Imitator of God – Pt. 3

Sep18

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;
Ephesians 5:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.5.1.NASB1995

To the family of God.

Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.
Ephesians 4:32 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.4.32.NASB1995

Seeing their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven you.”
Luke 5:20 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.5.20.NASB1995

So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.
Colossians 3:12-13 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.12-13.NASB1995

Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.
Colossians 3:14 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.14.NASB1995

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,
1 Corinthians 13:4 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.13.4.NASB1995

🌹To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit;
1 Peter 3:8 NASB1995

Blessed Are Those Who Long

Jul4

just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,
Ephesians 1:4-5 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.1.4-5.NASB1995

‭Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him.
Isaiah 30:18 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.30.18.NASB1995

Believers are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to walk in good works. Jesus reconciled the believer in order to present us holy, blameless and beyond reproach. Jesus came to open the eyes of the blind and the ears of the deaf – those lost in darkness and deaf to God’s word. God will guide our feet in the way of peace. The Lord longs to be gracious to you.
Ephesians 2:10; Colossians 1:22; Isaiah 32:3, 30:21; Luke 1:79
‭
🌹O Lord, be gracious to us; we have waited for You. Be their (our) strength every morning, Our salvation also in the time of distress.
Isaiah 33:2 NASB1995‬

Undeserved Grace

May18

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear (revere) Him.
Psalms 103:10‭-‬11

God, I am humbled when I am faced with your grace. When I consider Your holiness in view of my sin I am ashamed. But God . . . You have not given me the punishment I deserve. Your lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For Your compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. Your lovingkindness, O Lord, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. I give glory to Your name, God, for Your mercy and grace. Amen
Lamentations 3:22‭-‬23/Psalms 36:5/Psalms 36:7 NASB

🌹I will sing of the lovingkindness of the Lord forever; To all generations I will make known Your faithfulness with my mouth.

New Every Morning

Mar1

Came across this and just had to share again . . .

I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” 

Lamentations 3:19-24

Have you ever experienced bitterness? That something that is hard to bear, distressing, painful, grieving your soul that brings the taste of bitterness? Remember lest that bitterness turns to fierce, cruel, ruthless, relentless or hostile bitterness, that there is hope.

This is our hope: “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

God has a plan and sometimes that plan doesn’t sit well with us causing bitterness. Take your bitterness to the Lord. His compassions never fail. He is faithful. Trust Him and wait on Him. He is our portion. He is all we need and the answer to all our woes and bitterness. He will renew you with His faithfulness and compassion every new day. Praise the Lord God Almighty.

Continually seeking Him,

Sharon

Giving Thanks

Then you will say on that day, “I will give thanks to You, O Lord; For although You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, And You comfort me.
Isaiah 12:1

O Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; For You have worked wonders, Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness. For Your anger is but for a moment, Your favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning. I thank You, Lord God for Your forgiveness and faithfulness. Thank You for the undeserved favor You bestow on me. Thank You for Your promises. I will give thanks to You, O Lord! Amen.
Isaiah 25:1/Psalms 30:5 NASB

Philippians 2:1-2

Jun7

Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being (that you be) of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.
Philippians 2:1‭-‬2 NASB

Because of Your sacrifice on the cross, Christ Jesus, I crucify the flesh with its passions and desires. I find comfort in Your love for me and through fellowship with the Spirit desire to live with and also walk by the Spirit. Make my heart tender and compassionate toward Your church, Your people. I pray we can be a people of the same mind, loving one another as You have commanded us to do, and work together with one mind and purpose for the church, kingdom and Your glory, Lord God. Amen
