Conversations with God

Hello God, it’s me, Mara:

You know Lord, when people mention the word ‘treasure’ one right away thinks about jewels, diamonds, rubies, precious stones, riches, money, wealth, a pot of gold, a cache of silver, but there are other things one could or should treasure. What about relationships?

Things You Can Count On Now!

There is a grace that is sufficient;

a mercy that endures;

an atoning blood that cleanses;

a hope that doesn’t disappoint;

a love that never fails;

a purpose that works all things together for the good;

a peace that passes understanding;

a joy unspeakable;

a kingdom unshakable;

a foundation indestructible;

a High Priest who prays;

a Savior who lives;

a Spirit who comforts;

a Father who cares.

“Therefore, we who have fled to Him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls.” Hebrews 6:18-19 NLT

Additionally, we can think of Your grace, Lord, as we hurrying into the Fall Season, maybe we still have a hammock in the backyard, so that at the end of the day, it’s there, ready and waiting to wrap us in peace and comfort, quiet our heart, and renew our sense of God’s complete care and control over everything that concerns us. And – better yet, we can remember these two special verses You have given to us: “I will be your God throughout your lifetime... I made you, and I will care for you.” Isaiah 36:4 NLT and “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” II Corinthians 12:9 NIV

As we’re rushing off into Autumn, thank You Lord for caring so much for us and giving us so many things that we CAN count on; truly, they are gifts from YOU.

Love, Mara
