Shalom,

Would you like to hear a wonderful and encouraging message for today that has been around for a very long time? Here is is from our Spoken Word Bible reading Plan for today! Ephesians 1:1-6:

1 Paul, an apostle (special messenger) of Christ Jesus (the Messiah), by the divine will (the purpose and the choice of God) to the saints (the consecrated, set-apart ones) at Ephesus who are also faithful and loyal and steadfast in Christ Jesus: 2 May grace (God’s unmerited favor) and spiritual peace [which means peace with God and harmony, unity, and undisturbedness] be yours from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 May blessing (praise, laudation, and eulogy) be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) Who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual (given by the Holy Spirit) blessing in the heavenly realm! 4 Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. 5 For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will [because it pleased Him and was His kind intent]— 6 [So that we might be] to the praise and the commendation of His glorious grace (favor and mercy), which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

HALLELUJAH! HE, our GOD, holds US in the highest esteem! Why? Because WE belong to HIM! We are not JUST His creation, we are HIS CHILDREN, members of HIS family, IF we have received JESUS as Lord and personal Saviour! I HAVE! I hope that YOU have, too! If not, go to our website through the link on the left and find out how! You will NEVER, EVER regret THAT decision! Here is Hillsong with another older song that I loive called "Tell The World":

Shalom in Him!
