You
Set Me Free (1 Cor 10:13, Gal 5:13-6:10, Phil
3:7-12, Eph 2:1-9)
Paul told us in Romans that what he wanted to do, he
did not do; and what he did not want to do, that is what
he did. Walking
the
straight and narrow is difficult, especially when it seems
all eyes are on you just waiting for an opportunity to
see you fall. As a
Christian, I am still a sinful being. Temptation beckons
me like everyone else. Yet I am released from the burden
of
sin through the
forgiveness that is mine in Jesus. I only pray that people
can see the grace of God working in my life and the love
I have for Him rather
than my human shortcomings. Proclaiming the name of Christ
isn’t
a responsibility I take lightly. --- Cheryl

Glory
Days (Ecc 4:912, SS 2:10-13, Rom 8:22-24)
When I think of glory days, I look to the future when we
will see our creator, our God, our loving King. It will be
a glorious
day
for those who believe in Christ. God’s Word says,
“ We know that the whole creation has
been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the
present time. Not only so, but
we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait
eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
For
in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope
at all. Who hopes for what he already has"? (Romans 8:22-24)
As I was looking heavenward, I came to realize that we
are currently living in glory days. Each day is a
new beginning.
God is with us
every step of the way. This life teaches us to trust in
God. He is our hope – a hope that is unseen. What a blessing it is to
share this hope with my loving husband who is also in love with our
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. My husband, Chuck, is a wonderful
blessing in my life. As we run through this life, hand in hand, together
we’ll press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God
has called us heavenward in Christ Jesus – full of
hope, full of smiles, full of love. These are the Glory
Days, sharing
this hope
with the ones we love. --- Sharon
