Good morning / day to you dear readers!  I hope this finds you well.  After I shared my daily devotional this morning, I believe the Spirit of the Lord guided me here to share it with you as well.  If you have read the 7 days of Christmas Letters, I hope this is a blessing to you too.  If you have not read the 7 days of Christmas Letters, they are really letters of the Christian Life, and how to survive in this world after the miracle through Jesus, for the born-again believer, so don’t let the word “Christmas” detour you away from something the Lord may have waiting for you to learn in this life that God has So loved you to give LIFE to you, as a gift.  I hope you consider to make this Christmas series a series for To Day, with a new title….The 7 ~ “Days of LIFE” Letters :)

Today’s Bible verse is from Ephesians 4:31-32,

Discover why!!! Listen to The Bible App read Ephesians Chapter 4 to to you.

Choose a Bible Version that you can understand the language!

Don’t be afraid to get your information from the Bible!

Now, I sense the Spirit of the Lord giving me permission to share WHY God began teaching me Temperance…See the 7 Days of Christmas Letters...

The school library accepts donations of books.
Yet, when I offered to donate Adventure Bibles, I was rejected and told that the Bible may be offensive to have in the school library.

I kept silent, except but to say, I happen go know that the Bible is considered allowed in schools as a book teaching literature, history and art.
My blood was beginning to to boil, as I was surrounded by posters of the type of books that were found acceptable for our children to read at the school book fair. …but the LORD kept my mouth shut; and began teaching me that we who believe must add temperance to our knowledge!

… and so on… So that: God’s love may abound more and more!

Today, do not harden your heart to believe ♡

Rely on God. Let Christ magnifying in your life choices! Abide in the love of Jesus. Grow in your faith, by adding the nature of Christ in all things.

Let the MIND of Christ rule your day.

Put away those strong emotions that want to disobey God! Work out your own Salvation with fear and trembling in the powerful joy that discovered when we know and believe in the love God has for us.

Study the Bible as your lifeline to God. Stay connected to the Word of God to keep your heart free and full of Wisdom to choose with God’s blessings ♡

Trust in the Holy Spirit of the Lord! There is NO fear in the Lord that paralyzes us, rather “fear the Lord God” propells us to trust in the Almighty God, who is our Father and Whom loves us.

God will not change His Word, but guides us tenderly to walk in his ways…

I hope this inspires you to read your Bible like you don’t have a choice to breathe!

If you need a Bible, contact me ! It is my joy to place Bibles in the hands that long to open God’s love letter and learn the true character of God.

Meet Karen: Hi, I am blessed, by God's good grace and because I know Jesus, I am blessed. I choose to be blessed, because I have a choice set before me and I refuse to look down. I trust God and I know and believe in the love God has for us. I have overcome difficulties; and I am blessed by the grace of God alone. If I have written about it, then I have felt the pain of it in some way, and to some degree. Did you know that Jesus has felt your pain? This is why I write. By God's grace I can identify; and tell you honestly, yes there is hope in anything and everything that you are facing today! Jesus is our Hope! He is the Truth, the Way and the Life. I am married a wonderful man, Robert Rowe; I love my husband and he loves me; and we have been married for 28 years. Together, we have been blessed with a wonderful daughter, named Amanda who is college now; and a wonderful son, named Daniel who is growing up well and soon to graduate elementary school. We work together and by God's grace we run our own business called PSI. We have a pastor over our ministry and over our business and also we depend on him for advise in our family. We have 2 dogs, 4 horses, 2 cats and love to spend time outdoors by the water and by campfires ... that is it seems when we can find time away from life's busy schedule. I love to write because it helps me learn more about God. And, I am driven by a passion from a love that God has put in my heart to share from my experiences and struggles, as I gain understanding in God’s Word to know how effective and powerful God is over our every situation! I share with you so you can know that you are not alone in your struggles. The same God who helps me and my family, is your help and shield as well! Life is not always easy, but it is possible –I like to share the difference that following Jesus makes in my life. And, I love to share God's patience and mercy and love that is with me! I am not perfect, but am experiencing God sanctify me through and through with every mistake I make; and yes, overcome in Christ! Life is not just about the successes; life on this earth is also about the troubles we overcome to discover what God has hidden in our faith to find! Troubles are more a challenge to grow in our faith ... It is not easy, but in the end the grace of God we discover is worth experiencing God in the midst. By Grace, I have discovered Jesus is Peace and He is my Joy and Wisdom from Heaven. God is our Provider and Healer and Creator, who is our help and shield over all things. By grace, I have experienced a nearness to God through my faith in His Son! We are well forgiven by God; and well blessed when we know and believe the love that God has for us. To say, "all is well with my soul" is a powerful knowledge to understand and experience. I sense God's desire for you to know His love for you and how deep His love for you is that He has SO loved you; God gave you His Son. God loves you right now just as you are! There is so much to learn! I believe that as we learn from God, we are God’s gift to each other. It is all God’s story –and for His glory; and God has SO loved us. I love to paint the vision that God has given me about a Father’s love –that God wants you to dream again and visualize His love for you! In God’s eyes, there’s more to life than we see; and in a world that sometimes misrepresents and misunderstands God and love; God wants you to have the courage to dream His dream and see His vision of a Father’s love for you! Many years ago, I prayed to God, “How can I tell a million people what I know about Your Son?” God showed me I had a gift of a ministry about God's Love; and He called it Hope in Today! I write to please God and I write to encourage you; and I write to spend quiet time with God. All because of this love that God has first shown me! I need Jesus –and my life is about my relationship with God. And, every blessing begins with Him! Love in Christ, Karen Rowe, Director Hope in Today Ministries, Inc.
