----GROWING IN JESUS~~

"For from Him and
through Him and for
Him are all things."
---(Romans 11:36)-

--THE BIBLE declares Christ Jesus as the source of all blessing in Romans 11:36, "For from Him and through Him and for Him are all things." "All Things" encompasses both the extravagant and the mundane, everyday gifts in our lives. Everything we receive in life comes directly from our heavenly Father (James 1:17), and He willingly gives us those gift out of His love for us.

To expand my awareness of God's blessings in my life, I am learning to cultivate a heart that acknowledges the source of all the joys I experience each day, but especially the ones I often take for granted. Today I thank our Creator for all the joys I experience each day. Those include a cool sunny morning and afternoon. The anticipation of an evening with family and the Lord Jesus. Plenty of food for our meals, a stocked pantry, and an aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

God has already given us so much to be thankful for, as we await His return to gather us and take us to Heaven to live eternally with Him and all the saints, those that accept His 'free gift' of salvation. We must ask Him for forgiveness of our sins, confess our wrongs, and thank Him for dying on the Cross, so we are now 'born-again'. (see John 3:3 thru 6). Jesus paid our sin debt by dying on the Cross. He is now alive seated at the right hand of His Father in Heaven. Yes, the Creator of all things visible and invisible, will forgive all people that confess and repent of their sins. Then, we turn our lives over to Him, and follow in His steps. We grow closer to Him as we read the Bible. He answers our prayers as we thank Him and bow in humble adoration before Him. Jesus died so we can live forever and our names are written in 'The Lamb's Book of Life.' Give Him praise. "Even so, Come Lord Jesus." ~~
