Forever Amazed

/0 Comments/in /by

The love of God that we have come to experience did not get it’s start on Calvary’s hill.  It began when the earth was dark.  When nothing existed!  God’s love was there in the midst of that darkness.  He took time to form the earth, set the stars in place, give light to the day, and give breath to man.  He spoke the world in to existence.  There in that moment when nothing existed, you were on God’s mind.  He was thinking about you.  He was loving you!

“For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight…

He chose you!  He chose me.  He set us aside.  Oh that just amazes me.  God loved me!  He loves me still!  He loves you more than you can comprehend!

The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, ‘Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!’ (Matthew 21:9)

Humble Mindset

Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:]…

Oh, that I might follow the example of Christ.  Lord, I desire to have this attitude that I see You had as You took Your journey towards the cross.  Please show me where my attitude and purpose is not pleasing in Your sight  And help me align myself to this humble mindset!

Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained,

Lord, no matter how many times I read this passage… it still blows me away.  Thank You for humbly taking my place.

Worry Free in Jesus

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat;  or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today,and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and you Father knows that you need them. (Luke 12:22-30) Read more

And God purposed that through (by the service, the intervention of) Him [the Son] all things should be completely reconciled back to Himself, whether on earth or in heaven, as through Him, [the Father] made peace by means of the blood of His cross. Colossians 1:20 (AMP)
