We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you

Col 1:3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

Good morning friends, after a wonderful night of service in church and a message that allowed me to meditate a little more on God, versus me, I came across this in my heart today. I am so glad that I have the opportunity to pray for others and the ability to bring these requests before God through Jesus Christ our Savior. There are some that are in need today that are very close friends, and I would that you pray with me that God would have His will and way in their lives. Last night after hearing some great preaching from Pastor Tony at Calvary Baptist Church, I was convicted about the verse he choose to use for his message. Mar 6:52 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened. He brought our a great point in the fact we are so quick to forget what God has done in our lives. So after a storm blew through last night one of our church members had a leaky roof, and because God has always been gracious to me, he allowed me to learn some roofing skills from a dear brother in south Georgia. Now I would like to thank this dear brother because if it wasn't for his care and compassion when I was a little younger and ignorant I probably would have never been able to help out last night. It meant a lot to me in my heart to give back a little in life as my dear brother has given to me during my times of need, so I thank you for putting up with me, our family misses your family and we love ya'll. Getting back to the point of not considering the miracle of the loaves, this hit me in the heart and immediately I started meditating on the things the Lord has done for me, boy what a mighty God we serve. Not only did Jesus save me, he sanctified me, not only sanctified, but sealed me unto that glorious day of His return. That's just the beginning friends, it would probably take 5 volumes to fill in just the past few years of my life.
So today I wanted to just focus on giving God the glory and the thanks for all that he has done. There are many rough days in our lives, but as the preacher said last night, maybe if we look to what God has done those things won't matter. You know the more I think as I type I just want to thank God for sending somebody my way for giving me the gospel truth, for if it wasn't for that invitation to accept Jesus as my personal Savior then this post would never be able to be written. Friend I would also like to pray with you for your needs in Gods time and His will.
Eph 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
So now I would like to say thank you to Jesus for allowing me to accept His sacrifice for the remission of my sins, and that through Him I may have eternal life and fellowship with God in heaven.
