Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord!  (Philippians 3:1)

First thing

Last thing

Every thing

Rejoice in the One who has formed you out of dust and love, who has called you to be his beloved, who has set you apart and sealed you as his own.  He knows you completely, and loves you anyway. Every dark thing in this world and in your life will be overwhelmed and overcome by the power of his love and holiness.

He is King.

He is God.

He is yours

and

you are his.

Rejoice, Beloved!

Happy Thursday
