Hello my most Wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much! You are awesome. Here we are, already coming to the end of the first month of our New Year 2018. This will be a very Blessed year for all of us because of our God and Creator Elohim Who loves to bestow His blessings upon His children. He, Himself is actually the Grandest, most Perfect Blessing we could ever receive. Those of us who know God and do life with Him, bask daily in this intimacy with the Creator of the Universe. Those of you who do not yet know God in a personal, intimate, relationship will be exhilarated when you get to know Him.
Dear LORD God Almighty, Maker of Heaven and earth, we come to you on bended knees. We prostrate our hearts before You LORD. You alone are worthy of our praise. You are Glorious, Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent. Thank You for Your Son, our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank You for loving us and teaching us to love one another. LORD please put in our human hearts a burning desire to love our fellow humanity. To care for them, to help those in need and comfort those who are in pain. To be our brother’s keeper.
LORD let us follow Your example, (found in the Bible), that You gave us when You lived here on earth as Jesus Christ of Nazareth, God Incarnate. God, You left Heaven and all of Your Glory to be born in a manger, (of all places). To be wrapped in swaddling clothes, which are the cloths used to care for the sheep. You were born as the Lamb Who was slain before the foundation of the world. You died on the Cross of Calvary as the only Perfect Propitiation for our sins. We praise You LORD, we worship You, we love You, we are eternally grateful to You. Please call all of Your children unto You who do not yet know You.
Thank You LORD that You are the Author and Finisher of our lives. You are the Alpha and the Omega. Please protect us and all of our generations LORD from the enemy of our souls and keep us from being deceived. Please give us Your Wisdom, Your Strength, Your Peace that passes understanding, Your Perfect Love, Your Hope for our futures. Please encamp Your angels around us all and let those who are persecuted for loving You know that You are with them. You never leave us nor forsake us. We pray this in the Precious Name of Jesus and thank You. Glory to Your Name!
In my home I have many awesome, colorful plaques, pictures and artwork of Bible Scriptures, and actual words of inspiration written in script such as “Faith, Hope, Love, Amazing Grace, Believe and the Name of Jesus”. I have posters and wooden pictures with the Names of God . I love being surrounded with this atmosphere that I feel honors God and inspires me to be like Jesus. It helps me to keep a right perspective on life at a time when there is a lot of wrong happening all around us.
I also have globes and maps of the world with areas that are marked to indicate countries where Christians are persecuted and even killed because of their faith in Christ. I pray for all of you all around the world. I love you. Jesus loves you! Please, I beseech you, will those of us who are blessed with material blessings please share with those who don’t even have clean water, food or medical care. We are all connected by the World Wide Web. We can all see what is going on in other countries around the world. Please let’s open our hearts and be God’s Heart and Hands to a hurting world.
This one large, beautiful, wooden plaque has many Names that Jesus is called by. I wanted to share those with you tonight. The Bible Scriptures where those Names are found are also listed. (It does not indicate who the artist is, so I’m sorry I do not know whom to give credit to for this artwork, but it is awesome.)
