  • This blessed me tremendously as I read it this morning….


     


    In ancient times, whenever a sack of grain or trunk of goods was sent somewhere, the sender placed a wax seal on the package – a seal that was imprinted with the insignia on the sender’s personal ring. This seal had several purposes; it indicated that the contents of the package was authentic; the real thing; it stopped thieves from removing anything from the package until it arrived safely at it’s destination; it distinguished the package from others.


    You, dear friend, are a package sealed by the Holy Spirit. You are on your way to a specific destination if the Spirit dwells in you.


     ”you were sealed for the day of redemption”        Ephesians 4:30

  • What a lovely sit you have here.  I really like this passage.  It reminds me I have nothing to prove just keep on running the race toward the prize and  God’s seal is my vindication.  Thank you for sharing this. 

  • That truly is a powerful message. Thank the Lord that we are sealed by the Holy Spirit! Gold bless you and your family! Andrea

  • Good Post!  

    Thank God that I have His seal upon me. 

  • Amen!

  • Oh, that is a wonderful perspective, Georgene. I love it. 

    RYC: No, I didn’t even know about the other film, Through Gates of Splendor until last night. I would love to see it too. I remember my grandfather reading that book when I was just a little girl and he talked about it a lot and recommended it highly, but when I looked at it and saw what it was about it frightened me so I didn’t read it until after I was an adult. Then I found it so challenging and rewarding. I would love to see it on film now.  

  • Thank you SO much for this post!

  • i loved that “tidbit”  thanks for sharing!
