Romans 10:13-14 ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ 14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?

May you be certain that God will reveal what He is going to do, and His instruments are not always those we would think to choose, but He will keep you for such a time as this, when your part of the plan is ready, prepared and available, so redeem the time in your daily duties, showing forth the praises of God.

Genesis 42

May you always show grace to those around you, just as God causes His sun to rise and sends the rain to fall on the just and unjust alike, nourishing the roots of each, for only when the seeds are mature will His ministering angels separate between the two. Matthew 13, Matthew 5

May your expression of God’s unconditional love and non-judgmental grace to those around you be contagious, and spread like yeast through bread dough until it has reached each person. Matthew 13

My promise to you, My child, is secure and solid, since it is made on the surety and guarantee of My reputation. I am holy and righteous, and I do not lie nor do I change. I will fulfill My promise to you, which is not made lightly, but willingly with full awareness of the cost, even to My own hurt.
My blood, though shed in hatred and anger, speaks mercy and peace to all, not revenge, and draws you to Me in love, for even those who shed My blood were only pawns, influenced by My enemy. They, too, were given grace to come to Me, for My promise extends to each of them, in whose number you were once counted.
Do not be reluctant, My beloved, for the harm you once sought to cause, though intended for evil, has turned for good. Through the expression of My mercy to you, others can find hope where the tormentor of their souls had hidden it under a burden of despair. Through the evidence of My grace to you, those who hear of it will see love demonstrated that brings light to the darkness that has covered their souls.
Speak the truth of My Word to others, not fearing for your reputation, for it is Me that you are exalting, and the Father rewards those who honor the Son.

May you express your love through praise and your gratitude in honor to the Lord, your Rock and Fortress, in Whom you take refuge, and by Whom you are delivered, for the strength which He has given you and the salvation He has purchased. Psalm 18

Psalm 18
