Add to....

Add to....

I love watching my grandchildren grow and mature...they range from 14 months to 16 years...just walking to a newly licensed driver...so all are learning how to navigate, In some way, this world around them...there are ups and downs, stops and starts, step by steps, new rules of navigation...getting from point A to point B, new freedoms, and maybe some bumps and bruises, with a few scratches along the way (not too many, I hope)...and lots and lots of firsts...

Each of the older grandchildren have made a decision to ask Christ as their Savior and I pray that the younger ones will follow suit as well...I want all of my family to have a heavenly reunion, with no one missing...with their grandfather and great grandparents showing us  all around, those rooms, those Streets of gold, everything...

As I was reading these verses this morning...I prayed that each child would pick up the wisdom found in God's Word...and add to their lives the following...

2 Peter 1:3-8 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; 

and to goodness, knowledge; 

and to knowledge, self-control; 

and to self-control, perseverance; 

and to perseverance, godliness; 

and to godliness, mutual affection; 

and to mutual affection, love.

 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Galatians 5:22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 

gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 

And these words are such a small portion...but adding them to our lives would help each the "keep in step with the Spirit" of the living God...

Thank YOU...for the qualities to add to our lives...that we may lead a godly and Spirit filled life...
