /by

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.  Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.  Whoever does not love does not know God, because GOD IS LOVE.

This is how God showed his love among us:  He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.  This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sin.  Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.  No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. (1 John 4:7-12)
