I am reading 40 Days with Jesus, Celebrating His Presence by Sarah Young.
40 days before Easter.
The Lenten Season.
I read this today. After my post on Friday this was a blessing.
"I am able to keep you from stumbling. I know how weak your are: how easily you would stumble if I were not holding on to you. I can also present you faultless before the Presence of My Glory. You are growing in grace, but complete freedom from sin will not be possible until you leave this fallen world. Nonetheless, because you truly trust Me as Savior I keep your from stumbling in the ultimate sense: I won't let you lose your salvation.
I am able to present you faultless - blameless, perfect, unblemished - before the Presence of My Glory because I have clothed you with garments of salvation and arrayed you in a robe of righteousness. I want you to wear this royal robe with confidence. You are absolutely secure because it is My righteousness that saves you - not yours.
Rejoice!"
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forevermore. Amen (Jude 24-25)
For Reflection: Isaiah 61:10; 1 Peter 1:3-4
Such amazing promises! Rejoice indeed!

Exceeding Joy is for both you and Me, I delight in you now, but this Joy will be astronomically magnified when you join Me in Glory. The Joy you will experience in heaven is so far beyond anything you have known on earth that it is indescribable. Nothing can rob you of this glorious inheritance which is imperishable and will not fade away.

He IS able, isn't He!
I was reminded of that again and again this week
(and I needed it)
Your post played over my heartstrings
when I read it
and I reminded myself
to come back and soak awhile here.
So glad I did.
He is faithful
and will finish what He has started in us.
LOVE Him for that.
Love to you for this reminder
and just because you're beautiful you:)
