We are all sinners but as believers we can ...Sonja,<br />We are all sinners but as believers we can cling to Romans 8:1...Therefore there is now NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Though we mess up time and time again, God continues to see us as clean because the blood of Christ covers us. I believe we all go between assurance and doubt as to being truly and deeply loved. When I begin to doubt, I pray like the doubting disciple..."Lord I believe; help my unbelief." Our faith is not based upon feelings (thankfully) because our feelings can be deceiving, but is based upon the fact that God loves us without ceasing. Praying for God's comfort upon your heart!<br />Love and ((hugs)),<br />BevBev Rihtarchik - Walking Well With Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18225613427007199391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443269509543825661.post-69267239813784958142014-02-13T06:24:04.078-08:002014-02-13T06:24:04.078-08:00Hello Beth,

I'm always seeing me as the imperfect and sinning child wich God must forgive again and again. But the reality of being chosen by love slowly began to comfort my heart like a warm hand that wrappes my heart. <br />When will I truly see me in the perfect light of being chosen by love? Of being loved truly and deeply and without any question? A friend of me said that I will not feel it until I started to believe it.<br />You helped me as always.<br />Be blessed and feel hugged. <br />Sonja (known as Rosie at incourage ;) )Sonjanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443269509543825661.post-72091782626476388412014-02-11T08:58:44.594-08:002014-02-11T08:58:44.594-08:00Hello sweet friend. :))) Coming by for the encoura...Hello sweet friend. :))) Coming by for the encouragement that is always sure to be found here.

I love the wording, "called to belong ...Betsy,<br />I love the wording, "called to belong to Jesus Christ." What better invitation can we receive in life?

My ki...I love your "chosen" verses, Bev. My kids and I memorized Romans !:1-18 last year and my favorite for some reason was v. 7: "To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to belong to Jesus Christ." It doesn't use the word "chosen," but I loved remembering that I'm loved and called to belong.Betsy de Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16787903903743238209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443269509543825661.post-27450419244227241712014-02-08T06:48:31.480-08:002014-02-08T06:48:31.480-08:00Anna,
You make a good point that by the world'...Anna,<br />You make a good point that by the world's standards we may appear to be alone, when in God's vernacular we are set apart. I, too, take great comfort to know that God is with me wherever I may go...I am never out of his reach. So glad you are enjoying the coffee cup - I love good, uplifting scripture with my coffee each morning. It gets my day off on the right foot :) We ALL need to be uplifted!<br />Blessings my friend,<br />Bev<br />Bev Rihtarchik - Walking Well With Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18225613427007199391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443269509543825661.post-76645871956702890822014-02-07T07:39:30.241-08:002014-02-07T07:39:30.241-08:00Bev, thank you for this great reminder. I realize...Bev, thank you for this great reminder. I realized several years ago that although I was sitting by myself at lunch, in the office, talking to no one for long period of times that God had set me apart. I remember sitting at lunch on day when many from the office came in and I felt invisible. Oh but no, the words, you are set apart filled me. I truly wished others knew that being alone really isn't be "alone". If others are in this position, may they come to realize like I did, it is a gift and a blessing. We are not subjected to hearing certain conversations that would not be pleasing to God. To this very day, I may wait to have lunch at a later time because of the crowd and conversations. Being by myself (yourself) is not a bad thing! I am never alone because the God is with me wherever I go. Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you be strong and courageous, do not be terrified, do not be discouraged for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Yes I was sooooooo excited when you emailed me letting me know I won the beautiful cup. I've added it to my prayer cup collection. This great gift also came at a time when I was in desperate need of being uplifted. Thank you my friend! BE (be encouraged)!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08118014226846401403noreply@blogger.com
