Chapter 1 - Immanuel: Day 5
John 15:9-12 - “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
1 Corinthians 3:16 - Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
Father,
I praise You for making me in Your own image and that I can bear an image of You to those around me. I praise You in all that You do through me, and I am excited to spend time with You each day now. I ask in Prayer and Praise that I can start with my day with You and learning more about You and Your names. That You are in and through me with Your image in me too. Help my life to bear that image as well.
I want to Thank You for living in me and standing with me helping me to not disgrace Your image now. Help me to stand in You and love You each day. I want to be a witness to the girls' and keep them close. I thank You for this trip to the Philippines and getting to meet Chai, Zoe, and Iyana soon, in a couple years I want to make that trip over. I need to meet these girls and hold onto them at least once if we are still on earth.
I am not sure what part of me does not mar Your image when I am awake. I am so wrong and down. I need to get back into the love of You and maybe go back to church. Right now, I cannot imagine going back to church. I want to go back to Union and pastor Gaylen and Judy and stand for You in a whole new light. No one from my past loves me except Mama Cheryle and that was because she was in Africa for all those years. I tried to push her away, but she came back. I stand in the love for her and beg You to keep us close.
I know how to show Your image to the girls, and I will continue to do this. I need Your help though to make it sound right and stand up to the love of You and the girls. My goal is salvation in these girls and their families. I need to pray for that more as well.
Thank You for this study and listening as I pray.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
