Praises

3 John 11 "Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God."

   Lord, I have to confess that this verse needs none of my commentary.  It is what it is and You have made it very plain.
      So today I will praise You!  I praise You today for Who You are.
You are:
Holy-in You there is no sin at all.  Therefore I never have to question Your thoughts, words, motives,  or actions.

Righteous- ALL that You do and say is right and we can depend on that.

Pure-  In You there is no impurity, no filth, no debauchery.

Just- ALL of your judgements are fair.  We, in our human minds because of dark understanding, may not understand them or see them as fair; but when we look at You, we KNOW that they are, even if we don't understand.

Good- Everything You do is good.  Again, we may not see the good in what You do or allow, but it does not change the fact that You cannot do anything other than good.

Loving- Lord, You could have never done anything more loving than to offer Yourself, THE SPOTLESS LAMB, for MY filthy rotten sin.  You took MY wage of death, took the punishment for ALL of MY sins upon You and paid MY price to redeem me!  Now You keep me by Your grace and mercy each day.  I can never praise You enough for that even through all of eternity!

Generous and Patient-  You allow the rain to fall on the just and the unjust.  You give all of creation to all men to enjoy.  Your judgements are never rash or a knee-jerk reaction, but You always send warning in hopes that some will repent.  You have given me far more than I deserve.

Lord, You are full of majesty, glory, and all honor is do You, my sovereign King!
