Sweet Reader

"I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me because of their testimony. My prayer for all of them is that they will be one, just as you and I are one, Father-that just as you are in me and I am in you, so they will be in us, and the world will believe you sent me." John 17:20-21

My heart overflows for you sweet reader. I am thankful to be in this fellowship and friendship with you.

My prayers for you are daily. No matter who you are, where you are, you are loved, adored. You are a precious part of this community of Christ.

May we strengthen one another in love. May we encourage one another with the sweetness of God's Word.

May we knit together a tight thread that intertwines the Body of Christ.

May we cover one another in prayer.

Together, may we always be better for the Lord than not.

May we join together with one voice and offer the loudest of praises to Him, the One and Only. Our Savior, Redeemer, Healer, Grace-giver.

Let's pull the best out of each other, and spur one another on to continue the race for which He has called us to.

Together, may we come humbly before His throne with hearts of awe and respect and lift up all those who are lost.

Sweet reader, together we are a brighter light for Him then we are individually. Let's be the brightest light, upon the hill that this world has ever seen.

Jesus clothe us in the righteousness of Your Word and truth. Continue to thread us together with Your strongest adhesive-Your blood.  Help us to become a Body that pleases You. A Body that works as One. Amen

No Substitutes-Open the Word!

Today, rather than reading this devotional, read God's Word.

Spend time listening to Him, to His voice.

Then sit and pray. Visit with the Almighty God. 

There is no word greater than God's Word. Nor does any human opinion compare.

Don't substitute devotionals, sermons, or Bible Studies for God's Word and the time you should be spending in it.

God wants you to come and meet with Him.

Let His truth, love and mercy fall afresh upon you today as You read and spend time with Him.
