Let her Rejoice

And what does it take for a Mother to rejoice over her children? For me, another verse of Scripture comes to mind to complement our featured verse for today.
3 John 1:4
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

Mothers and Daddies have reason to be glad when their children walk in the Truth of GOD; when they make godly choices, when they reverence The LORD GOD, when they are marked with humility and kindness, when they come hold our hands as we age.
I have many reasons to rejoice: daughters, sons-in-love, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I am glad! ♥

So, the message to children of all ages is let your father and mother be glad, give them reasons to be glad, walk in Truth, GOD’s Truth. And for those of us whose parents have escaped this mortal life and have entered GOD’s Paradise, we can continue to honor them by walking in GOD’s Truth until we see them again.

Today is my firstborn’s birthday. She has given me many reasons to rejoice.

Before

Before our mothers even knew about us, GOD knew, and He knew when we would say yes to Him. Yes, in saving faith. Yes, that we would surrender our mouths, O LORD, to speak Your Word to the Nations.

Holding Forth

Anything in My Name.
So often I hear “in the Name of Jesus,” and with it, the connotation is ‘I said it in His Name, so He is obligated to do it.’ It’s like, as long as we use His name, it’s as good as done. And if it is, in fact, in His Name, it is as good as done.

My Search Assist online said ‘in the name’ means: “This usage implies that the person is representing another’s interests or authority.” source

That’s pretty plain to me. What we name, Yeshua, better have already named it to us by His Spirit and confirmed it by His Word, if we expect to see it come to be. We’d best be cautious with our naming things, wouldn’t you agree?
I mean, if He has revealed a matter to us by His Spirit and confirmed it by His Word, we can surely know whatever it is, will be, in His time. And if He has not, well, we don’t want it anyway, or we shouldn’t!

Blessed, Blessed

We have heard it said. Blessed, blessed, so blessed!
And it’s true, if we are known by Yeshua in the forgiveness of our sin, we are blessed. Immeasurably blessed! Let’s not keep it to ourselves. Others need this blessing too! And if we don’t proclaim it to them, who will?

I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
