"Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His Glory with exceeding joy." Jude 1:24. Faulty but always faultless. Faulty in all this sin I sit. Faultless because I will never be condemned for the Suffering Savior extended Full Mercy and my sins are all paid in full. Leaving behind these faults of twenty-fourteen.
And so I end this year here. Let me say that I am deeply grateful to those of you who have read throughout the year. I know there are a few of you who never comment but read the blog. Very grateful for all my friends here. Means much to me.
And here is the last word. Revelation 21:5. The Uncreated One is sitting on a Throne. And He says to you and me this twilight night: "Behold, I am making all things new." Progressive Tense. Ongoing. Will never stop as long as we have breath, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true." Amen!
COME BOLDLY: Timeless Prayers
Oh Father, My sin has bothered me much this season. Your hope has hovered and covered me way more. I'm still dark in the woods. But, it's all right. For I can feel Your Hand in the dark even though I do not see. You are making all things new! Don't stop! Help me write and live and love. Come Lord Jesus!

Happy New Year 2015 to each of you. There have been so many lovely moments of this year shared with you and for that I am so grateful. You've prayed for me as I finished my cancer meds; you've encouraged me deeply through all life's twists & turns; you've offered me hope to move on. My community where I live is so small right now. I will continue to embrace whatever is in God's scheme. So, it really means a lot to me to have this little place here knowing some of you check in here and there. I love you dearly. Thanks for walking alongside, wandering yet wondering together. With hands over our mouths. May you find love and rest in 2015. Under the Mercy!
ReplyDeleteI know there have been a couple of you who have read throughout the year. Leave a comment if you would like. Would love to hear from any of you who visit here. For me, it has not been about how many comments or hits. It's a place I love to be every day in His Word. I'll continue in 2015 reading Genesis to Revelation, posting the verses that are the CIT, central ideal of the text, and then praying those verses for us all. Write, these words of God are faithful and true.
ReplyDeleteDon't know what I would do IF i could not read your thoughts on a daily reading from the Word. Your words always bless me so. "see you next year"....
ReplyDeleteI'll read in 2015.I can't imagine a day without reading your blog and love your photos.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is a sweet place of refuge for me now for many years. Love all of your hearts--your journeys are sacred and authentic. We rest here in the sweet grace and mercy of Christ. Thank you, Bev, for all that you give and share to make this such a blessing.
