Loving God for Himself
Even when I feel most alone, I know I am not!
Jan Loyd is a child of God, a disciple of Christ, a Jersey girl, a former nun, a teacher, and now a wife of 48 years, mother of two, grandmother of 5 boys and finally a baby girl...these are just some of the hats she wears or has worn. Her hat as teacher has seemed to be one she’s worn her entire adult life, ranging from teaching elementary school, homeschool, adult ESOL and GED language and writing. But along with all of these opportunities has been her favorite above all the rest: teaching women the Word of God in various ways, Precept Upon Precept and Bible Studies she’s developed by the grace and tutelage of God along the way. The heart of the message that she delights to share is that we are in union with the Living God through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Currently you may find her on her devotional blog “A Branch in the Vine” where she shares several times a week and in her Bible Study/ devotional book The With-ness of our God: Relationship in Every Dimension.
Even when I feel most alone, I know I am not!
God sees you and gets you and is moved with compassion over you.
That’s when I heard the Voice and saw the Smile that destroyed my religion.
Please open the door and make it plain that it’s Your timing and Your words that I have.
Have you found that it’s much easier to find others to weep with you in your distress than rejoice with you in your success?
We are always asking for stuff in addition to Christ…but HE is the Stuff. He is All!
I trust Him to draw the early conscious thought of my days to His Lordship.
Jesus calls me to take on HIS yoke…I don’t try to get Him to take on MY yoke.
“Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—The saints’ and angels’ song.”
As I cried, grieved, prayed, and journaled, the lightbulb went on!
