I John 3:1-3 - Karlyn

Happy Monday Morning!

You are soo right this year has flown by.  When I look back I think it's been a little slower than the past few years.  October usually flies by and I wonder how I got to December so fast but this month has been really good.  I've intentionally tried to slow down the pace of our lives.  There's things I've missed out on b/c of that but it has made life a whole lot less stressful.  It's nice not to be busy 7 days a week from sun up to sun down.  Hopefully we can carry over through 2012!

S - See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are.  For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know him.  Beloved now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be.  We know that when he appears, we will be like him, because we will see Him just as he is.  And everyone who has this hope fixed on him purifies himself, just as he is pure.

O - Can I get a HALLELUJAH!!!  This is exactly what I need to hear on a MONDAY morning and every morning for that matter. We are so BLESSED with a love from the ALMIGHTY and we are HIS CHILDREN.  And the hope I have in him purifies me to be just like him!!!!

A - There are many times when I start self centered thinking and it puts me in a bad mood full of jealousy, pity on myself, and wondering who am I?  This passage needs to be on the tip of my tongue.  The world doesn't like me and that's fine b/c I have an ALMIGHTY FATHER who loves me with HIS love not the world's, purifies me, and makes me into a new creation just like HIM!

P - Lord thank you that there is NO other love like yours.  I praise you that I can confess my sins to you and you purify me to be like you.  I can't wait for the day that you come back for us and take us from a world that doesn't know you or love you.  Help me today to be a light for you.
