Dear God,
Thank You for my life and the ability to enjoy all that I have long ago planted in my rose garden and orchard. The vegetables grow and so do the weeds and grubs. We must all be happy on my property, the uninvited grow more abundantly. I am appreciative I can still manage to make some impact upon them, this winter time. As my plants and trees need regular care and tending for their best health, so do I need to care for my body and mind and weed out the unchristian thoughts and wrong habits and to be successful I need assistance and am invited by Jesus to ask, and I will be given His help.
At each reading of the recorded messages from God, and Jesus Christ, I am impacted by the new thoughts I find with each reading from familiar passages. It is thought provoking to contemplate, that Jesus gave His life for friend and foe alike, which is an amazing occurrence, when remembered in the light of His sinless purity and that He left His glorious home with all the angels, You, His beloved Father, and the joyous atmosphere of heaven. It is barely to be imagined, that this love mission, was to save we mostly unwelcoming habitual sinners living in this dark, hostile environment; the territory Satan had claimed as his. Jesus with His Divine purity intact within a human body, loved every person, and gave equally to every class as the promised Servant; refusing no one. Not only did He heal bodies, but souls, that were hungry for the gospel Good News; love Father God and His Son, with all our hearts and everyone on earth as Jesus does and be saved from evil, misery and eternal death. The kingdom of God is a reality in Jesus.
John 15:16 “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.” Such joyful news, that I am specially chosen to bear the fruit of Jesus. I perceive that in every situation and condition, this text is not primarily saying, ask to get rich, and build up money and possessions, but rather ask for the Holy Spirit; to grow spiritually in my life and to share Your love with all other people You place in my path. The fruit given me by the Holy Spirit will remain as I pray You the Father in the name of Jesus to be filled every day, for He is bringing Jesus into my life each day; Hallelujah, for I am one blessed by Your answer.
Amen
