Daily Devotion to God’s Holy Word.

A Time to Refresh and Renew, By Karen Rowe

Yesterday, was a 9-9 work day ~ cleaning & painting a house we can only describe as filth … But as I was cleaning & later painting, the Lord gave me a powerful message to share!

Thoughts come to my mind, I could not share the pictures of the horrid condition of THIS house … the thought continued, because no one would want to live in a house knowing how filthy the condition was…

BUT THE LORD spoke to my heart as I was cleaning; and said, YES THEY WILL, BECAUSE it is NOT the same! It has been MADE clean!

Then the Lord was opening my eyes to see the cleansing power of God in us – the Blood of Jesus washes our sins away, like the water took the filth and grime away!

Have you ever noticed how water can hold dirt & still run clean? It was an amazing time WORKING AS this transformation took place!

Friends, as Paul wrote to us!

My purpose, then, was not to write about who did the wrong or who was wronged. I wrote to you SO THAT in the sight of God YOU COULD SEE …
2 Co 7:12 NLT

Your Value!

So that …

You could see your value!

Paul writes to us

Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us WORK TOWARD COMPLETE holiness BECAUSE we fear God.
2 Co 7:1 NLT

Paul wrote to a higher purpose; This letter is not to the world, but the church. FOR godly sorrow WORKETH REPENTANCE TO SALVATION not to be repented of(freedom IN Christ): BUT the sorrow of the world worketh death (10)

Did Paul’s letter cause some offense?

Read on to see what Paul saw!

Friends, as the Lord showed me, not everyone knows how to clean – IT’S by ONLY JESUS & BY the power of the Holy Spirit – gifts of Wisdom, knowledge with Understanding & working in tenderness and care …

God pays attention to details, as the corners and trim call attention to what is clean & what is not…

Jesus renews our mind, soul & spirit, some rebuilding takes place – like clay…drywall mud, corner bead, … and consider the power of paint!

In closing, please read this Chapter in the Bible that God has waiting on you … and think of how incredible paint is cover, seal, refresh & renew!

Now think on Jesus ♡ and the relationship you have btw God & you ????

The Fear of God is Beautiful!

 

… JESUS DEEPLY LOVES YOU!

Holy Spirit encourage the readers today.  Lift our minds higher to God’s Thoughts.  Bless those who will receive.  And, keep molding our hearts to be always ready to bloom for the glory of God to be a blessing to us all.

and pray …in the Spirit of the Most Holy God.  God knows what He is doing.

Love in Christ,

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.
