Love language

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth....... 

- 1 John 3:18 -

Thoughts on This Verse... ''Talk is cheap.''''Actions speak louder than words.'' Let's show our love for our family, our friends, and brothers and sisters in Christ by the way we live and what we do for each other.
 

**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**

Signed, Sealed, Delivered, Im Yours!

The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.......

- Psalm 34:7 -

 Thoughts on This Verse... I don't see him, but I know he's there! The same angel of the Lord who destroyed Israel's enemies is now fighting to win the spiritual battle that rages around you and me. 

**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**

Glorify, Magnify

After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:''Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.''...... 

- John 17:1 -

Thoughts on This Verse... John 17 is one of the most moving chapters in all the Bible. Jesus knows he is going to die. He knows he is spending his last few hours before his death with disciples who do not understand what he is about to do and why he is about to do it. Jesus has two key goals in mind as he prepares himself, and his disciples, for their life ahead without him. He wants them to be one so they can remain strong and influence the world for God. He wants what he does to bring glory to the Father. While he faces humiliation and abandonment, his desire is to bless others. We are going to face hardship. What will be our goal? Hmm, no wonder we are reminded to fix our eyes on Jesus and follow his example. 

**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**

No faults, just great joy

To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy -- to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen....... 

- Jude 24-25 -

Thoughts on This Verse... Two things I trust implicitly: 1) God's power and might, and 2) my joy at getting to share in his presence. My best efforts will always fall short, but God's grace is greater and more glorious than my best efforts! The faultlessness that I have when I stand before him is based on his grace and mercy. How can I not praise him from a thankful heart and anticipate seeing him face to face in glory? 

**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**

Judgement calls

My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight; they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck....... 

- Proverbs 3:21-22 -

Thoughts on This Verse... God used his wisdom to create the cosmos and all that is in it. Through his discernment, he appointed to each being and to each item its place in his dazzling display of diversity. He has chosen to share that wisdom and discernment with those who reverence him and search for his wisdom. If we will use that wisdom and discernment we will possess the greatest of all jewels and a blessing that will enrich our life. 

**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**

Light of the world, Salt of the earth

''You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.''...... 

-  Matthew 5:14 -

Thoughts on This Verse... Darkness dominates our world. Despite appearances, darkness controls much of what is said and how it is viewed by the world. When people live for Christ, they will be noticed. Their allegiance to Jesus and his righteousness cannot be ignored. So what are we going to do with that light? Are others going to see and be drawn to our Father in Heaven who sent his Son as Savior? Or, are they going to reject the way of Christ because our walk is all talk and not much service? Let's let them see God's grace through our lives so they will come to know the Savior!

  
**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**

Abba Father

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, ''Abba, Father.''...... 

- Romans 8:15 -

Thoughts on This Verse... How revolutionary. Just as Jesus prayed to God addressing him as''Abba Father,'' we too can speak so frankly and openly with God.''Ab-ba'' are some of the earliest syllables babies spoke. The word''Abba'' was used by very young children to speak intimately, respectfully, and openly with their earthly fathers. The Holy Spirit gives us that same privilege as God's children. We can call the Creator of the universe, the Great God of Israel, the Father of all peoples, the Almighty of eternity, Abba! Incredible.
