James 4:7-8

Submit to God
Resist the devil
Come near to God
Wash your hands
Purify your hearts

The above is a short version of our verses for today that I want to keep at the forefront of my heart and mind this week - and always! Each phrase is a simple but effective instruction that leads to our remaining close to our Lord and being Christians of real, living faith. It is a tireless battle, a constant denial of ourselves - over and over and over - but rewards are found in doing so. God will be near to us, He will empower us and overflow our hearts with joy!!

Tonight, after a Lenten service, and soup and sandwiches around the table with hubby and my mama who came to visit short-notice yesterday :)...I am praying for more humility, and more grace. I need to wash my hands and purify my ever-soiled heart. Today's verses are quite appropriate for a mid-Lenten reading, how it reminds us of our short-comings and our serious need for our Savior Love.

Praying you girls let God's Word for today cut to the quick and speak to you where you need it most.
Love in Him!
