Psalm 8:5; Psalm 17:8; Luke 12:27-28

God's word tells me that Jesus gave up the glory of heaven to come to earth and make a way for me to be redeemed from my sin...and regain fellowship and intimacy with the Father. "Behold, what manner of love the Father has given unto us...that we should be called sons and daughters of God!" When my daughter Glory Bethel was born, we felt impressed to give her this very special name. Glory (the weight of God's presence) Bethel (the house of God - the dwelling place of His glory) is a constant reminder of the truth of who we are in Christ. In Christ, I have become the temple of the living God...the very Creator of the universe lives in me! Christ in me is the hope of glory! His glory is ever-present with me and in me by virtue of the blood of Jesus and my salvation! I am His workmanship, therefore I am a reflection of who He is, created in His very image! When He thinks of joy, I come on His mind. And He enjoys being with me...and desires my presence more than I desire His! I was the pearl of great price (even though my sin made me unworthy...the mystery of His great depths is unsearchable!) He thought was worth the glory of heaven to purchase...with His own blood. How can my heart contain the richness of the vastness of the weight of that truth? It cannot! It can only overflow with the very glory His life is in me! For Glory Bethel Jernigan. I love you...and you are my glory...
