I was given a gift

Recently I became the humble recipient of a gift.
A new friend of mine, who I am becoming very fond of, began every once in a while, to send me a scripture.

Now I'm sure many of you non-denominational or other have been "sent" scripture. This is different. This person gave me the chapters and the verses as an honest offering of not only affection but true caring. More then that, they having apparently no ulterior motivation what so ever, gave them to me not as a "forward" from some other source, not at all. They gave each one as an offering of the knowledge they are gaining of me and what they felt I could use to hear. There have been three now. And it is my hope by sharing one here that I can somehow thank this person. Not for giving there opinion of me, not for staying "in the word" but I want to thank them for attending to me. Yes for actually serving me as a friend and a sister as a fellow human being.

So Richard, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and more.

Gift Three 1st Peter 5:10
"But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you."

"To Him be the glory and the dominion forever" indeed.
