Luke 12, John 3, Eph 2

I am in the kingdom of Almighty God who loves me, and everything is good. Even the darkness is light to God who is able and active to work out all things to suit his purpose.  His purpose is to glorify himself in his creation, and to redeem his own people out of a lost and contrary flock.

I am thankful that while I was dead in my trespasses and sins my heavenly father saw me and set up circumstances to hem me in. He brought life and light to my heart to detest what I had become and to desire what he would make of me. I was born again by the Holy Spirit and a new men moved into me and took charge of this fleshly vessel. The strength of my soul is increased and my heart is calmed and quieted before the Lord.  What a glorious exchange. Old for new, human for Divine, bondage to freedom, temporal for eternal, peace instead of furor.
