By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us—set us right with him, make us fit for him—we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus. And that's not all: We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his door to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand—out in the wide open spaces of God's grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise.
There's more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary—we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit! Romans 5:1-5

I am so excited about what God is doing! I think that those of us that HE HAS CHOSEN to use for this end-time ministry should count it pure honor and take very serious the call. Wow, he chose you and he chose me; this blows my mind! Who am i that he would call me friend! I soooo long to please and serve him. My prayer today for the saints is that God release and stir within our spirits an overwhelming desire to seek, know and respond to his word/will, in the name of our Lord, Jesus.
