Philippians 4:4
Rejoice in the Lord always; and AGAIN I say rejoice!

Defintion of rejoice:
(verb) feel or show great joy

Ohhh... God is just so great. He is just so great. Words fail me when I want to express my gratitude to my Daddy God. But I shall try my best!


Thank You, Daddy God, for:
  • Your amazing love and faithfulness for me
  • Your mercy (sparing me from what I rightly deserve) and grace (giving me what I don't deserve)
  • the little things that You use everyday to show me that You are beside me
  • my friends - funny, loving, supporting
  • my family - funny and crappy
  • my brothers and sisters in Christ - loving, supporting, reminding me of Your promises
  • unspeakable and unexplainable joy
  • answered prayers
  • privilege to worship You - meeting You face to face
  • Your Word spoken to me in so many so many ways
  • sending Your Son to die for me so that I can be FREE!
.... and so much so much so much more....

Something I read that warms my heart so very much:
"To say "God is here and everywhere" doesn't mean much, so I like to personalize the immanence of God. When we lie down at night and drift off to sleep, why not think of God as standing next to our beds, tucking us in by the divine presence? We can speak goodnight words, or when we open our eyes in the morning, God's face is smiling at us, and we can give thanks for the sleep. It gives me great pleasure to think of God being part of everything that happens in my life and being beside me wherever I go. "

You have looked deep into my heart, LORD, and you know all about me. -- PSALMS 139:1, CEV

[Jesus said] "…I will be with you always, even until the end of the world." -- MATTHEW 28:20B, CEV

Dear Daddy God,
yes. I believe that. I believe You are just right next to me. I believe You love me so much. I believe You will protect me. I believe You want me to live out Your best. Thank You, Daddy God. Oh! My heart is bursting with joy for You. Let it overflow! Let this joy overflow from my heart to Your people! Let Your name be glorified! Daddy King, be the one sovereign in my life!
In the sweetest, lovliest name of Jesus,
Amen!
