Precious gifts...

"Hear me, O coastlands, listen, O distant peoples. The Lord called me from birth, from my mother's womb he gave me my name." Isaiah 49:1

How amazing that the Lord knew me and loved me before I WAS me!! Oh how He cares for us...

Today is my birthday. I feel surrounded by love. My husband. My family. My friends. My GOD!!

I will admit that I was feeling a bit "fragile" earlier. It started last night at bedtime.

And then I remembered something our Pastor said recently. If Satan can't have your soul, heart or mind, he will come after your joy. And I had obviously surrendered mine. I recalled the words to a song from the early 80's (you know me and music!!) "Jesus Never Fails" and the chorus goes like this:

Jesus never fails, Jesus never fails.
You might as well get thee behind me Satan, you cannot prevail...
because Jesus NEVER fails!!!

I feel sooooo much better!! AMEN!!

"Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
James 4:7

I received the most beautiful birthday bouquet from my Sweet Hubby this morning...he tiptoed out at dawn and culled from our yard. FTD could not have put together a more lovely gift for me! Thank you honey, I love you so much! And a handwritten card too ~ doesn't it just melt you? I know...me too! Have a blessed day, I know I will!
