Amazing But True!


“’For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.’” John 3:16

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (full and perfect payment) for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” I John 4:10-11

I interrupt this series to share that yesterday I received an email from a man who came to receive the WeakDay Devotion (WDD) in a most amazing way. If you don’t tell me you’re changing email addresses or move or no longer want to receive them, I keep sending them. I never know of course. In this case, he took a new job and started cleaning up the previous person’s email box. He found a folder called “devotions”. He was a new Christian and opened the file to find these little messages and wrote to me to tell me. It was thrilling enough for me...hearing how God used these messages in a ways I hadn’t expected. A while later this same person wrote to share that he had met someone and they would be married – it was another person on the WDD list! They had a child and now ten years later, he wrote to thank me again for this ministry and I sat and cried, so humbled, and thanked God He continues to give me His strength and creativity to just write these for Him each day. Thank you Kevin.

“’Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’” Matthew 28:19-20

Know His Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene

PS: New Prayer Request: Australians recovering from natural disasters of fires and floods, and emergency and support workers still labouring. Ongoing prayer requests: Marilu –pregnant in hospital, must lay still, on her side for months to save her unborn. God’s hands on new USA political administration. Barb and Gary to find new, satisfying jobs; wisdom for doctors caring for Doris, Michael, David and Adrian. Randy’s family moving to Canada. New work projects for me. Praise: Lyle’s brother (healing well) and girlfriend (who’s stayed with him throughout entire ordeal).
