God's fullness in Christ

I was pondering this scripture verse this morning: Colossians 1:19 "For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ."

And I could not help but think that as Jesus came to Jerusalem on what we now call Palm Sunday, our Heavenly Father was in Him, marching to the cross to show His amazing love for His children. When I think of Jesus going from town to town proclaiming the Good News of His Kingdom, that our Heavenly Father was in Him, loving, caring, and reaching out to the lost whom He cares so much for. When I see Jesus, I see my Heavenly Father. Jesus said in John 14:9: "...He who has seen me has seen the Father..."

I encourage you to think about your Heavenly Father in Christ, reaching out to love and save you. What love!

Colossians 1:20

And through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ's blood on the cross.

Be blessed as you walk with the God who loves you so much He sent His Son to take the punishment for your sins.

The blessing of Jesus upon you

Psalm 139:5 NLT

You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.

While reading this Bible verse, I was thinking of the blessing of Jesus upon my head! All through my life, Jesus has been there, protecting and guiding. Now, don't get me wrong. I haven't been a saint all those years, but in spite of me, Jesus has loved, cared for, protected, and brought me to the truth about Himself. He never gave up on me, and I know He will never give up on you. Look to Jesus right now and thank Him for His hand of blessing on your head!

Deuteronomy 33:27 reads:

The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.

Think of you and Jesus today and His everlasting arms underneath you to love and guide you.

A changed heart for Jesus

Jeremiah 32:39 says, "And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:"  Reading this I think of God giving believers a Jesus loving heart! That's a one way heart! 

Another Bible verse here in John 14:6:  Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

Jesus also said in John 10:9:  I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.

And I like what it says in Ephesians 2:18:  For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

Isn't that great? God has this gigantic love call to all human beings here on earth. He's calling one and all to experience His love and forgiveness through His son, Jesus Christ. If you know the Lord's forgiveness, then rejoice. If you have not sought His forgiveness, then repent. Remember, Jesus loves you and is just a prayer away.

God is actively caring for you

Psalms 56:8
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

Our Heavenly Father is aware of our every step and misstep throughout our lives, from birth until death. Nothing we do is a surprise to Him. Furthermore, He actively cares for us, protects us, and guides us.

Here are some other Bible verses that affirm God's intimate involvement in our life's journey:

Psalms 105:13-14
When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

Psalms 121:8
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

And here are two more on this theme:

Hebrews 11:8
By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

Hebrews 11:13
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

Be encouraged. God has taken care of you so far. And He will continue till that day when He says "Well done good and faithful servant!"
