I am a child of the one true God - September 18, 2021

I am a child of the one true God. His name is Jesus. He freely gave every drop of His life essence to cleanse me from sin. He has rescued me from hells fate. He has caused His Salvation to pump through my mortal veins.

I once was of this world now of it I no longer take part. Now as my path continues in Christ I notice my path necessarily departs further and further from the path I was once on. Sin no longer has a hold on me. I no longer fear it's penalty.

To stay on this path will cost me all that I am. I must needs be cleansed daily in the blood of the spotless lamb. It is not that I repeat the sins of yesterday for that is not repentance. I look to my heart for the new areas that must be surrendered on this day.

So I no longer chase the things I once did. I no longer try to find my happiness, peace and fulfillment in a world filled with sin. Anything found outside of God can only steal, kill and destroy. So a heart more and more filled with Christ I shall daily employ.

Dearest Father let Salvations song ring. Let it fill my heart and then my country. Let it move our hearts from sea to shining sea. Let our souls be once more found in liberty. We look not to man. As Your children we look only to You.

My Heart is Moved Greatly in Love of My Jesus - September 24, 2021

My heart is moved greatly in love of my Jesus. I know very well His story. My mind abides on the price He paid. Of an assurity His body on the cross He laid. None else had the power to keep Him there but the power of His own love.

So after salvation I now have a new purpose. I no longer look for what I want. The things I love daily must change. Let a closer walk with You dear Jesus be my song. Walking hand in hand with You is where I belong.

So dear Jesus after a right understanding of Your purpose in my life I want to make my heart known. My soul longs to be united with You. I long to go to the eternal home You have prepared for me.

Jesus let my heart be ready when You come back for Your church. Dearest Jesus my being cries out to the people who would bear Your name. Will faith be found amongst us when You return? Will we be found in Your service.

You gave Yourself for us dear Jesus and You held nothing back. What a true and wonderful Savior You are. May my heart ever be tender to hear Your precious call. May You cause us to understand the type of the church that will go at the first call. Cause us to lay aside all sins and weights and love You above all.

Lord Jesus I Fear no Fate for I Love You - September 23, 2021

Lord Jesus I fear no fate for I love You.

Wash me and cleanse me anew that I might dwell in Your salvation.

The worlds trouble does not bring anxiety to my heart.

Once more this morning I lay my cares at Your feet.

My mortal mind does not understand everything but my spirit is unbending in its trust of You.

I surely know there is nothing that You cannot do.

So I serve You because You are faithful.

I love You because You first loved me.

Who are we dear Father in heaven that You should be mindful of us?

That You should send Jesus to die in my place I am unworthy of.

Build Your kingdom in my heart.

Renew my body is my prayer.

Restore my mind dear Jesus.

There is no other name whereby men must be saved so I look to You.

I wait for Your touch to heal me through and through.

Wash and cleanse my spirit each new day.

In my emotions let the devil find no place.

Bring Your presence once more upon us Jesus that we might know You.

I pray for a nation that has forgotten You Jesus.

Show unto us our need of You.

Make our frailty a daily reality in our lives that we run to You in our weakness.

Today Father and Son Walk Hand in Hand - September 22, 2020

Today Father and son walk hand in hand.

I look at Him and say there are things happening I do not yet understand.

He says I don't mean for you everything to know. My grace and mercy to you I show.

I stand in the gap for you and don't share my whole burden.

So I bow before Him in worship and praise.

My devotion will not be swayed.

These things do not greatly move me.

I still have my balance I still have my peace.

Lord give me the strength and wisdom to stand in the gap for others as You stood for me.

You are the perfect example of everything I should be.

Let Your church arise and give us war against satan.

Lord Jesus Make Me Holy as You are Holy - September 21, 2021

Lord Jesus make me holy as You are holy.

I know that it is not a checklist that I keep track of. I know also it is not a destination in this life I shall fully reach.

I am not giving sin license but quite the opposite Father. Cause me to see in my heart where I am unlike You. Encourage me to sell out in my pursuit of You. May I never say I am good enough. May I never in selfish desire anything consume.

Dear Jesus it is true anything placed before You is sin. Knowing this my journey to Gods holiness can begin.

Cause me to be holy as You are holy. Take more of me each day that I might be filled with more of You.

As I study Your word cause me more of Your truth to consume that I see my lack. Give me the wisdom to deal with that which is slack.

As my journey continues in You I know I shall look and talk less and less like the world. If this does not happen then I am not found in pursuit of You.

Father You have promised me war and I do not make my peace with where I am at. I love not this world or anything it holds.

Cause me to chase Your approval Father in the light of Your word.

Thank You for the leaders You have placed over me that skillfully wield the Spirits sword. So Lord remove more of me each day that I may alway travel on the path of holiness.

When I kneel physically at Your throne that is when I will have attained to Your holiness. Not by anything I have done but because of the shed blood of Your only Son.
