Hello Dear Readers of FGGAM,
If you are reading this, I believe you are already growing in your spirit, like a flower bulb is already planted in the ground going through the stages it takes to bloom! And if you are not reading this, I believe God is drawing you near to COME to HIM, that His Word will be planted in your heart to grow and to bloom in full glory one day! The Word of God is the seed that grows in our spirit & it’s the glory of God we get the privilege to experience His Presence; and see! Thank you Jesus!
This letter today is to encourage you that you are more than a forethought to God! God is the Beginning and the End FOR you! God is For you! In talking to my mom this morning, she said something very powerful to me! “When you already know, you don’t want to be told what to do.” Isn’t that simple?
When you already know, you don’t want to be told what to do.
My mom began telling me what agrees with how Jesus teaches us the method of encouragement, which is to put courage in each other to make the best decision about anything; and to God be the Glory is best for us!
And, think of a child, whom you tell, “Don’t touch that hot stove, because it will burn you.” They don’t know what a burn is until they experience a burn, but also, they will most desire to do … that which they are told not to do. Isn’t this our sinful human nature?
There is a battle that begins, but Jesus is The Way to FREEDOM from these very things that are sent by Satan to both divide & harm us, BUT GOD will use to teach us LIFE in Christ!
From Genesis to Revelations, God is the God of HOPE; and God is not surprised by anything we say, think or do! God is the God of all Comfort and the Father of Compassion / Mercies! Did I quote that right? Will you look it up in your Bible to confirm?: The address is 2 Co. 1:3-5. By the way, I did look that up as well, to confirm before posting to honor God in all that I know to do; to do correctly, AND, there’s more in that verse to find! Because the “SO THAT” matters to us to understand! God is kind to tell us!
So, as the Spirit of the Living God molds my words to you, this is an encouragement to you that God loves you! …which you probably have heard about; or known about before? But have you known this? God wants us to seek to get understanding of how to be set free from guilt, shame and condemnation.
Religions sometimes condemn us, but the relationship in Christ sets us free from shame, guilt and the condemnation from sin. Will you go your Bible and read Luke 4:18? as Jesus reads to us still today! (See Link Above).
Romans 8:1-2 English Standard Version (ESV)
Life in the Spirit
8 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
The encouragement Today is simply, to grow in your knowledge of God’s love for you
The encouragement Today is simply, to grow in your knowledge of God’s love for you! …(and as long as God calls this day Today) to not delay doing what is good for you; and also, for the good of those around you. Life & Love are connected to Life & Love! God has set before us …: COME to JESUS, because The Kingdom of God has come near to you Today!
To God be the Glory, it is the Holy Spirit, who is of the Truth who draws you to Jesus, who is the Truth, to agree with God, who sent us the Truth. Jesus is the Truth, who died for all, was buried for all, and has been Resurrected from the dead to life for all who will believe. That’s including and personal to you and me and all who will confess and believe!
The highlighted verse of Today is a powerful Scripture today!
God is the Beginning and the End … of _______ ! Could you say you? Could I say me?
What is God saying to you Today about how much HE has SO LOVED you! ?
Forethought defined: Careful consideration of what will be necessary or may happen in the future.
You Are More Than A Forethought To God – He IS The Beginning & The End FOR you! Because He knew you before you were born!
If we get this, we will never be the same!
Each day, these letters grow from my Daily Devotion, and so I share as God places. I hope this is a blessing to you as well.

The beginning & the end? What could God mean?
The beginning & the end? What could God mean?
Communication comes to mind! God has communicated through CREATION, His WORD, His LIFE! And His SPIRIT! His BLOOD & SALVATION & GRACE. And MERCY & PEACE & JOY! And HOPE!
We need HOPE!
We can’t improve our hope, God is the God of all hope; instead we grow in our personal relationship with God and gain knowledge of hope!
Through Christ, we can build ourselves up in our most holy faith; Now, faith is the substance that makes hope alive. God is the God of all hope!
God is the beginning and end to our selfish ambition & fasting is my personal WORD-UP for this day!
I have struggled in my understanding of the whole purpose of fasting for a few years. I have justified good enough & labled my things as what I give up for God.
But there is more to see here! And If we get this, we will never be the same!
Fasting is about becoming whole & empowering our prayers! This has been a 3 day learn for me AND only as God has allowed wonderful self-changing revelations to come!
It all started with confess to & pray for SO THAT!
The prayers of a righteous person is not that we are perfect, but that we are learning & growing / believe! AND God opens more windows & doors of understanding! TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! And to God be the glory!!!
What do we desire MORE THAN we SEEK to LEAN on God’s GIFT of the Holy Spirit?
COMFORT? in food? Now we are back to fasting!
I will leave you with this encouragement!
Say Good morning to God & take YOUR time TO pause long enough to be filled with HIS power and grace!
Learn to say YES, your grace is sufficient my Lord Christ Jesus! Sing Praises from your soul to God who is greater than thee!
Get help from those who sing better than you & let your praises be greater than your pain!
DON’T LET YOUR HURT HURT YOU! If you are lonely, you have a friend CLOSER to you & from the beginning to the end has always been! HE will fill you with power, grace and pleasure in the comfort of His Presence with you!
Say thank you to God for His goodness & NOTICE HIS story thru His gift to you!
If you bought a gift for some one you loved, it was more than just the purchase …
TILL NEXT TIME!
Till next time! “Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
The address in the Bible is found in 2 Corinthians 1:2, and this is the NIV today.
LOVE IN CHRIST,
