Pursuing Jesus

I love 1 Peter! It has so much packed into one little book. You can read it ten times and you can get as much out of it as you did the first time!     1 Peter 1   Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To God’s elect, exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance. Praise to God for a Living Hope Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in...

What an amazing God we have! Lover, Friend, Father, Savior, Protector, and oh so many more!  The Almighty God, Creator of everything, wants to be friends with us. He wants a PERSONAL relationship with us! How awesome is that?! When I'm feeling rejected by the world, when I feel lost, lonely, sad, I can look to Him for comfort. I yearn to grow more in my friendship with Him so that I look to Him, not only when I'm sad, but when I'm happy. He is the closest friend we can have. I love Psalm 139 that says: "O  Lord , you have  searched me and known me!   You  know when I sit down and when I rise up;      you  discern my thoughts from afar.   You search out my path and my lying down      and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue,      behold, O  Lord ,  you know it altogether.   You  hem me in, behind and before,      and...

  Two are better than one, because they have a good return for thier work; If one falls down, his friends can help him up. But pitty the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Aslo, if two lie down together, then they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is notquickly broken   Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
