God’s familial loving peace opened my eyes.
That first, solitary eye opening second, the awareness, the presence of God is earth shattering.
”Father, good morning Dad, my Dad, I love You.”
Eternal life is new in a second. The family reunion is made.
Holding My Fathers love in thought, knowing My Comforters love within, my Lord ‘s loving sacrifice is praised, “I love you Lord Jesus.”
Praying “Guide my thoughts with Yours, help me to consider my words with Yours, direct my feet in Your ways.”
Standing, reckoning the aches, small stepping the hurts, shuffling into a consciousness of blessings in a life designed by my Creator.
A loud joyful holler “I’m a child of God” disbands and blows away the troops of arthritis wakening with claims of weighty pains.
Going forward exclaiming the marvels of being a Christian, born again with the inexhaustible grace of God, praises are lifted for Christ, in a body, the house I live in.
A house without walls with ears that limit my volume of praise.
Gracious, gracious Father God, I love you out loud and whisper up close in the quiet we have together.
Take me today God my Holy Spirit fully into the good works that You have equipped me for.
Light my way Lord Jesus, so others can see Your saving light.
Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Verse 9 not works, lest anyone should boast.
Verse 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 6:24 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.
Through Christ, in Christ, with Christ and Jesus Christ alone we are able to love God who first loved us. God is at peace with us in Jesus name. Amen

Thank you for the post. I pray that many will turn to the one true Daddy before it is too late.
“Know that the Lord Himself is God;
It is He who made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.” (Psalm 100:3)
A joy and contentment filled New year to you.
“Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers” ( 3 John 3:2) NASB

May our God who is full of love and righteousness look upon you and your family with more kindness than He has already showered on you folks.
We look to the word of God to endure and run the good race in the strength of our Lord Jesus Christ. We read the Bible and live to please God.
Hebrews 4:12-13 “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Verse 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.”
In the army of Christ.
