Welcome

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.—2 Corinthians 13:14 (KJV)Thoughts on Today's Verse...I have a friend in Jesus who has taught me the power of sharing a spiritual blessing with others. We share a conviction: Many times in life, ministry, and trial, people need way "more than my words"! Oh, for sure, they do need to hear from me. But my words are earthbound and relatively unproven. The Scriptures, however, are full of proven, inspired, and powerful blessings and prayers. They are way "more than my words"! Which brings us to today's verse. I can't think of a better blessing that is way "more than my words" than this short blessing from the apostle Paul: grace, love, and fellowship, all rooted in the eternal, sacrificial, and gracious nature of our God, are captured in this one short and amazing blessing! May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. And we share these blessings with God's children from all around the world, so let's remind each other how blessed we are by sharing this grace-filled blessing with those who might need it.My Prayer...Father, I am thinking of several precious friends who need this blessing to fall richly upon them. Please bless them graciously, fully, overflowingly. Please be real to them as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. May they experience Jesus' grace, the Father's love, and the fellowship of other believers through the Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name, I ask for this grace. Amen.All scripture quotations, unless otherwise indicated, are taken from the HOLY BIBLE, NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION. © 1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by International Bible Society.
