Excerpt
We have been Chosen by God to come to Christ, Who is the Living Foundation, the Rock upon Whom God builds His church. We have the glorious unity of being one body, Christs body. Since we have been Chosen by God Who has given us this New Life, and because of His divine love for us, we should please Him by being tenderhearted, merciful and kind to others. We should always remember the Lord forgave us and chose us to be His children because of His love for us. We belong to Jesus Christ our Savior and Bridegroom. We are the beloved gift of both the Father and the Son. Our Savior continues to cover us in unceasing prayer in heaven now. This means He is praying for you! Now we have every right to come fearlessly into Gods presence at His Holy Throne. Each time we appear before God at His Throne in praise, worship, supplication, thanksgiving and intercessory prayer of faith, seated together with Christ, He lives His Life more and more fully in us. Our roots begin to twine down deep into the soil of Gods marvelous love. Gods love transforms us. We are enabled to feel and truly understand how everlasting, how boundless, the depth and height of Gods love. We actually experience His love for ourselves. His love brings us peace during storms. His love brings us joy when mourning comes. His love brings us abundance instead of lack. His love leads us through the valley lows. His love lifts us to the mountain highs. His love magnifies our hearts. We can never see the end of His love. We can never exhaust His love. We cannot begin to use up His love. His love is infinite. It grows by itself. The more we experience His love, the more we have of His love, until finally at last, we are filled up with God Himself. We are being led along together by the same Holy Spirit. He is helping us, through His love, to live and act in a way worthy of those chosen for such wonderful blessings as He gives us. We, then, must show mercy, forgiving and making allowance for each others faults because of our love. Because of the same Holy Spirit within us, we can always be at peace with one another. Oh, glory be to God, for His mighty power which He works from within us! God knows about our dreams, our hopes, our aspirations and He is able and willing to do far more for than anything we may dream. Each time we appear before God at His Throne, He takes our finite desires, thoughts, yearnings, even our highest prayers and infinitely transforms them for His use in the Kingdom of God. He magnifies our prayer, so that He may accomplish exceeding abundance in our behalf, in behalf of the church, for His own glory!
