For the overflow of your love.

Grace and peace to you beloved of God,

 

My earnest prayer for you this morning is that the grace of God would work in your hearts rising up new affections for Him and joy in His word. May He also help you to grow in your love for His people. This morning Paul here captures accurately my heartfelt desire in Christ for you.

 

"I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation -the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ- for this will bring much glory and praise to God." Phil 1:9-11NLT 

 

Remember that "It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me"Galatians 2:20 ESV "for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure." Philippians 2:13 ESV. 

 

Don't go out into your day expecting that you can handle things. Instead prayerfully go out "by the strength that God supplies" from 1Peter 4:11, trusting joyfully in His grace to help you overflow in love to those in need around you. Then your day will be one that brings much honor and praise to the name of Christ.

 

For the Joy of Your Faith,

Teagan
