May 2019 God tells us over and over to believe in HIm and to trust Him. When we take that personally our life is different! We can come to Him without any hesitation!

From the journal . . . . July 2004

Lord, people have a hard time believing in Your great love for them.  You sent Jesus. You sacrificed Your only and perfect son.  Yet each individual needs the personal touch from You as well.  Since Jesus paid the price of our sins we can receive Your personal and individual love.  I want to convey that to others.

And I believe God said . .

And that is your calling.  When you are teaching kindergartners, what do they need in order to learn?

They need to know it’s possible.  I think they also need to know that if they blow it, that they will still be safe.

Yes.  People need to know that I have paid the price for their sins.  They must believe, receive, and accept that as truth.  *The abundant life I have for them comes from going further in their faith.  They must dare to believe that I can and will use them to bring more glory to my name.  I will give them the joy and satisfaction of serving me.  Serving me takes faith and the courage to try.  Faith that I am good and I am able.  *Courage to persist even if it gets uncomfortable or disappointing.
 
You can’t do unconditional love as well as I can, but you can always do better than you have done.  Yes, as the preacher said, “Maybe you can’t swim across the lake but you can at least swim as far as the buoy”.

2Corinthians 9:8 NIV Deut. 31:6 NIV

Oh my Lord.  Please give me Your unconditional love for the people in my life.  And Your wisdom to express it in the most spiritually beneficial way.

I will.  Continue to ask me.  You are to encourage faith in me and my unconditional love for my people*.
 

Hebrews 10:23-25
