Grateful! 3-21-25

Grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

Thanks to each of you who congratulated me on the forty-third anniversary of my new life. It really was encouraging; this is the reason. My natural birth was also important, because if there was no natural birth first, there could not have been a spiritual birth.

All this was God’s doing; Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations (Jeremiah 1:5).

Notice that God said before He formed us in the womb He knew us, (those in relationship with Him). To know someone, there has to be a relationship; therefore, from God’s perspective He always had a relationship with us.

God also said before we were burned He sanctified us and had ordained a specific ministry for each of us. In other words, He set us apart for a particular service (ministry) that would encourage others and glorify Him.

I am forever grateful to the Lord for who He is in my life. I thank Him because He is Sovereign Ruler and Supreme over all! Because of what the Lord has done for me; I will do everything possible to glorify Him.

I am going to run on because I know what the end is going to be! I praise the Lord in advance for however long He lengthens my days or years.

Thanks again readers for your congratulatory words of encouragement.
