You are dearly loved.    
Philippians 4:6-7 NLT 
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Dearly loved. 
Psalm 147:3 3 
He heals the broken-hearted  and binds up their wounds.  
Thinking of u this sunday morning.

Or would you rather i sent u some books?  http://marshill.com/media/rebels-guide-to-joy 

Hebrews 13:20-21 NLT  

Now may the God of peace— who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, and ratified an eternal covenant with his blood— may he equip you with all you need for doing his will. May he produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to him. All glory to him forever and ever! Amen.  :)

I believe nothing can seperate us from his love
Nothing I can ever do nothing I've ever done
There's nothing too impossible for him to overcome
He's God Almighty Man
There's nothing new under the sun
He is the only way
He is the only life
The only life worth living in his eternal light
He is my motivation
My only inspiration
Granting salvation to people from every nation
I believe that Jesus came to set the world free
And even if I don't believe in God
God believes in me.


Dearly Loved  
Colossians 3:12-14 NIV  
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

1 John 4:10 NLT  
This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

Joshua 1:7-9 NLT  
Be strong and very courageous.  Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you.  Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left.  Then you will be successful in everything you do.  Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it.  Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.  This is my command—be strong and courageous!  Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” 

Dearly Loved. 
John 1:1-5 NLT  In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.  The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.

John 1:9-12 NLT   
The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.  He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him. He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.

Poetry Thursday :)   
My hope is built on nothing less 
Than Jesus blood and righteousness 
I dare not trust the sweetest frame 
But wholly trust in Jesus name  
Christ alone 
cornerstone 
Weak made strong
in the Saviour's love 
Through the storm
He is Lord 
Lord of all  
When Darkness seems to hide His face 
I rest on His unchanging grace 
In every high and stormy gale 
My anchor holds within the veil  
When He shall come with trumpet sound, 
Oh, may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless stand before the throne.  
Christ alone
cornerstone 
Weak made strong 
in the Saviour's love 
Through the storm
He is Lord 
Lord of all 

Fridays Proverb 
Proverbs 3 MSG  
 Don't lose your grip on Love and Loyalty. Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart. Earn a reputation for living well in God's eyes and the eyes of the people.        Trust God from the bottom of your heart;  don't try to figure out everything on your own.

Dearly loved. 
Romans 5. The Msg  
We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him.

James 1:4 MSG  
Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way. 

John 1:9-12 NLT  
The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.  He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him. He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.


Colossians 1:18 MSG   
We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God's original purpose in everything created. For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment.

Dearly loved.  
No one has ever gone to heaven and returned. But the Son of Man has come down from heaven. And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life.  “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.  
John 3:13-17 NLT 

Poetry Thursday 
Shout with joy to the LORD,  all the earth!   
Worship the LORD with gladness. 
Come before him, singing with joy. 
Acknowledge that the LORD is God! 
He made us, and we are his. 
We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.  
Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. 
Give thanks to him and praise his name.  
For the LORD is good. 
His unfailing love continues forever, 
and his faithfulness continues to each generation. 
Ps 100 

Friday's Proverb...  
Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. 
For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold. 
Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. 
Prov 3 NLT

Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,  for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can't see - such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. Colossians 1:15-16 NLT OK so this is an English translation of a letter Paul wrote to a church 2,000 years ago, but does it feel like Paul is wrestling with words and ideas to try and capture all of who Jesus is, of who God is, of how does it work that the walking around Jesus was also there before the beginning of the beginning of everything we can see and touch and know. Not only that but Jesus was somehow the agent of everything that has been made in the physical, social, and spiritual.  Jesus is at the centre of it all.  Walking around Jesus. Cooking fish for breakfast Jesus. Heart aching as he ...
As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside privately and told them what was going to happen to him.  "Listen," he said,  "we're going up to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man will be betrayed to the leading priests and the teachers of religious law.  They will sentence him to die. Then they will hand him over to the Romans to be mocked,  flogged with a whip,  and crucified.  But on the third day he will be raised from the dead." Matthew 20:17-20 NLT Jesus wanted his team, those closest to him, to know what was going to happen next.  It seems he wanted them to be prepared.  To be able to hold the hope of what's at the end as they go through the watching him be betrayed, sentenced, mocked, abused, and killed.  I wonder if Jesus needed to tell them, to let those he knew best what was ahead because he needed them with him. Jesus wanted community in the most difficult of times. It's no wonder that we do too.  We're in...
Now rescue your beloved people. Answer and save us by your power. ... Who will bring me into the fortified city?  Who will bring me victory over Edom? Have you rejected us, O God?  Will you no longer march with our armies?Oh, please help us against our enemies,  for all human help is useless. With God's help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes. Psalm 108 6, 10-13 NLT After the most beautiful and uplifting worshipful first half to this song, David takes us somewhere completely different in the second half.  It's all about victory, power, winning, it's all about him. The "mighty things" he wants God to do are all on the outside, all about power, and David's writing sounds like he's a bit lost in his quest to win. And I do the same thing. Praise God and ask him to fix my problems. Fix the classroom/online/workplace bully, fix my finances, fix my relationships, fix my problems. So as I sit with this psalm of 2 halves, its a bit of a mir...
