Today, I am thankful for:
- The community I am a part of at IPA--the faculty and the students
- My hard-working husband who has been working tirelessly on our new home to get it move-in ready
- My hanai sister, Lilia Tau'a, who's going off to college in a few days!
- A brand new day!
- Spiritual Encouragement... see below...
Christ suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God. (1 Peter 3:18)
The gospel is the enjoyment of fellowship with God himself...
- We are forgiven so that our guilt does not keep us away from God.
- We are justified so that our condemnation does not keep us away from God.
- We are given eternal life now, with new bodies in the resurrection, so that we have the capacities for enjoying God to the fullest.
“In your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11).
