The Grands Letter (Late Edition) (GLJ)
Gene L. Jeffries, Th.D. on October 12, 2016 8:16 am (CST)Dear, Dear Grands,
1 Corinthians 8:5-6, “For even if there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth,
as indeed there are many gods and many lords, 6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father,
from whom are all things, and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things,
and we exist through Him.”
Yesterday, we learned that “all things are (ours).” Today, the Scriptures tell us
that everything has come from God and that we, who are His, exist for Him.
Think about that! We’re all quite sinful, even if our sins are not as egregious
as others. Yet, He loves us and does not cast us away. Rather, He wants to
forgive us again and again, just as our parents don’t cast us out because we
do wrong against them. He is without question the Creator of all things, and
we are alive because of Him. He has a purpose for our lives. In some ways,
His purpose for each of us is different; in some ways, His purpose for us is
the same. He helps us to sort out our strengths. Yet, when all is said and
done, we exist for Him! Be aware today of why you exist, and may God bless
you all day long!
We love and pray for you every day,
Nana & Dado III
