Grace, mercy, and peace, which come from God the Father and from Jesus Christ—the Son of the Father—will continue to be with us who live in truth and love.
2 John 1:3
I was telling Annie about some thoughts I woke up with that tried to bring “care” on me. The next thought I had was to praise and thank God for exactly how my life has gone and to thank Him for the wonderful future He has in store for me. It’s amazing how thanking and praising Him cancelled out my own understanding and brings His liberty back into me. Using His understanding, that is, thanking and praising Him in all things, sets me free like nothing else. His truth, His Word, Jesus, is so freeing.
His grace, mercy and peace truly belong to anyone who will continue to choose to live in His Truth and Love.
Then said Jesus to those Jews (and anyone else who continues to believe on Jesus) which believed on him, If ye continue in my word (This is key), then are ye my (Jesus’) disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth (Wonderful Jesus), and the truth (Jesus) shall make you free (from lies that try to snare us and bring us back into bondage).
John 8:31-32
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
Note: While we may not agree with everything a particular church or Christian group teaches or believes, there are times when we can be blessed by something outside the realm of our current understanding of God.
