PJP2 THANKS TEXT - 161011 - LEGACY - Romans 8:14-17 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."For All who Are Led By The Spirit of God Are sons of God. For you Did NOT Receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, BUT you Have Received The Spirit Of Adoption as sons, By Whom we cry, 'Abba! Father!' The Spirit Himself Bears Witness With our spirit That We Are children of God, And IF children, Then heirs—heirs of God And Fellow heirs With Christ, Provided we Suffer With Him in order What we May Also Be Glorified With Him.".... LEGACY - Living/Learning that Eternal Grace Always Cares/Carries us in You I am Thankful for God's Grace and His Lovingly Adopting us as His children. Indeed having been raised in a loving and caring family, it does break my heart to know we have orphaned children struggling through our world. How devastating it would be for us all to be orphaned for Eternity due to our own selfishness and sinfulness. BUT, as we can see Throughout God's LOVE Letter to us, His WORD, He is Forever Calling Out to us, to Return to His Open Embrace of Grace and Fatherly LOVE. My Prayer of Thanks for us today would be - Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, we Thank and Praise You for Your Plan of Redemption which Results in Your Adopting us as Your children. Lord Jesus, Empower and Encourage us to Share Boldly that You Are Ever With us, Teaching us that we are Living/Learning that Your Eternal Grace Always Cares and Carries us in You. Holy Spirit, Thank You for Your Teaching as well. Father God, May we Ever Be Your Witness. In Your Holy Name, Lord Jesus, we Lift Up our Prayers and Thanks....Amen and Amen...jaj
