"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."~from ISAIAH 61 Bible verse for this Blog

APOLOGY to READERS who followed a SEARCH to HERE & didn't find it

On July 18, 2017, I drafted almost 3000 blog posts that I had published since 2008 when I began blogging, rather than edit each one. So if you clicked here from somewhere else and ended up with the post unavailable or error, I am sorry but this is why. It'd be too much work for me to go back and fix them. There's an explanation on 7/19/17 as I'm still learning.

Chris Tiegreen's devotional
"The Promise of Lent"

"Lord, my life is shaped by the things I hunger for, and You have blessed me with a longing for the things of heaven. Continue to stir up my hunger for the good news of Your Kingdom. Rebuild the ruined places of my life, and strengthen the gifts and calling I have already received. Let me be a revelation of {*You}Your goodness, grace, and glory that I might live as part of Your PROMISE to display Your victory to the ends of the earth."~Chris Tiegreen, p.122
