His Qualities Imparted

Dear Friends in Christ,

There are many qualities from our God that He imparts to us through His Word.  In my last entry, I listed 7.  There are now 24 that are written on my heart, so I will share the first 8.

Passion:  "And He said to them, I have earnestly and intensely desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;" Luke 22:15  Amplified Bible     "And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to Myself." John 12:32 NLT

Purity:  "And everyone who has this hope [resting] on Him cleanses (purifies) himself just as He is pure (chaste, undefiled, guiltless)." 1 John 3:3  Amplified Bible

Praise:  "Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to His Name."  Hebrews 13:15 NLT

Presence:  "You will make known to me the path of life: You will fill me with joy in Your Presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand."  Psalm 16:11  NIV

Peace:  "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence.  In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]!  For I have overcome the world.  (I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.)"  John 16:33  Amplified Bible

Power:  "And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as My Father promised.  But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven."  Luke 24:49  NLT

Prayer:  "Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;"  Romans 12:12  KJV  "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.  Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done."  Philippians 4:6  NLT

Pardon:  "Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me.  He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.  He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies.  He fills my life with good things.  My youth is renewed like the eagle's."  Psalm 103:2-5  NLT
