God’s Beloved Child

In the beginning, you were birthed when I formed the heavens and the earth. From the foundation of the world you were in my mind; my unique, loved, precious design.

Close your eyes, my beloved child, and rest a while. Think on me, and you will see, Owner of heaven and earth, Creator of the universe.

Look closer. I am here; always near. Oh, my child, you, I love so dear. You are more precious than all the world! You, my child, are wrapped securely in my love from above.

You, my beloved child, are sweeter to me than the turtledoves. Stay with me. Stay with me. Stay with me, for I will never let you go, because I love you so!

Come away with me to that quiet place of love and safety, and see my Salvation for you and every nation. You my child, I will never forget; so do not fret. You are the best of my creation.

It is to you, my beloved child, I write this salutation.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 ESV

“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.” Ephesians 5:1 ESV

“My beloved is mine, and I am his; he grazes among the lilies.” Song of Solomon 2:16 ESV

Let us pray: Dear Lord, I will keep on thanking you for loving me, and that I am your beloved child, in Jesus name, amen.

Recharged In the Midst of This!

Welcome back to keeponthanking.com. As I return after a well needed and restful hiatus, I must say, I am recharged! Recharged in the strength of God! I feel so good to have had a break, a rest, a pause from my regular activities to pursue another of my passions. So here I am, recharged and ready to go! I pray you are, too!

While on hiatus, I am thankful to God to have finished the publication of my third book, In the Midst of This. It encourages us that as we go through various trials, there are some things we can do that will keep us grounded and holding on to our faith in God. In the Midst of This also encourages, we can be recharged when we steadfastly look to God in prayer and and apply other godly principles found in His Word.

So, as we are approaching the end of summer and most children have made it back to school, I hope you have had an exciting, fun-filled, and stimulating one. I also pray after this summer, you find yourself being recharged in the midst of whatever you may be still going through in order to pursue the passions of your heart with vigor, determination, expectation, and anticipation, all to the glory of God!

“But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31 ESV).

Please pray with me: Dear Lord, I will keep on thanking you for your renewed strength each and every day, in Jesus’ name, amen.

With love and gratitude, may the blessings of the Lord be with you always, and in the midst of what you are going through, praying that you go from strength to strength in Jesus name’, amen!
