Loving, for the Lord...the fruit of lips that confess His name. Hebrews 13:15-16

Hebrews 13:15-16 says, "Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise - the fruit of lips that confess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased."
John 3:16 tells us:  "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." 
 
Jesus died on the cross because of His great love for each of us.  He took the sin, pain, sickness, sorrow and torment of this world upon His shoulders because of love. 
 
It can be hard to imagine a love so great. 
 
His sacrifice on the cross was because He loves each one of us. 
 
His sacrifice was so that we may life a life eternally with Him in Heaven.
 
His sacrifice was so that we can move forward with His work as a part of who we in in Him. 
 
As we experience the love of Jesus in our heart - deep inside of who we are - we can experience the glory of God.  The Holy Spirit comes to us when we accept Jesus as our Savior and deeply yearn for and seek His presence within.
 
When we open up our true self to Him, in humility, repentance and desire to experience all that He has to offer each of us: we are filled with the Holy Spirit, empowered by Him to move forward in praise and love by
sharing the wonderful message of the love of Jesus to all of mankind - our brothers and sisters in this world.
 
Hebrews 13:15-16 says, "Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise - the fruit of lips that confess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased."
 
I praise God for His presence within my heart, in my own life as I go forward and share the love of our Lord with everyone that I meet. 
 
I praise His holy name as I  go forward with His work as a part of who I am in Him. 
 
It is my payer for everyone to praise and walk daily in His light and glory  touching the hearts of all they meet  and sharing the love of our Lord, Jesus Christ. 
 
May all who encounter Jesus be filled with the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit on their lives and move forward in sharing His wonderful love.
 
In His precious name, Amen.
