A Grateful Giveaway!

Congratulations to readers AZ and Meredeezy on winning a copy of Mom's favorite coffee date devotional, Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace In His Presence!  Enjoy!

I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.  Because I live, you will live.  On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
John 14: 18-20

Did you hear that?  Jesus is talking to you and me.  He died and lives for us so that we can have life to the full.  He will come to you.  He will come to me.  He will dwell in us and enrich us beyond our wildest imaginations.  He is calling us to live in close relationship with Him.  No worries about being good enough for Jesus.  He is the one who can transform our biggest weaknesses, deepest wounds, and most blaring imperfections into glorious gifts for God's perfect purpose and glory.  We just have to accept His invitation.  As with any relationship, it takes time and work, but my life, your life, it is well worth it. 

You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

2 Corinthians 9:11

It is my hope and prayer that our stories of God's grace and mercy will continue to bless, encourage, and inspire others to grow in faith with God.  I truly believe that by sharing our faith with each other, both with friends and with strangers, we grow and learn so much.  So, I love hearing from you.  You are the inspiration for all that I write.  I want to encourage you to keep stepping out in faith.  Let's continue to support and strengthen each other on our faith journeys.  If you are reading this blog, God is bringing us together for a reason so keep believing, keep talking and keep sharing your stories with me.

I am so thankful for all God is doing in my life and in the lives of those who so generously share their faith with me. In honor of my Mom, and God's healing power in her life, I want to give away 3 copies of one of her favorite daily "coffee date" books, Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace In His Presence.  Details below.


A prayer for today-

Dear Loving Savior,

Thank you for being with me, for loving me, for hearing all my prayers, and for saving me by your grace.  Help me to deepen my relationship with you by sharing my faith with others.

In your Holy Name I Pray, Jesus,

Amen

Love of Christ fill you and heal you,
