The air exists as a matter of fact.

But until you learn about scientific knowledge, you don’t know it’s the truth of having air freely given for you to breathe in.

Likewise,

The Creator God exists as a matter of fact.

But until you learn through Jesus Christ, who comes to reveal Himself as the only God to you, you don’t know it’s the truth of having His grace freely given for you to be able to see Him in the eyes of heart.

The spiritual realm exists as a matter of fact.

But until you are filled with the Holy Spirit, who never forsakes you or leaves you as the God’s beloved child, you don’t know it’s the truth of having such a honorable privilege of God, who promises that He is your never-disappointed Hope.

“Such Hope (in God’s promises) never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Romans 5:5 AMP

Are you impatient with waiting for the holiday or a family trip to come?

Are you imagining all the fun things you want to do on that day?

Because the day is so worthy of waiting, each moment before that day becomes a joyful expectation.

Are you looking forward to Jesus Christ’s second coming?

Each day before that Day is a gift for us to expectantly pray in hope and joy. Each person He connects us is an opportunity to share His love.

When He comes again, there will be glory, honor and reward for your faith in Him.

“Because you are my Helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you, your strong right hand holds me securely.” Psalm 63:7-8 NLT

When you were immersed into the baptism of water, your old self was buried with Jesus Christ’s death on the cross.

When you arose from the water, your new self was born again with Jesus Christ’s resurrected life.

When you wholeheartedly surrender to Jesus Christ, His Holy Spirit pours down on you as the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

As a result, His power overflows like living water from your belly to speak His message.

From then on, you shall experience that the waves and breakers of God’s love will sweep over you like you stand under the roaring waterfalls, hearing the deep calls to deep through the prayers with other Spirit-filled saints.

What an ecstasy of joy and satisfaction to be overwhelmed by God’s outpouring love.

“But each day the Lord pours His unfailing love upon me, and through each night I sing His songs, praying to God who gives me life.” Psalm 42:8 NLT

What is perfect love?

When you receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, you embark the life-long journey of experiencing the fullness that He has fulfilled all the requirements of God’s righteousness on behalf of you on the cross.

When you thankfully imitate Jesus Christ to lay down your life, that is, honoring Him as your Lord more than your worldly ambitions, your path to the end becomes hopeful and joyful.

Therefore, you shall have the confidence to come to the day of judgement without any fear of punishment. (1 John 4:17)

Out of His perfect love, He has given you faith.

Through His unfailing love, He promises to complete your faith to the end.

なぜなら、イエス　キリストが失敗しないので。

“O my Strength, to you I sing praises, for you, O God, are my Refuge, the God who shows me unfailing love.” Psalm 59:17 NLT

Humane care may bring temporary comfort, but

God’s care brings the power of life because He is the life-giver.

When you believe and trust in God, 

Who can help the powerless against the mighty (2 Chronicles 14:7), 

Who can strike down your spiritual enemies,

Who is with you in the midst of storms,

You know you are the apple of His eye.

“I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul.” Psalm 31:7 NLT

Do you feel what you are doing is so small that no one pays any attention?

Do you know that God grows a tiny acorn to be a solid oak in His time?

Nothing can become big without first being small.

Nothing God calls us to do is servile.

No mistakes can override my identity in Jesus Christ as His protected, justified saint.

No devil’s attack can overpower God’s grace in me.

May we surrender ourselves to His loving mighty hand as His servants of righteousness, so that He will bring us deeper into true holiness (Romans 6:19). 

“I love you, Lord. You are my strength. The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, and my Savior. My God is my Rock, in whom I find protection. He is my Shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.” Psalm 18:1-2 NLT

What is your memorable Christmas gift?

Have you ever recalled clearly about the giver because you love that gift so much?

Jesus Christ is the best Gift for you when you know your spirit has been healed so that you are enabled to hear His loving voice.

Today, thank Him for His wonderful gift of healing your soul and remember Him, the Giver, who has been so good to you even before you knew Him and continuing to reveal His love to you.

“God spoke the words ‘Be healed,’ and we were healed, delivered from death’s door.” Psalm 107:20 TPT

I am free from devil’s condemning charges against me. (Romans 8:31)
