Count Your Blessings. Anonymous

Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, who is the only Source of hope and the only Giver of joy. In Him we trust—no one else (Hebrews 12:1, 2).

When a man has a real, heart-transforming experience with Jesus Christ, he will clearly see himself as he is—and he won't like who he is (I John 3:2). And he will desire to be transformed by the renewing of his mind and heart into a clearer reflection of the Lord's kindness and love rather than maintain the status quo of his own self-righteousness and his own modicum of kindness (Romans 12:2).

That emergence from his cocoon of self into the beauty of the transformed man the Lord desires him to become will cause a man to become a reflection of Jesus, and in shining His light, the man who loves Him will be a true emissary of the Holy One. He will combine the scholarship in the Word employed by the Presbyterians with fervor in the HOLY SPIRIT of the Pentecostals that will enable his life to be a page from the Book of Acts.

Keep seeking Jesus. Keep trusting Jesus. Keep loving Jesus. Keep drinking in His WORD. Keep flowing in His SPIRIT. Keep EXPECTING to hear Him speak and keep expecting to feel His love, for He will not disappoint you (Hebrews 13:5).

You are more dearly loved than words can say by your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who is the Lover of your soul and the Guardian of your life and the Perfector of all that touches you. He is the only Giver of your joy and of your hope. Trust Him and no one else. As you count your blessings, His truth and love and power will be affirmed.
