Lord, You are in our midst, Mighty God, . . You sing over Your children . . It is You, and Your Truth keeping us from falling ~~~, ~~You are the light of our innermost being, ~~ so much power resides in each Spirit filled son and daughter belonging to the Body of Christ ~~~ Causing us to rejoice over this amazing Truth, thank You, Lord for 'assuring us of Your Presence through the Divine Comforter indwelling~~ "The Lord, Your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save, will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His Love, He will rejoice over you with singing . . "Zeph 3:17 "To Him Who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious Presence without fault and with great joy . ." Jude 24 Wholeheartedly agree. We need to make our assessment of how God looks at us based upon His Word. That said, if you are anything like me, there are some pretty strong undercurrent narratives in our minds that run counter to God's perspective. I find that I desperately need to continuously renew my mind to keep them in check. Kind of like weeds growing in our garden trying to choke out the fruit. All you have to do for weeds to "prosper" is nothing. That's why so many of us recognize the need to apply the ultimate weed killer, God's Word, frequently and liberally. Otherwise, our minds can be quickly and easily overrun with destructive weeds. You are so rich in the Word Donna. Like golden apples framed in silver! What a breath of fresh air you are. Thanks for being You! Love...TR Your light shines brightly, T.R. . . I do wonder why He chooses limited humanity to 'speak' of His Magnificence , as weak as we are ~~ . . , God has His reasons ~~ I like how John Piper says it . . . “It is about the greatness of God, not the significance of man. ~ ~~God made man small and the universe big to SAY something about Himself.” . . ~~ . . our God Magnificent and Glorious, truly delights in His children so dearly patient with us, HE reminds us HE IS ~ ALTOGETHER "OTHER" ~~ I have also wondered about that as well. Humans are a motly crew at their best! I suppose anyone can start with the finest of materials and make something beautiful. But only God chooses to start with the most base of materials and then fashions beauty. A little bit of carbon & pressure and then there are diamonds. TR
