Ephesians 3: 19 (Kjv)

   Several days ago, God was speaking to my heart in my time of bible reading, reminding me that how I see is important, and what I see is important. He was really just trying to re-adjust my view, which can also be referred to as my world-view. How we see what is going on in our lives and all around us, that matters, it is important that we are allowing God to adjust again our way of seeing. And how we see can also affect the inside of us as well. God also reminded me of His love, And sometimes we need those reminders, as human beings, from the God who sends down those Heaven love-notes, we mind call them. And today, something happened in my life that just made my day, to others around me, I do not know what it meant, but to me personally, it was God reminding me of His goodness, and that He is still on the move, He still good, and all the time He is. I walked into a certain store. And while I was there killing time as I like to call it while waiting on someone, an older lady was in line, and another lady told her to get in front of her. And when she accepted the gracious woman's offer, the cashier checking her out gave the price needed, which was one dollar even. And the one who had let her go in front to check out said, let me cover that for you, and said Merry Christmas. And then it seemed to me almost like a short church sermon displaying the grace of God, how good He is, for everyone to hear. I do believe God accomplishes things like that, He bring church to anywhere we are, even in a Dollar Store. Then the cashier began saying, I don't know how He does it, but God always does it. God is good, she said, and all the time, God is good. Between those three ladies, though I did not know anything about them, but what I do know for certain is that God's grace and love was being witnessed through the words of those three today, and I was reminded again of my heavenly Father's goodness. Sometimes we just need those Heaven-notes, and they may come when we least expect it, but please be aware of them when they come to you, because God speaks to our hearts in different but very personal ways. He will sometimes ask you this question: What do you see? And other times He will say, Know my great love for you, child, such a love that cannot even be described into enough words, nor completely understood, but it just is, because I AM. And other times these Heaven-notes, these reminders from above sent by the Father's own hand, will arrive right when we need them, they will speak to our hearts, even through only a few ladies who delight in speaking about God and His grace, and then go about their separate ways. And on the way out of the store, I had the chance to tell one of them simply put, that as a Christian, their conversation about God that was just spoken, it made my day, because it absolutely did, thanks to the Lord. I never want to take for granted those Heaven-notes, Thanks to my heavenly Father for sending one today. He encourages us, He is our Comforter, He knows what we need to hear, and when we need to hear it, and He knows when we need to be reminded of His amazing love for us. The following Heaven-note is for you, the readers, because mine already came today... Thank you, again, Jesus.

God loves you more than you can possibly understand, His thoughts toward you are innumerable, you are very valuable to Him, so if you ever doubt His love, let that doubt lead you into His strong and gracious arms. God is not angry with you, but He is waiting for you, He is waiting for you to make the journey to Him if you have not yet. It is not about religion, it is about Jesus, that is all it ever has ever been about, how much He can forgive, I know and am thankful for His forgiveness, I need it, I need His love, I need all He has to offer me, we all do daily, we are desperate for Him in our lives. We do not, not one, deserve God's love toward us, from a certain stand-point, we are not worthy of Him or any good thing that He graciously gives to us every day, but it has everything to do with how He sees both you and I, He sees through His eyes of grace, it is not about us, we cannot do anything to earn this great love He extends with opened hands, and thankfully, we do not have to. He cares about you and myself, just because He does. It is who He is. And I hope you understand this truth and consider it today, and let it lead you, Lord, let it lead us all, into such a greater appreciation of your grace and all of who you are.

And also, Jesus, I want to thank you for reminding me today again, of how good you are and how much you love us. Thank you for your Heaven-notes. I love you, Father, Thank you for loving me, and loving us all, so much more than we could ever fully imagine.
