GOD CREATED AND HE FORGIVES



Good morning to you from South Florida!
I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus, 1 Corinthians 1:4  There is a chance of rain today. But not that much, so I plan to go to the beach at least for a little while. I do know that you can still get sun even when it is cloudy, sometimes even more sun. I will give it a try. Also when God created the earth, He made it that way when the sun is farther away in the winter and closer in the summer. Amazing how God made these things as well as the tides and waves and ocean and the sea creatures. Everything works so perfectly in His creation. Only the God of the universe could have created these things in six days and spoke them into being.   I know that everything on earth isn't perfect but it was created that way. And I know that God was grieved at the first sin but He forgave and loved Adam and Eve and us anyway. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 
Ephesians 1:7

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.  
Ephesians 2:8-9

There are many more verses but I will stop now. Just know that whatever you have done or haven't done for God, He forgives you. He loves you unconditionally. All we have to do is ask Him to forgive us and to give us the grace and help to follow Him according to His will. He created us and has a plan for our lives, to love Him, follow Him in obedience and service, worship and praise Him, and be Christ-like.

We can do it. Shall we do our best to try?

Love and blessings,

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work

KNOW HIM

I took this picture yesterday. It was amazing!   Good morning to you on  this blessed and chilly day! May God fill you with His love and His Spirit. He is awesome! He is miraculous! He is the great I AM! He is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last! He is our Lord of lords and King of kings. He is my Savior! Is He yours? Jesus is coming back soon. Do you know Him? I am going to share this video with you again. I shared it once before and it is amazing. We can never hear it enough. And if you don't know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, listen very carefully. That's My King Dr. S.M. Lockridge This video says it all! If you don't know Him, get to know Him. Read God's Word. Fellowship with other believers in church and out of church. Talk to Him in prayer.  Now I am not saying that believers are perfect but far from it. We are all on a journey to know Him better. Churches are not a hotel for saints, but a hospital

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I
