Thanks you Jesus...

Dear Lord,
I am so thankful for your love. You are our mighty God. You created the most beautiful things in the heavens, the universe and the stars (Isaiah 40:35-36). All of creation is yours, and yet you still find favor in our sinful souls. I fall down on my knees, with my hands lifted high, knowing what He did for my life. I realize we are nothing; we were made from simple dust. And Lord, I'm thankful for your promise. That you cared for us so much you showed us by being among us. You gave us the MOST important gift of all! By sending Jesus to come to earth to be our ultimate sacrifice. He is the only one that can intervene for us at the Day of Judgment. Thank you that He paid for that price so we don't have to. I'm so thankful that you are so loving and caring. I see your hand guiding me through my life. My family is such a blessing for me! You've given me amazing parents that encourage me as I'm living for the Lord, and brothers that could be the BEST brothers a sister could have. I thank you Lord, for the people that pushed me to do better, and helped me along as I was at my weakest times. For the relationships that have helped me grow more spiritually. I am so thankful for the friendships that have brought me so much joy and happiness! I am also so thankful for a guy who really loves that Lord and wants to serve him.
I am thankful for this bible school that has taught me so much about you Lord and has opened my eyes to see your goodness and greatness. I'm thankful that you listen in the times that are hard and you answer my prayers. I'm thankful that I have had so many opportunities to serve you, and I pray for more!
There is so much to be thankful for my Jesus! You are so wonderful.
Amen.
This week I have had my eyes opened! I've read through the whole bible last year, but no matter how many times you read it… you will always find new revelation from it. Well we’ve been studying the book of Isaiah, with probably one of the best teachers we could have for this book. His name is Meno, he is from Israel and was originally a Jew. Until he met famous Jimmy Deyoung…but that’s another story...
This week God has opened my eyes to show me that He has FULLY showed himself to be Christ in the Old Testament, and his covenant is so clear. There are so many verses that I would love to share with you, but here are couple that have really encouraged me this week.
Isaiah 9:6 – For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
12:4 – Give Thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted.
42:10 – So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
53:4-6 and 10 <3
59:16 – HE saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene; so his own arm worked salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him.
So this class has been encouraging me to dig deeper in the bible and it’s so exciting!
My ministry every week at Danube International church as a Sunday school teacher has been going very well! It’s been really great thinking of creative ideas to teach the lesson and have a good time with the kids. I feel like we are getting to know them more and what their needs are! Keep praying for Chaz and I as we serve that Lord in this way. Also I will be teaching the children with John over Christmas break since I will not be coming home this year. So please keep me in your prayers and thoughts over Christmas because I will be missing you all dearly. However I pray that the Lord will give me many oppertunites to serve him here in Budapest and I stay with friends that have unsaved families.
**If you want to look more into my school or have questions please get in contact with my parents at gilbertrhu@msn.com or my school at Eletszava.org

I pray that you GIVE THANKS today for everything you have!! <3
Peace&Love inChrist alone
