Scripture Memory 2012: Verse 10

During the day when I am working in the kitchen or cleaning the bathrooms (when that actually happens!), I like to listen to Beth Moore online. This website has a ton of lessons archived from radio broadcasts:

I was listening the other day to her series called, "Measureless Love" (a six part series starting on March 26, 2012). The series was all about God's measureless love for us. She reminded us how amazing that concept is coming from a God who is so meticulous about measurement (like all the measurements for the temple and in Job 38:5 when God talks about marking off the dimensions of the earth's foundations, etc.). It was a really powerful series, and this was the main passage she used and my memory verse from this time around:

Megan L. from San Marcos: "I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3:16-19 NIV

Scripture Memory 2012: Verse 9

Hi Ladies! I hope everyone is hanging in there with this Scripture Memory Challenge!

My friend, Rebecca, who is doing this challenge is an amazing digital scrapbooker. A couple of days ago I got the following email from her:

Hey there! I just wanted to share this with you in case you want to share it with your scripture memory blog readers. I created some digital notecards that I'm using for my memory verses, which I then print out. I've packaged up the designs and made them available on my digi scrap blog, they are free for anyone who wants them.

If you go to her blog you will see how stinkin' cute the notecards are. And they are free! Sweet. Thank you so much, Rebecca!

Now for my verse:

Megan L. from San Marcos: "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity." Colossians 3:12-14 NIV

I feel like this verse is the key to sanctification. If I could just get this mastered I would be all set! ;-) I also love how Paul starts with reminding us of God's love for us--that we are "dearly loved." What a beautiful phrase and the best motivation for striving toward holiness.
