Though the Lord is high, yet he has respect to every lowly, humbled sinner; but the proud and unbelieving will be banished far from his blissful presence. Divine consolations have enough in them to revive us, even when we walk in the midst of troubles.

And God will save his own people that they may be revived by the Holy Spirit, the Giver of life and holiness.

If we give to God the glory of his mercy, we may take to ourselves the comfort. This confidence will not do away, but quicken prayer.

Whatever good there is in us, it is God works in us both to will and to do. The Lord will perfect the salvation of every true believer, and he will never forsake those whom he has created anew in Christ Jesus unto good works.

FYI

Okay, regarding my "Grains of Gratitude" post yesterday - the changes taking place in my life are not what it may have sounded like (evidently!). I most definitely am not "coming out of the closet" as my darling daughter, Elizabeth, pointed out in her comment. My friend, Karen, is a happily married woman with two beautiful daughters. She is my friend and I'm thankful for her.

My post yesterday was really all about being thankful - even during the times that seem like there's not much to be thankful for! I have so much to be thankful for and I am blessed!


In His Love and Blessings
