“STOKED”

I am also excited and encouraged that …

“Of course, the one thing that never changes is we’re stoked you’re with us,” finishes a postcard from the team at Telecom announcing a name change. From the middle of this year the name is SPARK.

I looked up “stoke” in the Collins English Dictionary and one of the definitions says, “to excite or encourage (a strong emotion) in oneself or someone else [from STOKE].

How good it is to read that the team at Telecom (telecommunications) is excited that I am with them. How good it is to hear that they are encouraged that I am with them.

“‘And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age,'” is the last sentence of the gospel of Matthew and the speaker is the Lord Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:20)

I am very excited and encouraged that the Lord Jesus Christ is with me “‘ALWAYS and to the VERY END OF THE AGE.'”

What more do I want?

“STICKING”

“Thanks for sticking with Contact,” is the last sentence in the letter I received today from Contact Energy Limited. Contact Energy Limited is supplying us with power. (Electricity)

Proverbs 18:24 tells us that “there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”

In the Bible we are reading also about the Friendship of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In John 15:15, (easy to remember) the Lord Jesus Christ says,

“I have called you friends, for everything that I have learned from my Father I have made known to you.”

Contact Energy Limited  is thanking me for sticking with them, but I am thanking the Lord Jesus Christ for sticking with me – already for more than 50 Years.
