Good Wednesday morning Col Burroughs and Posse and Happy Hump day. Glad I got to post my thoughts before having to head out to the hospital. My spouse has some testing to do and I expect we will be there most of the day. I will get on via phone if I can but it is always sort of "iffy"
Complete is what all of us are. We are made in God's image. What we need is within us if we are willing to do the work of uncovering it and bringing our best into the light. I do a lot of that, helping people find the skills and the strengths they already have and using them properly. Good leaders are like that too; helping their people find and hone their skills.

I hope and pray that each adopted son and daughter of God has a strong sense of their completement in Christ. By YOUR grace YOU mature each of us day-by-day through sanctification of the soul. YOUR demonstration of sacrificial love reminds us that laying down our life for those we love is noble and sublime. Most of us lay down our will to YOU to demonstrate love to others. YOU honor obedience. ‘This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.’ [John 15:12-15 [ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
I pray for students in public, private, homeschool, in technical schools, colleges and universities including all military training. LORD I pray that YOU bless students with sufficient knowledge and endurance to complete their education. I pray that their parents/spouse encourages the students to complete education and not give up. I pray that YOU bless each with good health and enable them to encourage one another as they work towards completion of studies. ‘Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. [2 Timothy 2:14-15 ESV]
I pray for parents of toddlers and babies. I pray that they show their face unmasked to their children to demonstrate facial expressions of love, joy, sadness, anger, kindness, repulsion from bad smells. etc. Help them to demonstrate confession and forgiveness to their children. I pray that the youngest and most vulnerable are being loved and that they are reassured of safety and security.
I lift widows and widowers to YOU dear LORD. YOU blessed many with long-term relationships of love and human completeness. YOUR Word reveals that YOU are husband to widows. In a similar manner YOU complete the relationship for human widowers. I pray that each widow and widower is progressing through grief and that YOU punctuate their grief with joy abundantly. ‘For your Maker is your husband, the LORD of hosts is his name; and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer,
the God of the whole earth he is called. For the LORD has called you like a wife deserted and grieved in spirit, [Isaiah 54:5-6a ESV]
I pray that each husband and wife recognize that our spouse completes us and we submit our will to YOU in order to complete our spouse in a human relationship which approaches the relationship of the body of Christ to the LORD Jesus the Christ. I pray for a strong foundation of love in each marriage within the body of Christ. Let YOUR light shine through marriage throughout the world dear LORD. ‘Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.’ [Ephesians 5:22-38 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Wednesday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Thursday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
