live. laugh. love.

good morning sunshines in my life.

the current time is 10:36am and i just started my day.
i dreamed last night that i read 1 peter... so i woke up this morning and decided to read it.

i made some YUMMY coffee and sat in my little chair and read this truth.

[soooo sometimes when people post scripture, i kinda read what they write and then skip over the scripture part... and if thats you... than you lose on this blog post, cause the scripture is the good part. :) ]

come with me to 1 peter. :)

 1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen 2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure.

LOOK! theres the trinity all right there. 
 >> God chose me according to his foreknowledge. [he knew everything and he still picked me... wow]
 >> Spirit for sanctification.
 >> ...to obey Jesus Christ and be washed in his blood.


grace.  and peace...  in the fullest measure.


[ok... so i was reading over this next part... too much. wow. please read it. all!]


 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a *living hope* through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, 7 so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 8 and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

[breathe. so much goodness!]

 10 As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries, 11 seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look.

 13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, 15 but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; 16 because it is written, “YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.”

[thats not even the whole first chapter... so much to think about and meditate on... wow.]

mmm... so good.
well thats the WORD for the morning.
