THIS DAY FORWARD GOD, YOU ARE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO ME IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU GOD; MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.
GOD IT IS YOUR VOICE I HEAR WHEN I SPEAK YOUR WORDS, GOD YOUR VOICE IS DOING FOR ME WHAT I CANNOT DO FOR MYSELF. IT IS THE SPIRIT IN YOUR VOICE THAT GIVES ME THE STRENGTH TO OBEY YOUR COMMANDS AND TEACHINGS. GOD I LOVE YOU!
"MY SON, KEEP MY WORDS AND STORE UP MY COMMANDS WITHIN YOU." (Prov.7:1)
"MY SON, KEEP YOUR FATHER'S COMMANDS AND DO NOT FORSAKE YOUR MOTHER'S TEACHINGS. BIND THEM UPON YOUR HEART FOREVER; FASTEN THEM AROUND YOUR NECK. WHEN YOU WALK, THEY WILL GUIDE YOU; WHEN YOU SLEEP, THEY WILL WATCH OVER YOU; WHEN YOU AWAKE, THEY WILL SPEAK TO YOU.
FOR THESE COMMANDS ARE A LAMP, THIS TEACHING IS A LIGHT, AND THE CORRECTIONS OF DISCIPLINE ARE A WAY TO LIFE." (Prov.6:20-23)
FOR THESE COMMANDS ARE A LAMP, THIS TEACHING IS A LIGHT, AND THE CORRECTIONS OF DISCIPLINE ARE A WAY TO LIFE." (Prov.6:20-23)
I JUST RETURN FROM VISITING MY PARENTS AND THESE WORDS RING EVER SO TRUE. ONE OF MOMS FAVORITE SAYING: "GOD DON'T LIKE UGLY" AND DADS SAYING "IF IT IS NOT YOURS, DON'T PUT YOUR HANDS ON IT." THESE SAYING WERE TOLD TO ME IN MY YOUTH AND THEY STILL APPLY TODAY. MY DAD IS 91, AND MY MOM IS 89, AND WHEN I GO HOME I AM STILL 12, AND I BETTER LISTEN LIKE I AM TWELVE. FOR WHETHER IT IS MOM OR DAD OR GOD - THE CORRECTIONS OF DISCIPLINE ARE A WAY TO LIFE FOR ME.
GOD I LOVE YOU, BECAUSE I OBEY WHAT YOUR WORD SAYS, BY DOING WHAT YOUR WORD SAYS. GOD YOUR WORD SAYS TO LOVE MY NEIGHBOR AS MY SELF, SO GOD I PRAY FOR MY NEIGHBOR THE SAME AS FOR MYSELF.
PRAYER MUST BE PRACTICE AND PRAYER MUST BE TAUGHT - THROUGH WORDS. I MUST BE PRESENT IN PRAYER.WHEN I SAY "ABBA" FATHER, I AM SAYING GOD IS MY "DADDY". AND I RELY ON MY DADDY FOR EVERYTHING TODAY! AMEN.
I AM THEREFORE CHRIST'S AMBASSADORS, AS THOUGH GOD WERE MAKING GOD'S APPEAL THROUGH ME. I IMPLORE YOU ON CHRIST'S BEHALF: BE RECONCILED TO GOD. GOD MADE CHRIST WHO HAD NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, SO THAT IN CHRIST WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. (2 Cor.5:20-21)
"MY PURPOSE IS THAT YOU MAY BE ENCOURAGED IN HEART AND UNITED IN LOVE, SO THAT YOU MAY HAVE THE FULL RICHES OF COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING, IN ORDER THAT YOU MAY KNOW THE MYSTERY OF GOD, NAMELY, CHRIST, IN WHOM ARE HIDDEN ALL THE TREASURE OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE." (Col.2:2-3)
GOD IS THE CREATOR AND SUSTAINER OF THE UNIVERSE AND I THANK GOD FOR BEING MY GOD, FOR WHO GOD IS AND THE PLAN GOD PROVIDES FOR ME!
MAY THE GOD OF PEACE, WHO THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE ETERNAL COVENANT BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THAT GREAT SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP, EQUIP ME WITH EVERYTHING GOOD FOR DOING GOD'S WILL, AND MAY GOD WORK IN ME WHAT IS PLEASING TO GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, TO WHOM BE GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER." AMEN! (Heb.13:20-21)
I HAVE FOLLOWED JESUS TO GOD THE FATHER WHO NOW TEACHES ME HOW TO LIVE LIKE JESUS, HOW TO BE A SON LIKE JESUS,HOW TO LOVE LIKE JESUS. WITH GOD AS MY TEACHER I HAVE NO DOUBT I WILL GET IT RIGHT.
"CHRIST IS THE PATTERN FOR MY LIFE, AND GOD IS TRANSFORMING ME TO THE PATTERN. SO I SAY THANKS BE TO GOD." AMEN!
