March 22, 2012: Words from the Word

3 gifts found in His Word:

• Psalm 9:9-10 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
• Psalm 37:23-24  The LORD makes firm the steps of those who delight in him; though they stumble, they will not fall, for the LORD upholds them with his hand. 
•  1 John 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

February 14, 2012: God's Love Is the Very Best Valentine Gift of All

3 ways you feel the love of God:

• through my husband.   He loves me because of Christ in him.  He has stayed faithful to me for 26 1/2 years because of Christ in him.  He remains committed to me no matter what the future holds because of Christ in him. That is a gift for which I am truly grateful. 
• through the Word.  God tells me over and over again how much he loves me. If you've never seen the video from fathersloveletter.com you should really check it out.  Today. On Valentine's Day.  Or any day.  
• when I worship.  I have always liked to sing, and especially to sing in worship.  Worship just brings me close to God, it's a very intimate thing to me and I feel God's presence there.  I become more aware of his love for me and mine for him.
