I have a dream (blessed be the believers, part 4)


And I am so joyous to wait upon Him. To wait is to know something good is coming. My heart soars. (Isa 40:31) I have waited upon Him in trials as well as in good times. The result is always the same. God rewards me according to His Will and purpose, as well as, the delights of my heart and His love never ends. As He does all who believe in Him, trust Him and obey Him. What we get in return are relationships that are loving and kind in which we see just how much God loves us. We need one another, for comfort, encouragement, and to help up become like sheep keeping in line with our walk with God. (Hebrews 10:25). The church in which we worship is not the building with bricks and mortar; we are the church, we are the holy priesthood. We are His elect. (1 Peter 2:5) And we are accountable in how we walk and how sincere our worship is (Revelations 11:1) because of the example that we show to one another. In fact individually the relationship between and among fellow Christians must be just that—relationships--and they must be built up. We must help each other grow, because when that happens we fulfill the Law, God’s Law. (Hebrew 10:25) All the apostles knew the greatest of these is love and that is God for God is Love (1 John 4:8). And, as are all those who follow Him, I am consecrated to Him as1 Peter 2:9 describes. Consecration is a devotion to the God by worshipping Him. Just as the Levites were consecrated in Exodus 13:2 and12-15.
