You all are an awesome group

I'm just popping in this morning to let you know that I am leaving in a few hours to drive to Indiana (18 hours 1 way) to go to my daughters graduation... so I won't be back to CF till late Sun night or Mon.

I'll see you lovely people when I return... God Bless

Praising Him,

Gina

Dear Gina,

How exciting for you to attend such an important occasion. You'll be in my prayers for travel mercies, and for joy unspeakable as you shed the love of God to all you encounter! And I pray for your daughter as she moves into another season in her life. Isn't this just an exciting time for both of you?

You all are an awesome group

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope.

For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

1 Corinthians 1:4-9 (KJV) 4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

May we remember today that we are called unto fellowship with Jesus Christ. For that is what discipleship is all about: knowing Christ, loving Christ, abiding in Him. May we not get caught up in the movement of Christianity, doing things for Christ, and forget to sit at His feet.

Of course we want to and we ought to serve God, but we must learn to first minister to Jesus Christ as His disciple before we can minister to others.

Help us today, dear God, to spent time with Jesus, to sit with Him, to speak with Him, to listen to Him, and to learn to value the time we spend with Him as much as He does.

Growing in love and in Christ,

Lord help us to grow in you
And to know that you are in charge
Of everything and everybody
Forgive us for taking you for granted
In thy name and will amen

 

[EarthMomma]

Amen! I join in agreement with you.

Lord help us to grow in you
And to know that you are in charge
Of everything and everybody
Forgive us for taking you for granted
In thy name and will amen

And further, I pray that today you help us to be faithful, dear Jesus, for you've always been faithful to us!

Help us to keep our hand on the plow and never look back. For we know you will give us the strength and the wisdom to serve if we plow as you lead.

I shall praise you all this day!

Luke 9:62 (NIV) "'No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.'"

 

[Savedsis]

Amen! I join in agreement with you.

We have nothing to lose and everything to gain as we surrender our hearts to Jesus.

Matthew 10:39 (KJV) He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

We really have nothing that God needs but our hearts. He is omnipotent and omnipresent, all wisdom, the beginning and the end, and if we go to Him with anything but our hearts, it's a shame.

If we live without giving God our hearts, we are living in ignorance. If we teach without giving God our hearts, we are teaching in ignorance. If we breathe without giving God our hearts, we are breathing in ignorance and futility.

May we consider today what is keeping us from totally surrendering our hearts to Jesus, as we ponder His love and His Word.

Luke 9:23-27 (KJV) 23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

Help us, dear Jesus! Guide our hearts and increase our faith so we can totally surrender to you today.

I SURRENDER ALL!​

All to Jesus, I surrender;
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.​

Refrain
I surrender all, I surrender all,
All to Thee, my blessèd Savior,
I surrender all.​

All to Jesus I surrender;
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken;
Take me, Jesus, take me now.​

Refrain
I surrender all, I surrender all,
All to Thee, my blessèd Savior,
I surrender all.​

All to Jesus, I surrender;
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.​

Refrain
I surrender all, I surrender all,
All to Thee, my blessèd Savior,
I surrender all.​

All to Jesus, I surrender;
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power;
Let Thy blessing fall on me.​

Refrain
I surrender all, I surrender all,
All to Thee, my blessèd Savior,
I surrender all.​

All to Jesus I surrender;
Now I feel the sacred flame.
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory, to His Name!​

Refrain
I surrender all, I surrender all,
All to Thee, my blessèd Savior,
I surrender all.
