exceeding abundantly

Wherever I go, I am drawn to water.   It is the stuff of life.  I love waterfalls.  Their beauty always gives me a sense of deep satisfaction.  God is an amazing designer!  What a great thing He has blessed us with.  Not only do we get to enjoy drinking this amazing stuff that consists of 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atom, but we also get to enjoy watching it as it falls, twists, and winds its way down to the ocean.  Along the way and after its arrival we are blessed with the opportunity to use it to provide life, cleansing, power, and recreation.  All it really has to do is be there for us to drink and to carry off our waste, but it does so much more.  That is the kind of God that have.  He doesn't just do the basics. He goes above and beyond in everything that He does for us.  Take His love for us as an example. He didn't just love us and leave it at that.  He provided His only begotten Son as a sacrifice on the cross for our sins.  He died, and was raised again to give us, not just life, but Abundant life.  Not just life here and now that is free from the curse and condemnation of sin, but one that is eternal and spent with Him as His children.  Plus He is with us during what remains of this life after we have accepted His offer of salvation.  If you have not accepted His offer, won't you do so today?

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.                                                                                        Ephesians 3:20-21

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.                                                John 3:16

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas this year.  So thankful that several years ago, the Lord gave me the best gift I could have asked for, the salvation of my soul.  Such an underserved gift, but one given to me by God because of His great love.  Not because of what I was, but in spite of what I was.  The only thing that I had to do to receive it was to admit I was a sinner (not hard to prove) , and that Jesus (God in the flesh) came to live a sinless life and to die on the Cross for my sin and the sin of all the world.  So grateful  to be one of the “whosoever” will.  Thank you Father God, for the gift of your son, and for your Mercy and Grace! If you want to know Jesus as your savior, all you have to do is ask!  Most things in life are dependent on who you are, or who you know.  How much money or education you have?  Where you are from, or what color you are?  What you have done, or what you can do?  Whether you are docile, or aggressive?  How tall you are, or what sex you are?  S

It won't be very long - Morgan Williams (1928)   It won't be very long till this short life shall end, It won't be very long till Jesus shall descend; And then the dead in Christ from beds of clay shall rise To meet the Lord and King up yonder in the skies. Refrain: It won't be very long, It won't be very long Till Jesus shall appear, That day is drawing near; Will you be ready then To meet the ransomed throng? Get ready for that day, It won't be very long. It won't be very long till here we cease to roam, It won't be very long till all the saints get home; And then with smiling face we'll walk the streets of gold, And sing the Savior's praise where saints are never old. [Refrain] It won't be very long till burdens we lay down, It won't be very long till we'll receive a crown; And then we'll should and sing with angels round the throne, And when we meet up there, we'll know as we are known. [Refrain] It won't be very long
