The message’s scripture is below as found in the 6th verse of Psalm 21:



Psalm 21:6
New International Version (NIV)

 

Surely You have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of Your presence.



As to share with future readers and to provide a brief quotation for critical review - I have included an excerpt of the (August 19th) message from an inspirational book - (of which I'd like to recommend). The below message was taken from "Jesus Calling - Enjoying Peace in His Presence" as written by Sarah Young. This book was written from the perspective as if JESUS - was saying "these words" directly to "you"!  (Please read the below inspirational message:)

-----------------

 I CONTINUALLY CALL YOU to closeness with Me. I know the depth and breadth of your need for Me. I can read the emptiness of your thoughts when they wander away from Me. I offer rest for your soul, as well as refreshment for your mind and body. As you increasingly find fulfillment in Me, other pleasures become less important. Knowing Me intimately is like having a private wellspring of Joy within you. This spring flows freely from My throne of grace, so your Joy is independent of circumstances.

Waiting in My Presence keeps you connected to me, aware of all that I offer you. If you feel any deficiency, you need to refocus your attention on Me. This is how you trust Me in the moments of your life.

 

 

 

Psalm 131:2

New King James Version (NKJV)



Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, Like a weaned child with his mother; Like a weaned child “is” my soul within me.

 

 Psalm 21:6
New International Version (NIV)

 

Surely You have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of Your presence.

 

Additional verses:

Psalm 37:7

New International Version (NIV)


Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

 

Nehemiah 8:10b
New King James Version (KJIV)

 

10b for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Thank You Jesus – Romans 5:6-9 – No Exceptions to God’s Love

 

This is Namma for Christ with the two hundred ninetieth inspirational message dated Tuesday, August 5th, 2025. The title of this message is “Thank You Jesus – Romans 5:6-9 – No Exceptions to God’s Love”.

The first three words of this message’s title are also the words of the title of the below anointed song/video, “Thank You Jesus (with lyrics)” as performed by Josh Baldwin.

The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this message) is from the sixth through the ninth verses of the fifth chapter of Romans:

Romans 5:6-9

New King James Version - (NKJV)

 

For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

 

The title of this message includes the words – No Exceptions to God’s Love – which is the “title” of the late Dr. Charles Stanley’s “In Touch” Daily Devotional for (July 30th, 2025) – which I have included below (Dr. Charles Stanley passed away on 4/18/23). Dr. Charles Stanley was the founder of the “In Touch” daily devotional. Those who work on behalf of this daily devotional are continuing its publication - as it ministers to readers around the world. I recently read the below message and wanted to share this message in “Namma for Christ”.

 

 No Exceptions to God’s Love

  Romans 5:6-9

 

      If you’ve been to church, then you’ve likely heard that God loves you and has a plan for your life. Do you believe that? Some, sadly, have decided verses like “For God so loved the world…” (John 3:16 - see verse below) don’t apply to them. They think they’re too weak, sinful, or broken to merit the Lord’s love.

John 3:16

King James Version - (KJV)

 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

God thinks you are special. Because of the heavenly Father’s love for the world, He sent His Son to die on the cross as a sacrifice for the sins of everyone living in the past, present, or future. None of us deserve His care and protection, but thankfully, deserving isn’t the basis for His love. In fact, God’s very nature is love (1st John 4:8 – see verse below), which He demonstrated through Christ’s death “while we were yet sinners” (Romans 5:8 – see verse below).


1st John 4:8

New King James Version - (NKJV)

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

 

Romans 5:8

New King James Version - (NKJV)

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

 

God cares so much for His children that He gives each one a unique place in His plan for the world. His followers are gifted with the specific abilities and attributes needed to carry out His individualized purpose for them in His kingdom (1st Corinthians 12:11 – see verse below).

 

1st Corinthians 12:11

New King James Version - (NKJV)

11 It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have.

THE LORD LOVES YOU.  He says so again and again in the Scriptures. That may be challenging to accept, especially if you’ve been mistreated by others – but don’t let those experiences detract from how He wants to bless you. Read His Word for yourself and see how deeply He cares for you, His beloved child.

 

I pray that you have enjoyed the above message and I pray that you will enjoy the accompanied song.
