Celebrate our Lord as He does not come and die in vain, but to save His people from our sin – forever and ever. We are blessed to be children of God and to have the gift of His Son and the Holy Spirit upon us.
Know that Jesus is King is conceived from God’s perfect plan for man who first let down the Lord and fell from grace into sin by our own earthly choice. He loves you so much that He beckons us back to His grace – a place we do not deserve on our own merit – but only through the blood of the Savior.
We are blessed in richness beyond what we can conceive. All we have on earth is what we see from our earthly, outward view. God sees our inward self and knows our heart. Deny yourself and trust the Lord for He is our hope. Have faith for in faith is our surety of His promise that we strive no more under our own strength but rely on God.
We inherit the riches beyond all comprehension. Breathe in this beauty and the sweet fragrance of God. See His face as you seek an image in the mirror. As we become more and more molded by Him, our inward self becomes more and more apparent. See the Light that shines from within the saved. God is with us.
See how all is in God’s perfect plan. Know that all that is negative is only the world and all is positive in the Lord. We seek this positive nature and are assured we will find it. We are pilgrims on a journey to heaven traveling through life to cast a light of our internal spirit planted by our God and perpetuated by the Holy Spirit.
Bask in joy for God is with us. Trouble not for we bear burden no more. Jesus frees us and his burden is light. Seek first the eternal kingdom and all else will be in abundance of joy and love afforded to us by Jesus Christ through God’s perfect plan for the fallen. We are loved and we love.
Peace to all in the name of Jesus Christ,
