One Oh One! 101

"O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people  For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord." - Psalms 117:1-2

Dear Friends,

I praise God today, the One and the Only, Lord of Lords for this 101st blog entry.  To say that He alone is Worthy is to know this.

Years ago the Lord placed on my heart to write a newsletter: "Unique Inspiration."  I wrote and published the newsletter for some years and distributed it with the help of family and friends.  My mother was my proof reader. I remember also, the encouragement I received from the late Sis. Gertrude Ribbins who allowed me to put copies out in her family's bookstore.
 
In 2012 The Unique Inspiration appeared as a blog and through transition, my "Abraham to Israel" experience, I have journeyed to  "Tysthatbind."  The journey to get here has been due to the One! Oh! One! The Lord.   He continues to encourage me, to comfort me, through life. He stirs up the gift in me to encourage others.  

God's classroom, 101.  It is a lifetime experience.  There is growth but no graduate courses.  Graduation will be transition when we all get to heaven!  

I thank God for allowing me to share with each of you. I pray God's blessings upon your lives.  There is a tie that binds us.  The Holy Spirit links us, knits us, all together.  The Word of God tells us:

" That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." - Colossians 2:2-3

I encourage you today, knowing that we are bound together, remember to do this:

"Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." - Ephesians 4:31-32

And,

" Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
   - Ephesians 6:10-11 


             Blessed be the ties that bind our hearts in Christian
             love.  The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that
             above.

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie
