I {LOVE} Sunday...

In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
All things were made through him,
and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life,
and the life was the light of men.
The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:1-5

I {LOVE} Sunday::to pray for the wisdom from above...

Who is wise and understanding among you? 

By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. 

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 

But the wisdom from above is first pure, 

then peaceable, 

gentle, 

open to reason, 

full of mercy and good fruits, 

impartial and sincere. 

And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. 

James 3:13-18

I {LOVE} Sunday::to know in what the LORD delights...

Thus says the LORD:
“Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom,
let not the mighty man boast in his might,
let not the rich man boast in his riches, 

but let him who boasts boast in this,
that he understands and knows me,
that I am the LORD
who practices steadfast love,
justice,
and righteousness
in the earth.
For in these things I delight, declares the LORD.”
Jeremiah 9:23-24

I {LOVE} Sunday::to count it all joy...

Count it all joy, my brothers [and sisters],
when you meet trials of various kinds,
for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
And let steadfastness have its full effect,
that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

James 1:2-4

{With the Sunday Community at Lisha's #GiveMeGrace }

I {LOVE} Sunday::to hold fast, consider, and encourage...

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,
for he who promised is faithful.
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
not neglecting to meet together,
as is the habit of some,
but encouraging one another,
and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
Hebrews 10:23-25

{With the Sunday Community at Lisha's #GiveMeGrace }

I {LOVE} Sunday::to worship with reverence and awe...

Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken,
and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship,
with reverence and awe,
for our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 12:28-29

I {LOVE} Sunday::to love kindness...

She opens her mouth with wisdom,
and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
Proverbs 31:26

He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the LORD require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8

And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.

Galatians 5:24-25 

Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
Colossians 3:12-15

I {LOVE} Sunday::to be resalted...

Salt and Light

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 5:13-16

I {LOVE} Sunday::I am a child of God...

For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, 

but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, 

by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 

 Romans 8:15

I {LOVE} Sunday::For who is God, but the LORD...

For who is God, but the LORD?
And who is a rock, except our God?—

Psalm 18:31

I {LOVE} Sunday::to shout and sing together for joy...

You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy.
You visit the earth and water it;
you greatly enrich it;
the river of God is full of water;
you provide their grain,
for so you have prepared it.
You water its furrows abundantly,
settling its ridges,
softening it with showers,
and blessing its growth.
You crown the year with your bounty;
your wagon tracks overflow with abundance.
The pastures of the wilderness overflow,
the hills gird themselves with joy,
the meadows clothe themselves with flocks,
the valleys deck themselves with grain,
they shout and sing together for joy.
Psalm 65:8-13

I {LOVE} Father's Day Sunday::to declare that the LORD is my rock...

The righteous...

are planted in the house of the LORD;
they flourish in the courts of our God.
They still bear fruit in old age;
they are ever full of sap and green,
to declare that the LORD is upright;
he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Psalm 92:12-15

Happy Father's Day to my handsome and godly husband Louis
who is planted and flourishing,
bearing fruit,
and declaring the LORD is his rock.
