Let's Get Started

Hello.
I don't know what I am going to be saying in this blog. A lot of it will be guided by you, my friends, or by events in my life. I pray that I never say anything that isn't ordained by my Savior, Jesus Christ.
He laid it on my heart to begin this blog.
I am often surprised at how we, the children of the King of Kings, myself most of all, fail to live as royalty. We accept poor and abusive treatment, or worse, we inflict it on others.
We allow others to talk about our Father, our Savior, our Creator, in a way that is so much less than He deserves! We often forget that He loved each of us so very much that he turned His back on His Son, allowing US to kill Him! He loved EACH of us this much... do we ever stop to realize that if only ONE of us had accepted the plan of Salvation, the PLAN would still have been put into motion?
What a concept! ONE of us was worth His best One! How He loves us! Oh, how He loves us!
My challenge for all of us today is to Thank Him, at least once each day for that!
If we start and end our day with that thought, with that thanks in our hearts, there really can't be anything that can ruin us!
We spend twenty minutes or more cleaning house, chatting on Facebook, responding to emails, chatting, etc. We spend an hour or more each week holding a grudge (yes, I am guilty of that, too) or being angry with someone over a word said about or to us.
Can we spend ten minutes, five each morning and five each night, holding onto that thought? The thought that he loves us so much that ONE of us would have been enough for Him to give His life.
And let NO ONE convince you that His life was taken-oh, no, my friends... HE GAVE IT! WILLINGLY, LOVINGLY, WILLFULLY, so that we could know this Love!
John 3:16 says, "for God so loved the world (you and I) that He gave His ONLY begotten Son, that whosoever (you and I) believeth in Him should not perih, but have EVERLASTING life"... have you ever actually grasped that? Whoseover surely meaneth me, as the song says...
Does whoseoever meaneth you?
