SOME MEN MEASURE THEIR STRENGTH BY HOW MUCH PAIN THEY CAN ENDURE, OR HOW MUCH WEIGHT THEY CAN LIFT. I MEASURE MY STRENGTH BY HOW MUCH SPIRIT I CAN INTAKE. THE SPIRIT MAKES ME STRONG!

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!

SOME MEN MEASURE THEIR STRENGTH BY HOW MUCH PAIN THEY CAN ENDURE, OR HOW MUCH WEIGHT THEY CAN LIFT. I MEASURE MY STRENGTH BY HOW MUCH SPIRIT I CAN INTAKE. THE SPIRIT MAKES ME STRONG!

"I PRAY THAT OUT OF GOD'S GLORIOUS RICHES GOD MAY STRENGTHEN YOU WITH POWER THROUGH GOD'S SPIRIT IN YOUR INNER BEING, SO THAT CHRIST MAY DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS THROUGH FAITH. AND I PRAY THAT YOU, BEING ROOTED AND ESTABLISHED IN LOVE, MAY HAVE POWER, TOGETHER WITH ALL THE SAINTS, TO GRASP HOW WIDE AND LONG AND HIGH AND DEEP IS THE LOVE OF CHRIST, AND TO KNOW THIS LOVE THAT SURPASSES KNOWLEDGE - THAT YOU MAY BE FILLED TO THE MEASURE OF ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD.
NOW TO GOD WHO IS ABLE TO DO IMMEASURABLY MORE THAN ALL WE ASK OR IMAGINE, ACCORDING TO GOD'S POWER THAT IS AT WORK WITHIN US,TO GOD BE GLORY IN THE CHURCH AND IN CHRIST JESUS THROUGHOUT ALL GENERATIONS, FOR EVER AND EVER! AMEN." (Eph.3:16-21)

"FOR IT IS GOD WHO WORKS IN YOU TO WILL AND TO ACT ACCORDING TO GOD'S GOOD PURPOSE." (Phil.2:13)

"AND WE PRAY THIS IN ORDER THAT YOU MAY LIVE A LIFE WORTHY OF THE LORD AND MAY PLEASE THE LORD IN EVERY WAY: BEARING FRUIT IN EVERY GOOD WORK, GROWING IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, BEING STRENGTHENED WITH ALL POWER ACCORDING TO GOD'S GLORIOUS MIGHT SO THAT YOU MAY HAVE GREAT ENDURANCE AND PATIENCE, AND JOYFULLY GIVING THANKS TO THE FATHER, WHO HAS QUALIFIED YOU TO SHARE IN THE INHERITANCE OF THE SAINTS IN THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT. FOR GOD HAS RESCUED US FROM THE DOMINION OF DARKNESS AND BROUGHT US INTO THE KINGDOM OF THE SON GOD LOVES, IN CHRIST WE HAVE REDEMPTION, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS." (Col.1:10-14)

GOD, ALL I HAVE IS YOURS, AND ALL YOU HAVE IS MINE.
(John 17:10)

"SO THEN, JUST AS YOU RECEIVED CHRIST JESUS AS LORD, CONTINUE TO LIVE IN CHRIST, ROOTED AND BUILT UP IN CHRIST, STRENGTHENED IN THE FAITH AS YOU WERE TAUGHT, AND OVERFLOWING WITH THANKFULNESS." (Col.2:6-7)

AS I INTAKE THESE SPIRITUAL WORDS "MY GOD" STRENGTHENS ME WITH FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THESE WORDS, SO THAT I CAN SAY THIS WITH ALL CONFIDENCE:

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!
