 Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our LORD has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory. We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because He has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love.  When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.  Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good.  But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.  And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, He will certainly save us from God’s condemnation.  For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of His Son while we were still His enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of His Son.  So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.

Good Morning Beloved,

I feel great today!  I have a sense of excitement and expectation.  First of all, today is my birthday (Yea!!!) and I’m grateful to be alive.  I’m grateful for my mother, Elnora, my daughter Jah, my fabulous friends, church family, and the whole Regal One crew.  I know that I am blessed.  I do not take anything for granted.  Life is a precious gift.  It is even more precious because I have ‘double life’.  I am physically alive and well, and I am a born-again believer, purchased with the blood of the Lamb of God, sealed, filled, and anointed with the Holy Spirit of God, watched over by the Father, guarded by the Angels….. BLESSED!  Life can be rocky, unpredictable, even scary.  During those times words like “trust in the Lord“, and “the joy of the Lord is our strength“, and “Beloved I would above all things that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers“…. rise up in our hearts and give us the strength to know that a better day is coming.

That dearly Beloved is Good News!

U Blessed

Have A Fabulous Day!

Regina

Tadpole -Matthew 18:3 99 of 99   Maybe it has been a while since you’ve experienced the goodness and grace of God, maybe not since childhood. It is never too late to jump back in to God’s love and mercy. October 26, 2008
