I do all this for you!

Dear One,

You know I am faithful and will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.  Have faith in Me, put your trust in Me and try not to worry about the future.  I will encourage you day by day through My word because I love you.  Through Me you can experience eternal encouragement and good hope.  Let Me strengthen your heart for every good deed and word.  I see your faith growing more and more every day, I see your love increasing.  I have cause to boast about your perseverance and faith in the trials you are enduring.

When you belong to Me you are counted worthy of the kingdom of God.  Know this: I constantly pray for you, that you may be counted worthy of your glorious calling.  By My power you will be able to fulfill every good purpose of yours and every deed that is prompted by your faith.  Others are watching and I know they see Me in you according to this grace that is given to you through My loving sacrifice. One day when all deeds and thoughts are revealed your faithfulness will glorify Me and the Father.

2Thessalonians 3:3 ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 ~ 2 Thessalonians 1:5, 11-12

I thank you Lord for your faithfulness to me; you are always available to encourage me and give me strength.  Help me rely on your power to do the things you have called me to do.  I want others to see you in me.  Help me be faithful!  Amen.

Who Am I?

I am He; I am the first and I am the last.  My coming was told of ages ago but those who heard did not listen.  My own hand laid the foundations of the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens.

Listen to what I say, “I am the Lord your God, who can teach you what is best for you; I am willing to direct you in the way you should go.  When you pay attention to Me your peace will be like a river; your righteousness like the waves of the sea. If an angel appeared to you and spoke to you would you not listen?  I am greater than all the angels, God has testified to it by signs, by wonders and miracles; by gifts of the Holy Spirit given to you by His will. Let Me care for you, let Me lead you, let Me guide you.  I promise if you come into My presence I will bless you.  Love, Jesus

Isaiah 48:12-13 ~ Isaiah 48:16-19 ~ Hebrews 2:1-4

I want to be in your presence Lord, help me to be deliberate in setting time aside to come to you.  Life seems so busy and full of good things, demanding things, busy making things. But you are the priority, help me set you as the priority, give me the self-control to set aside time each day to praise you and seek your guidance for then I will have peace like a river!.  Amen.
