Memory Verse:  I am rich; Christ lives in me!

Good Morning, ABBA, Father,

It is a cool, rainy, morning, out on the porch. My Cup of Fancy this morning is Caramel Walnut Shortbread Rooibos svtea.com. This is the company from which I order all of my teas.

To be able to sit in peace and blog, after teaching for 35 years, is a gift earned.

The palette of gold and silver speaks of royalty.

Those of us who accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior are royalty. Every Christian is a saint, as they enter the gates of heaven.

Jesus promises in John 11:25 ”I AM the Resurrection and The Life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in Me, will never die.”

About 10 years ago, I heard a priest reiterate from the altar, what I was taught as a child.”If you miss mass on Sunday that’s a mortal sin, and you’ll go to hell if you don’t confess it.”

Not one of us in that church believed those lies. We as Christians, no matter the denomination, are all under GRACE….and not the legalism of their rules.

Thus the Protestant Reformation.

Due to the fact that Christ lives in you, and you diligently seek HIM,  you are blessed with many riches: 

 The fruits of the Holy Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Yes, we are all sinners, but through the blood of Christ, Grace has,”Saved a wretch like me.”

In my book, THE ERSTWHILE ACORN, you will read the story of two friends:

*one raised strict Catholic.

*one raised strict Mennonite.

It is an impeccable story of how two friends found the GRACE THROUGH CHRIST, which washes away all sin.

Praise You, ABBA for bringing me to the truth.

Thank you for pouring riches upon my life.

MY CHILD: IT IS A MYSTERY….that only one can believe through faith. Through GRACE…THE HOLY SPIRIT LIVES WITHIN YOU.  You are saved by GRACE.

You know when My Spirit listens…..you know when My Spirit talks. Remain close to ME 

I love you.

Your,

ABBA, Father

Ephesians 2:6-7 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

Romans 11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches of wisdom and knowledge of God!

Colossians 1:27 To them God has made known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
