“’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
“As a result, we are no longer
to be children, tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind
of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but
speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him, who is
the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together
by that which every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each
individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in
love.”
Ephesians 4:14-16
“Part
of the work of the Holy Spirit therefore, is to create in us a hunger to be
like Jesus Christ, so that the qualities that made the life of Christ so
attractive and pleasing to God, will increasingly be exhibited in our lives.”*
“And my God shall supply all
your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
When
you are hungry, He promises He will supply all your needs...this means to
understanding when there is confusion, just enough when there seems nothing
left, more than you can imagine when you seem at the end of the rope or in free
fall...HE SHALL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEEDS ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY IN
CHRIST JESUS! Amen and amen...what a way
to end the week!
Take
care with love, especially His! Your
servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
