Giving Thanks

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. (Ezekiel 36:26-27)

Five years ago today I had a revelation of Christ as true love and was blessed with His Spirit. On this fifth anniversary of my spiritual regeneration, I give thanks to the Lord for opening the eyes of my heart so I could see Him. I also give thanks to the Lord for blessing me with His Spirit. It is the greatest gift I have ever - and will ever - receive in my life.

To know true love is to know God. God is love. (1 John 4:8)

Blessed with His Spirit, I now see and know the truth:

It is no longer I that lives, but Christ lives in me. (Galatians 2:20)

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:1-8)

The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. (Galatians 5:6)

Love is the fulfilment of the law. (Romans 13:10)

Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love. (Ephesians 5:1-2)

May God give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your heart being enlightened.

Agape,

Steve
