Hi Brian!

This week I just have to share another Charles Spurgeon Morning Devotional. 

"Joint heirs with Christ." — Romans 8:17

The boundless realms of His Father's universe are Christ's by prescriptive right. As "heir of all things," He is the sole proprietor of the vast creation of God, and He has admitted us to claim the whole as ours, by virtue of that deed of joint-heir-ship which the Lord hath ratified with His chosen people. The golden streets of paradise, the pearly gates, the river of life, the transcendent bliss, and the unutterable glory, are, by our blessed Lord, made over to us for our everlasting possession. All that He has He shares with His people. The crown royal He has placed upon the head of His Church, appointing her a kingdom, and calling her sons a royal priesthood, a generation of priests and kings. He uncrowned Himself that we might have a coronation of glory; He would not sit upon His own throne until He had procured a place upon it for all who overcome by His blood. Crown the head and the whole body shares the honour. Behold here the reward of every Christian conqueror! Christ's throne, crown, sceptre, palace, treasure, robes, heritage, are yours. Far superior to the jealousy, selfishness, and greed, which admit of no participation of their advantages, Christ deems His happiness completed by His people sharing it. "The glory which thou gavest me have I given them." "These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full." The smiles of His Father are all the sweeter to Him, because His people share them. The honours of His kingdom are more pleasing, because His people appear with Him in glory. More valuable to Him are His conquests, since they have taught His people to overcome. He delights in His throne, because on it there is a place for them. He rejoices in His royal robes, since over them His skirts are spread. He delights the more in His joy, because He calls them to enter into it.

EVERYTHING that JESUS did, He did in obedience to the Heavenly Father and FOR US! There has never been a LOVE the likes of HIS! He withholds not one thing! There may be times when we fail to get ourselves lined up to RECEIVE what He has already promised, but HE will never stop reaching out and urging us to SUCCEED! Reading this today really struck a cord in my heart and caused me to see my daily life in a whole new way! We know by some recent events that HE has GREAT BIG PLANS for the Weber family in this next year, AND He is just getting started! You and Kristine have risen to and through every challenge like the champions you are! HE is WELL PLEASED and is going to reveal Himself in your lives more and more. We love you both and your beautiful ladies! Athletes all! Here is Brooke Ligertwood and Brandon Lake with a song I have probably used before, but I am SO ready for this NOW! "Honey In The Rock":

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
