Dear Jenise, thank you, this letter is incredibly profound and insightful. He

"Made us His image bearers on Earth to partner with Him in His earthly work and to represent Him on Earth."

and "What is God asking you to embrace and embed in your heart?"

As I prayed and asked GOD to respond to my heart, He brought to my remembrance an e-mail sent yesterday to my precious adopted daughter Emma Morley, which now fits perfectly here, not by happen-chance, but by divine appointment, because GOD has orchestrated all things for our benefit, to draw closer to Him, as He draws closer to us, thus illustrating a definition of His family.

"The LORD is among us, His family."

"See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared." Exodus 23:20 NIV

The LORD has put this prayer on my heart just for us both, and now for all of us, His family.

May we all pray together now.

His holy Angels are all around us, protecting and watching over the LORD's people. They come sent from our King. They come because of Love and a desire to please Him. It is not a task or job to be done but an act of fellowship with their Creator, communion, and pure devotion to the One they love.

"For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go." Psalm 91:11 NLT

"LORD, may we be like Your Holy Angels."

Our only task is to be close to You, LORD, to draw near to You as You draw near to us. You don't desire a job well done or work filled with our efforts to please You. You only want our communion. Everything else is not required. A simple moment, a simple word between best friends, is preferred.

"He will keep you strong to the end so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." 1 Corinthians 1:8-9 NLT.

"How Great is our LORD, how Great is His Love for us."

"But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved." Ephesians 2:4-5 NIV

LORD, because Your Love is so great for us. It is all we need. But because of Your great mercy, You have called us to participate in Your Wonderful plan for Humanity for the joy of being a part of Your Plan of the Ages, a partnership to establish Your Eternal Kingdom where peace will fill the earth forever.

"Then the Sovereignty, power and greatness of all the kingdoms under Heaven will be handed over to the holy people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey Him." Daniel 7:27 NIV

"The LORD will keep us."

We pray, LORD, save those around us who as of yet don't know You, call them out for Your Kingdom, set them free, keep our families safe from harm in the following days ahead, and give us the wisdom to do what is right at the appropriate time. Build us up for those moments in the future that you have prepared us for. To be leaders in times of hardship. Lead us to make the right choices. Thank you, LORD, for all Your blessings over our families. In JESUS Mighty Name, we pray. Amen!

"Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness;

they will sing with joy about your righteousness.

The LORD is merciful and compassionate,

slow to get angry and filled with unfailing Love.

The LORD is good to everyone.

He showers compassion on all his creation.

All of your works will thank you, LORD, and your

faithful followers will praise you.

They will speak of the glory of your kingdom.

they will give examples of your power.

They will tell about your mighty deeds

and about the majesty and glory of your reign.

For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.

You rule throughout all generations.

The LORD always keeps his promises; he is gracious in all he does." Psalm 145:7-13 NLT

May GOD bless you all this day and throughout the week to come. Thank you, LORD, for Your precious Love that unites us all as one. . .

"You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me." Psalm 139:5 NIV

James, what a powerful comment, and leading from the Holy Spirit! God is so good!

Yes, we are never alone. As you wrote:

May you have a very blessed Sunday!
