Do not cut yourselves off from the LORD God’s help. God still says to sinners – the unsaved: “Even if you are stained as red as crimson, I can make you white as wool.” Isaiah 1:4,18 (TLB)

“May the LORD God bring you into an ever deeper understanding of the love of God and of the patience that comes from Christ.” 2Th 3:5 (TLB)

“. . . God chose us to be His very own, through what Christ would do for us; He decided to make us holy in His eyes, without a single fault—we who stand before Him covered with His love. His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into His own family by sending Jesus Christ to die for us.” Ephesians 1-5 (TLB)

Now all praise to God for His wonderful kindness to us and His favor that He has poured out upon us, because we belong to His dearly loved Son. So overflowing is His love for us that took away all our sins through the blood of His Son, by Whom we are saved; and He has showered down upon us the richness of His grace—for how well He understands us and knows what is best for us at all times.” Ephesians 1:6-8 (TLB)

Moreover, because of what Christ has done we have become gifts to God that He delights in, for as part of God’s sovereign plan we were chosen from the beginning to be His, and all things happen just as He decided long ago.” Ephesians 1:11 (TLB)

“And because of what Christ did, all you who heard the Good News about how to be saved, and trusted Christ, were marked as belonging to Christ by the Holy Spirit, Who long ago had been promised to all of us Christians. His presence within us is God’s guarantee that He really will give us all that He promised; and the Spirit’s seal upon us means that God has already purchased us and that He guarantees to bring us to Himself. . . .” Ephesians 1:13-14 (TLB)

“Say ‘THANK YOU’ to the LORD God for being so good, for always being so loving and kind. Has the LORD redeemed you? Then speak out! . . .” Psalm 107:1-2 (TLB)

“Then I heard the LORD asking, ‘Whom shall I send as a messenger to my people? Who will go?’ And I said, ‘LORD, I’ll go Send me.’” Isaiah 6:8 (TLB)

On a more personal note:  

I endeavor to make the LORD God the last person I speak to at night and the first person I speak to in the morning.  

At night, first I say,  

  • Blessed be the LORD God, my Abba Father by the blood of Jesus.
  • Blessed be Jesus the Anointed One, my Savior and my Lord.
  • Blessed be the Holy Spirit, my Comforter, Counselor and Teacher who reminds us of all things JESUS.  

Secondly, I say Psalm 34:7,  

  • “The Angel of the LORD encamps around those who revere God and delivers them.”  

In the morning, I say Luke 2:14 (with an add on),  

  • “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth good will to those on whom God’s favor rest.” And the favor of God rests on me by the redemptive work of Christ Jesus.  

Peace . . . Harriet
