An Invitation

Meditate.

Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will keep you strong to the end so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Corinthians 1:7-9 

We can only wait for His glorious return.
Take time to fellowship with Jesus today.


God is faithful to the Christians. Paul wrote to the Christians in Corinth… to all Christians after that time. Those are the ones who believe in God’s Son as their Savior. Jesus Christ is the one who took everyone’s sins to the cross…the one who made them blameless. As we wait eagerly for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ we can rely on God to keep us strong to the end. The end. Yet the end is the like a new beginning. We actually begin our eternal life with Christ when we first believe in Him…but when He returns it is the beginning of our eternal life in Heaven with Him. Hallelujah!  What a great promises God has given us! He is faithful to do just what He has said.  We will be blameless as we stand before God on His Throne in Heaven. Blameless because Jesus has taken our sins to the cross Himself. We have been absolved of those sins. How great is that?!

You are cordially invited into a partnership, fellowship or relationship with God and with God’s Son, Jesus Christ. What would such a relationship look like? Sharing of everything that each one has; relying on the other; having the same mind-set; and enjoying the blessing from the intimate fellowship. Our greatest need in life is to be loved. Jesus offers the deepest level of love we can experience. He laid down His life for His friends…us. No greater love has a person than that. Can we offer Him any less love? He deserves more than we can even imagine.

 Prayer ~ I Praise You, LORD! I give thanks to You, LORD, for You are good! Your faithful love endures forever. From Psalm 106:1.

Verse of Salvation ~ This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners"—and I am the worst of them all. But God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of his great patience with even the worst sinners. Then others will realize that they, too, can believe in him and receive eternal life. All honor and glory to God forever and ever! He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies; he alone is God. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:15-17
