Your Mercy Goes Much Deeper

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icgNyxpawc8&w=448&h=252&hd=1]

Your mercy goes much deeper
Your grace it rescues me
Your mercy goes much deeper
Farther than I can see
I reach for You when I’m going under
I wait for You Jesus You’re my life-line

Where could I go
Where would I stand
How could I leave the shelter of Your hand
Where could I go
Where would I stand
How could I leave the shelter of Your hand
Farther than I can see
Farther than I can see
Much farther than I can see.

Keys to Eternal Treasures; Day718

Col 3:1  If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.
Col 3:2  Be mindful of things above, not on things on the earth.
Col 3:3  For you died, and your life has been hidden with Christ in God.
Col 3:4  When Christ our Life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.
Col 3:5  Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness (which is idolatry),
Col 3:6  on account of which things’ sake the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience,
Col 3:7  among whom you also once walked, when you lived in these.
Col 3:8  But now also put off all these things: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, shameful speech out of your mouth.
Col 3:9  Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds
Col 3:10  and having put on the new, having been renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,
Col 3:11  where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, slave or freeman, but Christ is all things in all.
Col 3:12  Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender feelings of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering,
Col 3:13 forbearing one another and forgiving yourselves, if anyone has a complaint against any. As Christ forgave you, so also you do.
Col 3:14  And above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.
Col 3:15  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which you also are called in one body, and be thankful.
Col 3:16  Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Col 3:17  And everything, whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.
Col 3:18  Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as is becoming in the Lord.
Col 3:19  Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter against them.
Col 3:20  Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.
Col 3:21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they be discouraged.
Col 3:22  Slaves, obey your masters according to the flesh in all things; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
Col 3:23  And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men;
Col 3:24  knowing that from the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance. For you serve the Lord Christ.
Col 3:25  But he who does wrong shall receive justice for the wrong which he did, and there is no respect of persons.

1.    Seek those things which are above
2.    Be mindful of things above, not on things on the earth.
3.    Put off all these things: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, shameful speech out of your mouth.
4.    Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds
5.    Renew in knowledge according to the image of Him
6.    Put on tender feelings of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering, forbearing one another and forgiving yourselves, if anyone has a complaint against any. As Christ forgave you, so also you do.
7.    Put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.
8.    Let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which you also are called in one body, and be thankful.
9.    Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
10.    Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.
11.    Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as is becoming in the Lord.
12.    Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter against them.
13.    Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.
14.    Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they be discouraged.9+
15.    Slaves, obey your masters according to the flesh in all things; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
16.    Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men;

There is Comfort; Day717; 35,595 Days

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of sympathy (pity and mercy) and the God [Who is the Source] of every comfort (consolation and encouragement),  Who comforts (consoles and encourages) us in every trouble (calamity and affliction), so that we may also be able to comfort (console and encourage) those who are in any kind of trouble or distress, with the comfort (consolation and encouragement) with which we ourselves are comforted (consoled and encouraged) by God.  2Corinthians 1:3-4

Lola Bebang (Britta’s grandmother) died yesterday at the age of 97. This morning, I had a dream that she was lying in bed at our house in Merida with my parents bedroom.  Her bed was placed perpendicular to my parent’s bed by the window. She looks healthy but a little frustrated and was speaking to me in a loud manner but no voice coming out from her mouth. I was trying to understand what she was trying to say and finally I received the message “Keep going and never give up …don’t stop now”. 

A few minutes after waking up, had my morning routines and then when I opened my daily devotional, the message today is about mourning.

It’s been 820,540,965.40 seconds (26 years) since we started our journey together.  The journey was not all that perfect.  There were some good times and there were some bad times.  If someone asks if I  will change anything- I will say “I will do the same thing over and over again with you”.  I just love the way we are.  I love the way we become and I enjoy watching our family move forward everyday. I have no regrets. May we continue to spend our lives together till the end of time.
