"Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in You. Show me the way I should go, for to You I entrust my life." Psalm 143:8
I think God speaks something meaningful into our lives and it filled us up and helps us change the world regardless of ourselves and our shortcomings. His name for us is His beloved. He hopes we'll start to see ourselves as His beloved rather than think of all the reasons that we aren't. -- Bob Goff
The Lord Jesus Christ loves us so much that He gave Himself for our deliverance from death to life. Many of us have come to take that great sacrifice for granted. Many of us have ceased to even regard the fact that there is a Great God in Heaven who woos us with His love and saves us by His own shed blood.
We have turned our eyes aside from Him. We look upon worldly pursuits. We yearn after temporal achievement and corruptible possessions rather than for Heaven’s eternal treasure. We have become so indifferent to Christ’s “unspeakable gift,” II Corinthians 9:15, that we have become willing to allow the encroachment of the deception of the enemy into the fabric of our own lives and into the life of our culture.
We needn’t look far to see the evidence of the false religion of the evil one within our midst in ever-increasing acceptance because, unfortunately, few people in our benighted society seem to have eyes to see or ears to hear the message of its encroaching threat to all we hold dear.
May the Lord Jesus send His Holy Spirit to revive us, to open our blind eyes, to unstop our deaf ears, and to renew within our hearts a right spirit that will cause us to first of all embrace Jesus with a full heart and lay our lives at His feet, and second to guard the TRUTH HE's GIVEN TO US AGAINST THE DECEPTION OF THE EVIL ONE WHO HAS MASKED HIS HIDEOUS, PERVERTED RELIGION WITH A THIN VEIL OF LIES.
