Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Dear God,
I rejoice in You, and Your words of life. For You gave inspiration to Your prophets and in their own words, they recorded Your message, so that all readers, can by faith accept Your messages, that not only educate us, but bring us to a place so that You can, through the Holy Spirit, fill my(our) mind with all that is needful to be Your true child who is able to do Your will, and live in a way, that pleases You.
Because I have learned to love You through the writings within the Holy Bible, I wish to obey You in all that you ask of Your followers and with joy share Your love and my hope of going home to heaven with Jesus, when He comes again for His own obedient children, who have by faith lived for Him and done what He has asked of all His disciples.
For some You ask that they live a quiet life filled with Your love, grace and faith in You, which enhances their lives and all around them. For others, through the same faith and dependence upon their God, they have been asked to do mighty feats in Your power; at home and far off places. Some have lived Christ filled life and died naturally, others have lived and died in great hardship, or at the hands of a torturer/s. Every one of these true hearted dedicated lives, You have promised to accept and bless. All wait and will wait, in their graves, to be, with all Gods people at the end time, when Jesus calls His own. Hebrews 11:40 “God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.”
Their reward, as with mine (ours) has not yet been received, but along with Paul, my hope is real.
1 Corinthians 15: 22, 23 “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the first fruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.”
Dear Jesus, I again dedicate my life to You, acknowledging this is possible only, by faith and obedience in You through the power and enabling of the Holy Spirit. Thank You for all that You are and do for me every day.
Amen
