Encouraging Notes

If God was willing to spare his Son to save you, how would he not be willing and wanting to give you anything and everything else that would bless you! Yes! God loves you so much, he was willing to bankrupt heaven to have you! God spoke through prophet Jeremiah, saying, "I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love, I have drawn you to myself." Jeremiah 31:3

Wow! Promises in the word of God like this are so encouraging to me! There is one thing I know for sure I can do today— Pray! A great quote from the book The Kneeling Christian says this, "The secret of all failure is the failure to pray in secret." Apostle Paul often asked for prayer from those he was writing to. He knew prayer is what would change things, and he needed their firepower!

And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God's mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike. Eph 6:19 (NLT)

So, who should we consider to be God's family? It is those who, by faith, have received the love of God. Receiving his love is the power that changes every aspect of life and causes those who have received it to look like and act like God. Remember, "We love because he first loved us." 1 John 4:19 Jesus said it like this, "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them." Jn 14:23

Even before God made the world, he loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. The Bible clearly tells us, "there is none righteous, not even one." (Rom 3:10) God did not choose us because we did anything to deserve it but because we are his greatest pleasure and desire! We are his! Jesus came and paid the price for your right standing with God and has given you the opportunity to be fully reconciled to God.

That's it. That's all we know about this man, but its truth is so encouraging! We know that God is moved by faith. Even the simplest yet persistent prayer lets God know you believe him. When you consistently, persistently cry out to him for something, he is moved by your faith! This principle is spelled out by Jesus in Luke chapter 18, where he taught about the woman with the unjust judge. At the end of his discourse, he said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you; he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:6-8)

When people come together in a spirit of unity to express their love and adoration for the One who has given them life, something supernatural happens. This is where God’s eternal life is released, and people are empowered for the purposes of heaven! Not only can you be encouraged, but it is your opportunity to be a catalyst for somebody else! I am thankful for the internet, but how much better it is when we come together! Though it is most necessary to be wise and careful, I believe it is essential to find a way to meet with those passionate about Jesus!
