"Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
“Faithful is He who calls you, AND He also will bring it to pass.” I Thessalonians 5:16-24
“This is a fundamental principle of Christian living. God was not just ACTIVE in the Cross, so that we look back only with gratitude for what He has done. He IS not now waiting just to receive us into heaven. His PURPOSE is to become ACTIVE in the present tense of your experience, in EVERY area of your life.”*
Who would have thought He would work His plan for His world through those He died to save, so that none would be lost! He is THE great and compassionate One who loves us with a love so amazing and deep, there is no way to realise it!
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
