We are the Beloved!

God loves us! If everyone truly believed and accepted it, we would be like little children around age 5 - 10, doing all we can to please Him. We would try, I mean really try. Expend effort and energy trying to make Him happy. We would do silly things to make Him laugh. He doesn't love us any less because we don't or any more than He does if we do but it would pull at His heartstrings. He would say about us as He did about David, "That child is after my own heart!" And it would give Him joy!

Beloved, that is what I try to do each and every day He blesses me to live. I love on Him by loving on you. I am like a child yet, I've let go of childish things but no my child-like wonder, curiousity and quest about Him and the Kingdom of God within me.

I can't possibly love you as much as Christ does but I can try. And in trying, He is glorified and I feel joy! Peace! Free! and loved in return!

I love you, Lord. And you, reading this? I love you, too.

Miracle Sighting

Okay, I'm putting it in writing so that I can say, "I told you so!" when it happens. I am expecting a miracle to happen to me. Trying to explain it to you would be ... well it would undignify the mighty hand of God. When it happens, I will tell you so that God will get the Glory!

I am expecting this miracle before month's end. That means before Saturday, May 31, 2008. I believe. I have faith. I trust God and His word. He is His word. Who among us can argue with a miracle? The foolish. The unwise.

This miracle won't be an "I stubbed my toe, lost the toenail and it grew back before my eyes." kind of miracle. It will be something that others can witness and I will bear witness by reporting it to you.

I am so excited and filled with expectancy. I can barely stand it but they who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles...they shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

I boldly decree and declare in the name of Jesus, a miracle sighting! Praises unto God!
