A Gift

I had an image of wrapping paper
and God showed me something amazing,
how a simple image can reveal so much
like explaining to a child God shown me this
so amazing. 



A gift of life
a gift of love
sent from God above
he carefully wraps his love around us
and seals us with his Grace
we look to the day
we will see his face
when you wrap and give a gift to
a loved one
you know how special it can be
and that is how God feels about you and me
God showed his love for us
the best way he possibly could
he wrapped his love around us
and covered us by the blood.


psalm 34  in sought the Lord, and he answered me;
    he delivered me from all my fears
Those who look to him are radiant;
    their faces are never covered with shame 
This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
    he saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
    and he delivers them.


 the new covenant

we  are wrapped
       sealed
   and delivered

thanks be to God Amen. 

Psalm 91:4
 
He will cover you with his feathers,
    and under his wings you will find refuge;
    his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart

Ephesians 1:13-14

13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

I  will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I confidently trust For then He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.
Psalm 91: 2-3   Amen


You are a hiding place for me; You, Lord, preserve me from trouble, You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance.
Psalm 32: 7



2 Corinthians 1
and he has identified us as his own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything he has promised us.

1 peter 1 1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
To God’s elect, exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, 2 who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood:   Amen
