Abundant Blessings

I am so thankful for the goodness and grace and forgiveness at the foot of the cross.

I am at rest, knowing that God loves me, his daughter, and that I am safe in his arms.

Only he can save. Only he can redeem. Only he can change a soul, even your own.


God, Thank you for the many friends you've given me; thank you for their love, commitment and care toward me, their overabundance of forgiveness, their affirmation of truth and worth, and their exceeding joy in You, LORD, and for your blessings.

Thank you for my upstanding family and their moral steadfastness, their desire to stay pure, holy, and righteous for your name.

Thank you for the faculty and students at Biola University, Lord, unafraid to live for you and yearning for wisdom and the love you gave, and give, O Lord.

Thank you for Doug, Lord, for his faithfulness and steadfast love, for his strength under trials and his encouragement against worry, for his pursuit of you, Father, and his deep passion for you, Lord. I praise God for his name.

Father, thank you for your justice and judgment that you will soon put into the hands of your Son.

Thank you, Jesus, for your humble sacrifice and victory against our greatest foe, for giving those who ask a clean life and self, free from harm, injury, and death. For your mercy, O LORD and O Lord, in all that you have taught us and all that you have given, in your complete goodness and grace.

Thank you, Holy Spirit, for your sanctifying power and encouragement, for your protection against evil, for dwelling in us as your temple forever and ever. Thank you wisdom. Thank you for a new reason to live, for true happiness, for a reason for kindness, for beauty, for strength and peace and comfort during sorrow, for the assurance of perfect love.


Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice.
