5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. 6 Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. 7 As you go, proclaim this message: 'The kingdom of heaven has come near.' 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, [b] drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
Matthew 10:5-8
God has blessed Paula and I with so much in this life! I am so humbled by his goodness and Grace this morning. First and foremost he has blessed us with His presence through a restored relationship which He made possible through His Son Jesus Christ, I am still learning every day what this means and I am still discovering in my own journey how incredible and wonderful this free gift of Jesus in me is! Secondly, he has blessed us with each other, He has given me an amazing, caring, loving and beautiful wife with whom I have the pleasure of spending the rest of eternity as well as with Him. Thirdly, He has given me talents and abilities to do what I love to do, every day, in order that other people could see and know that He is real and living inside of my heart of hearts. Last, but not least, He covers all of my inadequacies and failed attempts to live up to such a high calling as one trying to reflect the love of our Savior with His incredible love, grace and forgiveness all of which I will never understand or fully comprehend but it is for these things that I am most grateful and in awe. I stand in awe of our God today and I freely give whatever He asks of me to give today with a joyful heart as I have freely received the amazing gift of His love, forever.
