Your perpetual glory, love, majesty, mercy, justice, beauty,

and grace surrounds your people like a royal restorative,

redeeming, gleaming, glorious glittering royal robe.

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

Psalm 107:2 (KJV)

If we are not pointing everyone

we meet to the riches, mercy,

forgiveness, grace, and love

of Jesus Christ our Lord, do

we really love Him as much

as we say we do. Verbally

proclaiming Jesus Christ as

we live for Him, this is true, loyal,

genuine, Christ-like abiding love!

May we be not just producers

of good works but bold, courageous

John the Baptist like proclaimers

of the great and glorious good

news that Jesus saves eternally,

forever and to the utmost all who

will but humbly repent of all their

sins. Halleluiah what a Savior.

To pursue a deeper relationship with

Jesus Christ, to please Jesus in all we

say and do should mean more to the true

authentic Christ-follower than money,

fame, power, or wealth. For the true

Christ-follower to please our Redeemer,

Creator, Friend, and King, this means

more than awards, positions, applause

wealth or popularity. For Jesus Christ,

King of Kings and Lord of Lords is truly

our hope, our focus, our victory, our life,

our glory, our beauty, our reward, our everything!

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.

Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV)

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world

Galatians 6:14 (KJV)

We are living in a world that thinks they can save

themselves by themselves and through good works.

No, no, no my friend, salvation is a glorious, gracious,

thrilling, marvelous, miraculous free gift through

faith alone not of works lest any man can boast.

Rhema, Rhema, rhema, may the Holy, living, inerrant,

life-giving, empowering Word of God jump off the page and

totally transform us moment by moment and day by day.

The gospel is always glorious.

The inerrant Bible is true.

Jesus is risen and is coming

soon even though we know

not when the signs are everywhere.

Joy, peace, victory, hope and

strength are ours through

Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Until our blessed hope

arrives, stand strong,

be bold, proclaim Christ,

and be filled with the

glittering gloriousness of

the grace-filled gospel news.

Redeemed, justified, sanctified,

all of this is the Christian’s perpetual

riches and because of our Savior’s

lavish grace, our constant praise.

Praise the name above all names,

Jesus Christ, King of Kings, and

Lord of Lords, our precious risen

Lord, Savior, and Shepherd King.

Repeat it, rehearse it, rest in the

riches of these doctrinal treasures,

redemption, justification, and sanctification.

For such eternal riches are forever and forever

and forever ours. Amen and Amen!

For the true authentic Christian,

the ability to make someone else

shine and be successful is the

beauty-filled evidentiary measure

that Jesus Christ truly reigns within.

If we but look for it, the divine and

Holy glory and exquisite beauty of

our Triune God is indeed everywhere.

If we but look, if we but look and see.

The more we look to our radiant and

precious Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

the more radiant we all will be, can be,

must be, shall be in this sin filled,

wicked world. Lord may we be

your light for all the world to see.
