I don't mean to be alliteral... no, I said alliteral, not illiterate, bro's! :-P
Let me begin today by saying how blessed you are all making me feel as I yesterday found out that some of my viewers have been as far away as Alaska!
Thank you, bro's, for being such an amazing audience and I hope you have a blessed week & in fact, just a completely blessed life, right now! ;-)
I love you one and all...
This Blessed Life I Lead
Things have been progressing for me as the builders have been busy putting in my new kitchen, so that's kept me busy making sure I'm around for them. Who knows, maybe I'll show you a progress report at some point!
Onto Day Four of my "7 Days..." celebration and first up was a song I saw on TBNuk yesterday from Trent that has really been speaking to me and it's fast becoming my humble way of living going forward after the throttling that my emotions have taken this past three days: -
That guitar hook, man, it just...! :-D
I can honestly say that things have moved around an awful lot since my last devotional. I just feel like I have got, like I said to my best friend Peter, so much love to give so I'm gonna go smother a few people.
That's what happens when you encounter the love of Christ, though!
A Collision Calamity
I collided with Him once again last night listening to Crowder's "How He Loves" (that I incidentally linked to last time so go listen to it if you want to remind yourself that you too are loved by God!) because that was the first song that burst the floodgates and let out all my sealed up emotions, so it will always henceforth, have a special place in my heart for reminding me just how much God loves me.
Today though, it was all about New Creation Church in Singapore where Pastor Joseph Prince was speaking about "What it Means to Have the Lord With You": -
Here's a snapshot of some of the pointers that I made: -
Wherever you go, you are blessed;Wherever you go, that place is blessed;Don't let people devalue you because the moment you are out of their lives, they've lost a huge blessing, not you!You don't want the blessing to be in a job, or in someone else; you should be the blessing (which at this point reminds me of how I am fully committed to purity and sanctification when it comes to waiting for my girlfriend to arrive so that she knows I'm saving myself, just... for... HER!!!);The Lord does not leave us when we sin, we are still in His grasp!
The last pointer of course naturally reminds me of the verse where God promises never to leave us or forsake us in Deuteronomy 31 and Joseph reminds us that the word "never" come from the original meanings of "ou" and "me", which translates as "never, ever".
Wow!
Final Thought
How good is that, to know that there is literally nothing that you can do to separate yourself from God's love!
For I am persuaded that not even death or life, angels or rulers, things present or things to come, hostile powers, height or depth, or any other created thing will have the power to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord! Romans 8:38-39 (HCSB)
This first part was remarkably easy to write, simply because I made notes which I could blitz through in putting them down here, so now it's onto part two!
Peace off!
