Continuing on with my little book titled "LETTERS from HEAVEN: Reassuring Words of God's Love" by J. Jay Sanders. It has 26 pages in this tiny book.......each one centered around a letter of the alphabet.

We have done three letters of the alphabet at a time. This is the fifth installment with the letters of "M, N, O," of what God thinks about us. These are personal notes to each one of us from Him:

 

I'm your Father and I....

Marvel at how you have grown and changed.

~~

 

Grow in the grace and knowledge

of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

 

2 PETER 3:18

 

~~

 

 

Though I am not what I ought to be,

nor what I wish to be,

nor yet hope to be,

I can truly say I am not what I once was,

a slave to sin and satan.

-         John Newton

 

*****

 

I'm your Father and I.....

Never ignore your Advocate.

 

~~

 

My little children,

I am writing these things to you

So that you may not sin.

And if anyone sins,

We have an Advocate with the Father,

Jesus Christ the righteous.

 

I JOHN 2:1

 

~~

 

Christ’s work as advocate

comes into operation as soon as we sin…..

we have a lovely word in Africa

used to express this idea.

An advocate or comforter is sometimes called a

"kasendo mukwashi."

The first word, "Kasendo", means

"A blood brother,"

one with whom a solemn covenant

sealed in blood has been made.

The second word, "mukwashi", means

"One who helps by laying hold."

The lord is both to us.

- T. Ernest Wilson

 

*****

 

I'm your Father, and I...

Offered My son so

That we could be

Together forever.

 

~~

 

For God so loved the world,

That He gave His only begotten Son,

That whoever believes in Him

Shall not perish,

But have eternal life.

 

JOHN 3:16

 

~~

 

Enough said.
