If you are visiting fromGraceforGlory for the first time, please take a minute to read the ABOUT section. I believe God has given me the ability to hear Him — so you can hear him also. He calls me His Child – but has reminded me often that these words are for ALL His children. I invite you to listen as HIS child. Remember always, God loves you. †

Father, thank you for loving me – and putting a resolve in my heart to serve which was stronger than the will of my flesh.
The study this week is on relationships – the relationship with you – with Christ Jesus. Let me always love and serve Christ over all else … thus I might serve thy children.
You took me to Philippians 4:1-15 … and the final verse 23 “May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.”
Father, the last word … “spirit” … spoke so strongly to me.
My relationship with Christ is though the spirit – though feels as real as my earthly relationships. Not detached and distant, but intimate and powerful – having great significance and influence in my life… such that I cannot ignore.
Almighty Father, I am speechless and humble and grateful. “let all that I am praise the Lord.” Psalms 104 … let my life be a living prayer.
Father – I sing glory glory glory to the son – Christ the King.
“Child, be still, listen … and live like Paul. Content in every moment … for every moment with Jesus is blessed. He is always with you. Seek Him when you feel alone or abandoned. You will find Him and your anguish will turn to joy. Child, seek Him when you are overwhelmed – and your heart will return to peace. Child – seek Him at all times … for every moment is a miracle … as every moment is an ordained part of the infinite plan of salvation.
Be full – be filled – with the spirit.
Live a spiritual life that earthly matters … don’t matter.
Release the attachment to attachments ..
.. whether they be relationships, material things, feelings (the attachments to feeling good or happy or even anger). Child, release all attachments to success or adoration or … Shshshshshs, be still, quiet your heart. Still your body. Shshshs … listen.
Child, you must detach from other’s judgments. See how free you feel just thinking … and releasing? There was one of your strongholds!
Child, detach from earthly things – to live in the spiritual glory of Christ Jesus.
Child – detaching does not mean to be without.
You may still enjoy and appreciate comforts and fine things. But your life is not diminished to be without comforts and lovely things.
… or without recognition and approval.
For your life truly becomes spiritual … and beyond any value set by earthly standards when you live through Jesus.
Every moment with the Lord is priceless … and timeless.
Live and love …
With Jesus
For Jesus
Like Jesus
Child – go into the day and celebrate each moment.
Celebrate birth.
Celebrate death.
Celebrate the reunion.
There is eternity in every moment.
Light the world in celebration!”
Amen Amen Amen
