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.
