Re Do

I had a thought yesterday as I was sitting in Church listening to Rusty preach. There is no doubt that our Father loves us unconditionally. We are all so blessed to have a Father who loves us no matter what we do and as long as we accept in in our hearts He will accept us. He will accept you even if you do not accept Him at this moment, but you will not feel the freedoms yet that followers feel.

Back to my thought though. I may be crossing some lines but what I hope to do is stir some thoughts. In the last few weeks and really the last few years NASA has been conducting research on planets like Mars and we have seen pictures come back of solar systems that may be similar to ours. I have always felt like we are not the only earth out there. I do not necessarily believe that we have little green men out there waiting to takeover our world, but I do believe that there is another planet very similar to ours in the millions of solar systems that exist. Our Father makes several references to the stars in the sky and I believe that he has them there for a reason. My thought yesterday was that our Father has His Son traveling from solar system to solar system and recreating the same glorious story that He gave us. Could you imagine sacrificing your Son over and over again for others so that they may live through you?

I do not know if this is possible, but I believe in everything that my Father does and would not put this past Him. His heart is so big and I know that He wants to share his love with all of us. On this Valentine's Day 2011, share your heart with those that you love and also your brothers and sisters that you have not come to know yet.

I want to share this verse today with all of you.

Ephesians 1, starting with verse 3

I love you all, and have a great week.

Praise for Spiritual Blessings in Christ

 ³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. ⁴ For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love ⁵he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— ⁶ to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. ⁷ In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace ⁸ that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, ⁹ he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, ¹⁰ to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

 ¹¹ In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, ¹² in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. ¹³ And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, ¹⁴ who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

Thanksgiving and Prayer

 ¹⁵ For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, ¹⁶ I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. ¹⁷ I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. ¹⁸ I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, ¹⁹ and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength ²⁰ he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, ²¹ far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. ²² And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, ²³ which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
