Jesus, Son of God
If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. (1 John 4:15-16)

Forever Amazed
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!
God Knows My Name
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so far is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. (Psalm 103:11-12)
I have had a wonderful opportunity to step up as a teacher over a 4th grade class room at my church. I have to say that I have the greatest group of 4th graders you will ever meet. Their hearts are tender, their ready to learn, they are kind, and they love Jesus. I have enjoyed being their teacher so much! Just two weeks ago, God showed me something very valuable during my time with them. In fact, it had only been my third time teaching the class. The first two times I taught, I had everyone go around and introduce themselves. I was really trying hard to make sure I remembered each name, as different children showed up both times.
Well, this last time that I taught… the kids saw it was me and said “Your not going to make us go around and say our names again, are you?” I said no, I think I got it down now. So they proceeded to cover their name tags and quiz me. Each one calling out, “Do you know my name?” Fortunately, the Holy Spirit brought each name back to my memory. Oh how each child lit up as I told them what their name was. It was as if they were saying, “She knows me, I’m someone special, she knows my name.” It was a beautiful moment to be a part of.
