“People ususally don’t recognize how much God does for them daily. The first flush of His grace could be a breeze, and the recipient surges with gratitude. The second time God intersects with our spirit is perhaps when His hand prevents an accident. The hard of heart slowly melt, to open up in anticipation of the next encounter. Expecting to receive again, the soul begins to seek another elusive joy moment. Such generated anticipation ignites a hope to know God. His charming Way is that His Spirit talks to our spirit.

He makes Himself known in a sunrise, a blooming flower, and the devoted love of a pet. These mysterious joy moments rack up and suddenly, we notice that strangers are smiling and greeting us with undeserved kindness. His winsome presence then becomes addictive, and we seek more attention from the Lover of our souls. Jesus is His name, and now that you know, you can answer His gentle call. That passing tingle of warmth can be invited to stay.

Our souls were created to be filled by His endless, irresistible, unmatched, forever love. Empty souls awaken with a purpose to experience Him again and again. A desire to pay it forward compels us to extend acts of kindness. Already spoiled by grace, we desire to reciprocate such love to the Giver of all good. He becomes our covering, our Protector, our Provider of all blessings. Ever available, God is love, and He has an endless supply dedicated to having regular encounters with you, sweet Liz.

All desperate needs are met, and He insists we simply repay His grace by offering a cold cup of soothing water to the parched as we can. His well is deep, and it never runs dry. Believe in He who is invisible, but always there. There is no limit in His giving. His supply overwhelms our capacity to receive. We can never out give God, but He has zero need. He just wants our hearts to fill with His eternal love. Open wide your heart and just receive! The overflow of His everlasting love, grace, and tender compassion covers us until we rejoin Him face to face in the place of no time.” bhoyle

Luke 15:10 “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Hallelujah ❤️

Amazing Grace

Sing with me, a great song! It is Baptism Sunday! Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord! ❤️ Oh, yeah! I’ll praise in the valley
Praise Him on the mountain
I’ll praise when I’m sure..
Praise when I’m doubting!

Praise is my weapon, it’s more than a sound! Oh, my praise is the shout that brings Jericho down! As long as I’m breathing, I’ve got a reason to praise! Oh, my soul, I won’t be quiet. My God is alive! So how could I keep it inside? I’ll praise ’cause You’re sovereign, I praise ’cause You reign, and I praise ’cause You rose and defeated the grave!

What began with prayer ended in rejoicing because of His faithfulness and a step of faith.  Liz Naidoff + Jesus; Mike and Barbara; Carol and Sofy; Greg Harrison; Francisco Loera; Priscilla and Jerry; Charlotte Vawter; Pastor Gary and Lori; Mark and Linda; Mary and Juanita.
