How Do You Put It In Words?

Dearly beloved, there just aren’t words to express how we feel at times; what is in our heart; words that express our love for God and His Son and for one another. What could we possibly say to completely express it? How do we put it in words? I guess that’s why He gave us a new language to expresses it.

Our hearts are filled with thankfulness for the exceeding great grace our Father showed us in Christ. Beloved, He saved us by Christ’s work; we have eternal life because of the divine favor He showed us in him. What could we possibly say that expresses the thankfulness that fills our hearts for His love for us?

Think of the joy that fills our lives because we have fellowship with the Father and with His Son. What could you and I ever have done to deserve such an awesome privilege as this? He called us in Christ to be holy and without blame before Him. Beloved, it wasn't our idea to somehow make Him walk with us; He wanted to walk with us.

He blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm in Christ. It is the good pleasure of His will to bless us in Christ and He freely gives us all things with him. His will is only good towards us. Our Father is the Living God, not some fictitious religious idol that can’t hear our prayers, see our needs, or demonstrate His love for us by His energizing power to deliver us.

We have peace that passes human understanding because we know that Almighty God is our Father, He supplies all our need. We dwell in His presence; He is always at hand to deliver us.

At times the comfort of the hope we have in Christ overwhelms me, yet it was the good pleasure of His will to provide it for us in Christ. The purpose of the ages that He purposed in Christ is the fulfillment of His promise of life to us. It will take Him the ages to come to display the exceeding riches of His grace to us in Christ and He is going to do perform it with His loving kindness and His tender mercies towards us.

Yes, there are times of sorrow for those who have fallen asleep, but we know that they will live again with us when Christ returns for the members of his body, the church. His comfort is the only thing that heals our hearts from the sting of death. We don’t need a false hope; we have the real thing. We are not like those who have no hope.

How could our hearts not be filled with compassion for those who do not know our Father? How can we not stretch forth our hands and minister deliverance to those who will listen? Compassion stirs our souls.

We feel grief when our loved ones suffer in body, mind, or spirit. At times it is overwhelming. Pray. Minister. Speak fitly spoken words that comfort, lift, and minister deliverance and serve them life. We don’t need to be miserable comforters; there are plenty of them. Open your heart with the love of God that fills your heart and mind and energizes your spiritual ability to minister deliverance.

Dearly beloved, a day can be like a roller coaster as we walk with Him through this life. Regardless of what the day may hold, dearly beloved, we can be confident that as God has spoken, so it shall be. We shall not be moved! Our believing and trust is in Him that delivers whether by little or by much. He is our all in all. We hide His Word in our hearts so we can walk with Him.

Have the confidence that He made you more than a conqueror in Christ. You have the victory that overcomes the world. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. You are enabled by His spirit. He that is in you is greater than he that is in the world. You are as Christ is.

As you step out on His Word, He will make it alive, energetic, and powerful. It will bring about the results He promises; it cannot do less. It will effectually work in you that believe. Stand still and see the salvation of our God, dear ones.

Dearly beloved, we may not be able to express all that is in our hearts, but our Father has expressed what is in His concerning us. He wrote it down for us. We are His dearly beloved.
