Adopted Child of God

November 15
Adopted Child of God. Ephesians 1:5 (TLB) 5 "His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by sending Jesus Christ to die for us. And he did this because he wanted to!" It is so exciting knowing that I am so important to God that He made plans a very long time ago to adopt me into His family. I know the Lord Jesus Christ had to die for me. I now have the opportunity of being God's child. If the Lord Jesus didn't die on the cross for me, my life would not be worth living. Have you considered what has taken place? God has called us. We are His children, and He is our friend. We are the righteousness of God in Christ, He bought us with a high price, we are holy, and God has adopted us. Can you imagine what life would be if we did not know the Lord? My life would be an enormous big mess. I am so grateful that God gave me a second chance and third and fourth and so many chances, to keep on returning to God. His mercy is new every day. Praise be to the LORD God, who is, who will come. Today I am sitting here and I turn to God and this is my heart "Lord, everything I need to succeed in life I have in You!" Prayer Heavenly Father, thank You, Lord! We have so much to be grateful for. The fact that You have adopted each one of us as Your children bring great joy into our hearts today. We are growing and becoming strong in the spirit filled with wisdom, and the grace of God is upon each of us. Lord, thank You, for pouring the blessings over each of us today. We are ready for anything and everything. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
