Jesus is Risen! Hope for Today

This Easter, may you marvel at the amazing love that God has for you. He sent Jesus into the world to pay the price for your sins, so that you could live with Him forever. Jesus died on the cross, taking your sins upon Himself. He was buried.
After three days, Jesus rose from the grave.
He now sits at the right hand of God speaking on your behalf. 

May you rejoice and bask in the warmth of 
God’s amazing love for you.

My Beloved, Cherished Love

My Beloved is patient and kind.
He rejoices with the truth.
He  bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,
endures all things.
His love never ends.
This is my friend.
This is my Beloved.
This is my cherished love.
I’m living Valentine’s Day each day of the year!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

The Key to Being Blessed

“Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.”Luke 1:45

How can this be?

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.
Know that the Lord Himself is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving
And His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him, bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His lovingkindness is everlasting
And His faithfulness to all generations. Psalm 100
