What Counts

"It is the work that God does through us that counts, not what we do for Him"

Beloved...

We named our daughter Abigail.. which means "beloved". My husband bought a shirt with this verse on it.. and thought it would be a great verse for her. :)

Deuteronomy 33:12
"Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in Him, for He shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rests between His shoulders."

Fruit of the Spirit

Fruit of the Spirit

²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³gentleness and self-control. Galatians 5:22-23 (New International Version)

Praying that God would help me in these areas today with my 3 1/2 year old... especially patience, kindness, gentleness and self-control.

Renewed

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory
that far outweighs them all."

2 Corinthians 4:16-17

Safety & Security

"But whoever listens to me will dwell safely,
And will be secure,
without fear of evil."

God is Light

1 John 1:5-9 (New American Standard Bible)

⁵This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

⁶If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth;

⁷but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

⁸If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.

⁹If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
