Titus 3:4-8
When the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,
He saved us,
not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy,
by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior
And in being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things,
so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.
We were living well. Moving fast. Flying here and there. Planning Vacations. Seeing Family. Going out.
And then, we all slowed down to have a crisis.
To find as the days develop, our own learning curve. In Resilience. Our Endurance. Our Hopes. The Daily Work finding and seizing This Day. To encourage, to teach, to be brave. To encourage ourselves. Our Fortitude. Gathering Strength, being a shelter. Providing Safety.
Being honest, dealing with emotions, conquering fleeting emotions. Discovering all the tools in our mind, our tool box. Finding Hope.
Care giving. Care phone calls. Sending masks. Sending supplies. Dampening down drama.
A man I admired, in Heaven, used to say,
"Always be a kind word. It could be the only kind word someone hears this week."
This is our time to find and provide, prevail, make precedent
for words and deeds
of Mercy.
for words and deeds
of Mercy.
God might say Love the Lord, by Trusting Him. Love ourselves and be merciful to ourselves, making the mercy we give others close to the amount of mercy we give ourselves.
We wonder, sometimes, when we read a whole Chapter, how to take this in. To delve to the portions our heart is warmed. A Bishop in Fort Worth once told me, focus on God's Love. Jesus has answered His Wrath for us all. God's Word tells us there is a time and a season. We can have introspection and growth. Yet I'm sure we can all recognize this season. This would be:
Be a font of Blessing.

Abba, Our Father God,
We ask You give us Your Blessings as we read from Your Comfort.
Blessing Families who used this time to enrich their families.
For Families who were afraid.
For those who were courageous during their illness.
Blessing those who have departed this earth and the emptiness their loved ones have.
To be filled again in all Your Promises.
For all of us who hope the next season will be met with Bold Favor of You, Our Father God.
We all have a personal miracle to remember with Gratitude as we ask Your Blessings Again.
And the Comfort we feel as we know You hear us!
This Day is Arriving, we hold the Faith.
We believe we live seeing Heaven upon earth.
For His Good will to provide for us.
To live to Seek God First and Live having Love, Peace and Joy.
Uphold those we Love. We Trust You.
We ask for the virus to end and Joy in Recovery.
God Himself Bless, Sustain, Comfort
