 Dear brothers and sisters,

Isn't it wonderful to know that you are loved perfectly this morning? I knew I could count on the sun rising and even more, I can always count on the Love of Jesus to anchor me safely. He is the Rock that I cling to when my way is perilous and I am bewildered by my circumstances. They may change without my approval, as they often do. But, the Word of God, His Love gift, never will.

His eyes are on those who have placed their hope in His unfailing Love. You know how I end my time with you...Abundance is? For us to have an abundant life we must have hope. This is essential. When we indulge in false hopes we become disillusioned can't we? That person you thought would be there for you the rest of your life slips, it seems easily away. Your heart is broken and the search for a true love goes on. Why keep searching? Choose the object of your hope wisely. We can hope in His unfailing Love.

Psalm 33:18 says..."Behold, the Lord's eye is upon those who fear Him [who revere and worship Him with awe], who wait for Hm and hope in His mercy and loving-kindness." Now, I know what the fear of the Lord is! I didn't clearly understand before so this helps! This is unfailing Love. The way to return my love to Him is to revere and worship Him with awe!

This time of year, at least in America, people are beginning to think about the coming holidays. Sadly, many breeze by Thanksgiving and give no more thought to it. When we come together, we share a meal, time together and enjoy the day. Or, we should. No matter what is on the table, clasp the hand next to you and say, "Thank you for being in my life." Be sure that your time is spent encouraging one another, time to pray together. Because of God's Love we can share the gift with others.

From the first time you trusted Jesus as your Savior, nothing can ever separate you from His Love. Read Romans 8:38-39 with me..."For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor thngs imprending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anthing else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Praise the Lord! We have this guarantee! Written down for all time. Sealed in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. His unfailing Love never ends for you and I! Aren't you thankful?

I sense you may be fighting the battle of loneliness. You might think you have lost. It isn't easy to ignore when others are happily engaging with family and friends. Jesus understands and is still on the Throne, ready to wrap His arms around you. The enemy is a liar and is determined to kick at your hope. The bruises may still be felt from years past. Talk to the Lord and tell Him how you are feeling. Now, put those feelings aside into His keeping and rest in faith that He has a sweet plan for your life. Be healed in hope in the name of Jesus Christ!

When we follow His divine counsel through His Word we can enjoy the Peace that passes all understanding, in His presence. The Lord can see everything, and how the journey effects you and I. I believe when we place our hope in Him, we are especially blessed. We are precious to Him. Yes, there may be troubled times, but just knowing His is near makes the heart lighter. The good, the bad, at all times. Even today. Do you agree with this? Now, agree with His unfailing Love for you. It will change your outlook in amazing ways by knowing what He thinks of you. You are in His Love letter!

We read this week of devastating fires in California, lives and homes lost. They still rage on. We read about the attacks on our sister nation, Israel with the same horror. Wars, rumors of war. Terrible loss near and far away. His eyes are on us. Soon, we will reap the reward of placing our hope in His unfailing Love. We will see Him face to face and spend all eternity with Him. For now, we can rest knowing His eyes are on each of us. This is sometimes too deep for me to fathom. He is awesome and worthy of our praise!

2 Thessalonians 3:16 says..."Now may the Lord of peace Himself grant you His peace (the peace of His kingdom) at all times and in all ways [under all circumstances and conditions, whatever comes]. The Lord [be] with you all." Thank you Abba.

I recieve this peace Lord Jesus. Though my body and mind are weary and fatigue drain my energy, I look to you today. Take the heaviness weighing on my heart. I yield it up to You. Jesus, You are able to carry me today. I trust You. Thank You Lord for keeping your eyes on me and all that concerns me today. In the matchless, awesome Love of Jesus Christ, amen.

There is a picture of a lake with many colorful rocks here in Montana. Lake McDonald. When I see it, I am reminded that if I want to view the beauty of the Lord, I have to travel through His Word to find the treasures. They really are not hidden but, open to our gaze. We just have to look for them. If you prayed with me this morning, continue to tell Jesus what is on your heart. He will show you the treasures of His unfailing Love. The Lord bless you and keep you in His grace and favor, Patricia.

Abundance is...His unfailing Love for all
