You are the initiator and I am the responder. I love You, Lord, because You first loved me!

Thanks for bein’ the Way.. just exactly the Way You are! 

I never leave your mind, Lord. Perhaps it’s cuz You’re the most beautiful and powerful person here and in this whole universe, Lord Jesus. Thank for bein' the truth and the life.. for me, for us.

Thanks for all the thoughtful loving-kindnesses towards me. Don’t know how Ya do it, but You have each of us in mind.. always, and never change like all those fake Eastern (so called) gods.  

God is a beautiful personality. Yep, the most! He relates to each of us Personality to personality. Yes, Person to person.. so relatable.. in a meaningful sorta way. He doesn't do that to the angels or animals that He also made. 

Listen, what we are in little, believer, He is in BIG.. minus the sin. 

Guess what.. the real "last days" actually started when Jesus was born in Bethlehem, so now you and me.. we be in the last hour, or hours, or in the last minutes perhaps. Won’t set a date, but let's enjoy relationship (vertically with Him, and with His growin’ friends). Let’s pray today with intimacy, with specificity, with mind, and ears, and hearts and live rapture-ready too.. every day. Every hour, minute and second. Closeness -- I love it.    

(In difficult times, or even when going through life’s tough, challenging or mundane situations, it is sometimes hard to imagine that God cares for “little me.” But he does.)

Thanks for selflessly, tenderly, patiently caring for me.. for us one by one by one. If I was You, I’d ditch me (a sinner).  

I never leave your mind, but to be candid, You have left my mind. Sorry for that. Not sure why my heart is so prone to wander.. why I'm so easily distracted (like with my cell phone). 

“For I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11.

“Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!” Psalm 139:16-17.

“Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” Matthew 10:29-311

Thanks for lovin’ all Your kids, God so So SO much! 

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.” Romans 8:28-29.

Also.. thanks for having a good bespoke-plan for me too.. for each of us! 

“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” 1 Peter 2:9.

“Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will …” Ephesians 1:4-5.

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10.

“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 1 Timothy 2:3-4.

“..as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” 2 Peter 1:3-4.

Thanks for not walkin’ out, or splitin', or permanently bailin’ out on me. If I was You, I sure would. 

God, please fill me with Your kind Spirit. You’ve been so loyal, so true, so faithful towards me, but I haven’t always been that way. Wanna be.. and to become more like you are in character. Help me to grow. Am broken, can you heal and repair? Want to be well filled-in, wise, practical, whole and make an impact here. Lots of hurting people around here. Want a red-hot passionate relationship too.. not some lukewarm or cold one with You.  

“For the Lord will not cast off His people, nor will He forsake His inheritance.” Psalm 94:14.

“Now then, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.” Exodus 19:5.

“Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9.

“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39.

Thanks for lookin’ forward to spending eternity with me.. with family.. with us. 

I'm excited 'bout this as well. No social distancing there. Thanks for my lovely bride too -- we always wanna be with you leading us. 

I think everyone everywhere deep-down really longs for family, one that thinks and acts like a real family with a loving Father. Be spiritually born-again. Become regenerated inside. God does that. Ask. Turn, trust, and simply believe.   

“For God so loved that world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.

“But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.” Romans 6:22.

“..but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” John 4:14.

“In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” John 14:2-3.

“Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:3-4... Fish4souls.org

He (Jesus) wasn't a mere man. Oh no, He was  indeed 100% man and 100% God. He's the One that can forgive other humans like me. 

The Lord for real.. walking among us mere mortals in need of him. We still need Him today. 

There are two ways we can live. We can let messes build up into bigger problems, or we can constantly see our need to be cleansed and changed. We all sin.. not sure how often. Daily, every other day, every couple days perhaps.. but we all have and still do even though we try to avoid all wrong-doin’s. Perhaps.. maybe some of us sin more than others, it would appear that way at times, but one little or big sin is enough to separate us from God, so they all are serious. Wanna learn to hate sin as much as God hates sin, and learn to love my heavenly Father and other people as much as He does. Really wanna. Help me Holy Spirit -- needs gobs of assistance.  

“Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being.” —Philippians 2:7
