March 1–New Birth

Good Thursday morning to you! It’s a brand new month today. They sure seem to go fast in some ways, don’t they? Yesterday, I met the 24-hr-old Miss Raquel. I was excited to hold her and pray for her—to thank God for the blessing of her and ask the Almighty Father to guide her life all of her days. 


I look at this new baby and I see that God’s promises are new every morning for those who love him. You know, when we are watching for God we can find Him in the everyday, the simple, and even the mundane. But every so often we are blessed and overwhelmed with something so very wonderful it simply takes our breath away and for me yesterday, it was a 9’2” beautiful baby girl. Jehovah, sometimes, you just out do yourself! 


“GOD ’s loyal love couldn’t have run out, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with GOD (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left.” ‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3:22-24‬ ‭MSG‬‬


And that tiny bundle so very innocent is exactly how God sees us after He washes us clean. All our awfulness and filth is gone and we are clean and one again innocent in His eyes. Justified fully—“just as if we had never”—don’t you love that? Nicodemus asked if we needed to once again enter into our mother’s wombs to be born again trying to figure out how to return to the state of innocence. Jesús answered him to say that God sent His only son so that if people would believe on him, they wouldn’t be punished. And just like Moses lifted up the snake, so shall the Son of Man be lifted up. “If you don’t believe it when I tell you about earthly things, how will you believe it when I tell you about heavenly things?” John 3:12 Good point, wouldn’t you say?


““For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.”

‭‭John‬ ‭3:16-17‬ ‭NLT‬‬


Thank you King Jesús for you complete sacrifice so that we might be saved from judgement. Thank you for the opportunity to be made brand new and once again innocent of all wrong just like a precious baby. You are good and you are a great God! Oh how we love you our Messiah and Lord. You are the Alpha and the Omega. Praise El Elyon. Amen and amen. 


Love you dear one,

Happy Friday. It’s the end of another week and we have had more opportunities to share the love of Christ with those around us and sometimes that takes quite a bit of effort. I don’t know about you, but I’m not always anxious to embrace others and really listen to them or share with them (especially those who I don’t know well). Sometimes, I just look at them and think “Are you for real?” I don’t always agree with people over politics, sports or of course, religion. And let’s face it, we’d rather spend time with people we like and mostly agree.  And then I read my Bible. God hasn’t called us to sit in our little groups with only those we naturally gravitate towards, but to love people—all people, even those who aren’t necessarily loveable. In this passage, Paul writing to the people of Colosse remarks on how wonderful it is that they truly love others. That love must have really been something over and above the normal and he tells them that it is evident that it comes from the Holy Sp

Happy Wednesday to you. I hope your week is going well. Yesterday, I went to Sams. I was out of things like trash bags, toilet paper, and chicken, so off I went. I like going to Sams because there is always lots to look at and the isles are nice and wide. Everytime I’m there, I am amazed at how much stuff and everything from diapers to TVs to mangos to beds. It just seems incredible that so many things in such quantities are all under one roof.  King David never saw a store with as much stuff aa Sams of course, but he did see countless miracles and understand that God has plans. He knew from creation and history that he was serving a God of miracles and he know that God loved him and his people and would take care of them. He was amazed and awe-struck by the fact that a God who had done such great and mighty things not only cared about his people but that He loved them with such a great love.  “Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can co

It’s Thursday and I woke up to the blowing wind! Lots of it—I’m dreading Boomer waking up and having to go outside with him. That harsh, bitter wind seems cruel and almost evil. But I’ll wrap myself up with a fe layers and boots and brave it all.  Sometimes I think we try to do that with things we know aren’t right—things that are evil. We try to wrap ourselves up and just wade into it, but Paul tells us we should reject it—stay away from it. “Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil. May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.” ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:20-24‬ NIV When he wrote this he’d been in Berea and the Christians there diligently searched the scriptures to make sure everything Paul said was in line. Paul here is encouraging the Thessalonians to
