Children of God Through Faith

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. — Galatians 3:26-28 

When we were baptized into Christ, we were clothed with Him.

Now we should not look at each other in light of our differences.

Rather, we are all one in Jesus.

He doesn't see us as male or female.

Jesus doesn't count us as slave or free.

He doesn't' see Jew or Gentile, Catholic or Protestant.

We are now one in His eyes.

We Are All Children of God

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. — Galatians 3:26

We are all children of God. 

Through faith in Jesus, God has adopted us into His family.

All who were baptized into Jesus Christ are His children.

We have clothed ourselves with Christ.

Here's the congratulations dessert we shared over the weekend.

We are praising God for blessing us with our home and family.

Bless the Lord

Bless the Lord, O my soul.  Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. — Psalm 104:1

God is clothed with splendor.

He is robed in majesty.

He has given us dominion over the earth.

And Saturday night in the midst of peaceful protests, a handful of looters rode the trolley to Spring Street and decided to burn a couple of banks and destroy some businesses in La Mesa.

Very sad.

I'm sure it grieves God to see us turn into such selfish people, not concerned about the welfare of others.

Even so, God reigns.

He is in control, and He loves us even still.

God Clothed Me with Joy

You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,  that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. — Psalm 30:11-12

God turned my wailing into dancing.

He clothed me with joy.

My heart will sing God's praises.

I cannot be silent.

God removed my mourning clothes and clothed me with his love.

Today our sweet neighbors brought us Lilacs. 

They smell wonderful!

We are filled with God's joy.

Children of God

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. — Galatians 3:26-27

I am a child of God in Christ Jesus.

Through faith, we believe this to be a true statement.

My family and I were baptized into Christ.

We have clothed ourselves with Jesus.

Even so, we have to take up the armor of God and clothe ourselves anew each day.

To know what God's will is for me, I need to read His Scripture, which is the sword of the Spirit.

When I do, God helps direct me throughout the day.

His Spirit guides me and keeps me on the right path.

What a comforting way to start off the new month.

Here is a mug warmer that Mary made.

She quilted one for us with a Christmas theme.

I can hardly wait to use it!
