An encouraging mash up

I read this and wanted to share it with you: 

"Sometimes we are so busy thinking about our trials that we forget that God always gives us something good to enjoy, even in the midst of our difficulties."

I don't know the full magnitude of your trials and I can only imagine the weight of your burdens, but I pray that in the midst of your trials and until your triumph from your burdens, you will "rest in the reality of [His glorious] grace. . . ." and the reassuring promise that "all things work together for those who love God and are called according to his purpose..."   And, yes, all things really does mean all things. "The pain, the suffering, the tears, the depression — it all works together.  There’s grace enough" for it all and "for you." 

I hope grace infuses you and inspires you to have a better and more beautiful day than you imagined possible.  Love you

Quotes from John Piper, Lecrae, Romans 8:28, Upper Room Oct 2017

We are loved - no conditions, no fine print

Romans 5:8-11

God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!  For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!  Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Good Morning Theophilus

May we listen to the voice of the Lord; accepting His wisdom and correction, trusting in Him, and drawing near to Him, for He is our God.
May the eternal God, the Lord bring us, every morning, His justice, and each evening His never-failing love.
May the Lord our God, who "is in our midst, a mighty One who will save," rejoice over us with gladness; quiet us by his love; and exult over us with loud singing.
May the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of the 1st Adam and the God who is the 2nd Adam, bring fruitfulness, triumph, victory, loudest praise, and jubilant dancing to our day and our week. Have a fun filled and fabulous week! Love you, Cassius
