Family

Matthew 12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother. #Bible

Whoever does the Will of God is demonstrating their belief, and their faith in God. They have trust, dependence, and reliance in God for their very lives.
When we do, perform, and execute the Will, Purpose, and Desire of God in our lives, we prove we are in the family of God our Father.
Jesus is telling us that whether you are His brother, sister, or mother, we have access to a relationship with Him that encompasses the same closeness and intimacy as with any family member, whether mother, brother, sister, or Father.
Our God is thoroughly wonderful in His desire to have such a close relationship with us. How could we ever reject this perfect Love from our Triune God? Who expresses His Love to us in three Persons.
God is waiting for you to come home to Him with open arms. Ask Him to forgive you of your rebellious sins, and turn to Jesus asking Him to save you from the destruction that is coming to all who reject Jesus.

God's Law

Matthew 5:18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. #Bible

The Law, God created for man, and its perfection is the essence of our Father's Love for those who worship Him. The Law of God has been working since the beginning and will continue till the finest point has served its purpose, and accomplished God's intention.
Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law, and He continues to accomplish its purpose also. As children of God, we have received God's Law written upon our hearts and our minds, that we would, as Jesus, do the work of accomplishing and fulfilling the Law of God in our lives also, with the help of our Holy Spirit.
What a wonderful task we have been given, a mission, a service to our Father God through our Saviour Jesus the Christ to return our love to God through obedience to God's Law, striving to be perfect as our Father in Heaven is Perfect. We have to continue on towards the goal of our higher calling, not getting hung up on our personal lower issues, but running the race winning the Prize, hearing those words spoken by Jesus, welcome good and faithful servant enter in.
If you don't know Jesus, ask Him to forgive you, ask Him to come into your life, and fill you with His Holy Spirit. Now you can fulfill God's Law.

I breathe

Revelation 1:8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. #Bible

In preparing this devotional I was faced with two points, 1. This verse is fully self explanatory, 2. The quote below says it better than I can.
The only thing I can say is how wonderfully awesome our God truly is.

 It is worthy of remark, that as the union of aleph and tau in Hebrew make eth, which the rabbins interpret of the first matter out of which all things were formed, so the union of α alpha and ω omega, in Greek, makes the verb αω, I breathe, and may very properly, in such a symbolical book, point out Him in whom we live, and move, and have our being; for, having formed man out of the dust of the earth, he breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and he became a living soul; and it is by the inspiration or inbreathing of his Spirit that the souls of men are quickened, made alive from the dead, and fitted for life eternal. He adds also that he is the Almighty, the all-powerful framer of the universe, and the inspirer of men. (Adam Clark)
Praise The LORD!

The Lost

Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. #Bible

The Son of Man, meaning Jesus the Christ, came from the Father God's side in Heaven.
Jesus came to seek, with determination, and obedience to the Father God, even with the idea, a service of worship.
Jesus came to save, to deliver, to protect, heal, preserve and do well to the lost.
The lost which we all were, were perishing, dying, on our way to destruction, lost and away from God.
With perfect Love from Heaven Jesus diligently sought out the lost, and as we can see here in this section even scrupulous tax collectors. Our Wonderful Lord Jesus was a complete success in His mission and I for one am very happy about that, Praise The LORD.

The Spirit's Help

Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. #Bible

This verse is one of my favorites, its the creamy center of the cookie verses surrounding it.
The Holy Spirit is with us all the time helping us especially in our weaknesses. He not only saved us from our sinful rebellion against God our Father, but now in all of our weaknesses.
Not only does the Spirit give us hope, but He is with us interceding for us with groanings beyond words, because we don't know what to pray for as we ouat to pray. The Spirit prays that perfect prayer for us that words can not express, because God is always searching our hearts for He knows the mind of the Spirit in perfect union, according to our Father God's perfect Will.
I love the fact that God is perfectly thoural, He leaves nothing out, He knows everything, nothing is hidden from Him, even what is in our hearts. We have nothing to hide and God has everything to help, and He does.
I can't help but see God's Love in all of this, He even Loves us with His perfect Love, nothing is held back by God, He gives it all for all time even eternity.
God even causes all things to be working together for good for us who He has called to Him, who love Him. That's those who have chosen to believe in His Son Jesus, and have declared Jesus to be their Sheppard and Lord. Leading us through this life, traveling the path with the least resistance, the righteous life of right living in Christ our Messiah.
