Valentines day. A day all about love and yet not. We have had a relaxing start to the day and I needed rest and so have taken it slow today. I am physically OK just needed some rest but I did sleep well last night. We are expecting friends from Northern Ireland and we know this will be a real time of blessing. The letter came through with the time of the scan and its at 1:45 tomorrow. This will be to scan the whole body other than the brain to see if the cancer has progressed. We would value prayer for God's sovereignty and blessing in this.
Someone text me about Genesis 37 this morning and how the Lord was with Joseph even in the midst of his trials. I was also reading Job and how God was with him in the midst of his trials too. Romans 15 v 13 says' May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope'. God is a God who loves his people. The Greek word for the love Christ has for us is Agape. It is unconditional, God loves us even though we mess up and fail. 1 John 4 says 'This is love, NOT that we loved God but that He loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins'. The greatest love ever is that of Christ for us.
Thank you for all your continued prayers. I have been so humbled by how often people are praying for us too.
Verse for the day: Job 38
Prayer for the day: Pray for us to know the love of God every day. Pray for the scan tomorrow and for us having to wait a week for the results. Pray for continued strength for my body and the ability to sleep well each night. For our families to be ministered to by the Lord and for their wait on results too. For wisdom for all the doctors and nurses when they deal with us.
I'm so pleased that you and Anne have had a happy and busy week with precious family and friends. We are thinking about you especially today, praying constantly, as always.
