“THIS IS A TIME OF ABUNDANCE in your life. Your cup runneth over with blessings. After plodding uphill for many weeks, you are now traipsing through lush meadows drenched in warm sunshine. GOD wants you to enjoy to the full this time of ease and refreshment. The LORD delights in providing it for you. Sometimes GOD’S children hesitate to receive My good gifts with open hands. Feelings of false guilt creep in, telling them they don’t deserve to be so richly blessed. This is nonsense-thinking, because no one deserves anything from GOD. The LORD’S kingdom is not about earning and deserving; it’s about believing and receiving. When a child of Mine balks at accepting GOD’s gifts, HE is deeply grieved. When you receive GOD’S abundant blessings with a grateful heart, HE rejoices. GOD’S pleasure in giving and your pleasure in receiving flow together in joyous harmony.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. PSALM 23 : 5 (KJV)
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” JOHN 3 : 16
“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” LUKE 11 : 9 – 10
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all— how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? ROMANS 8 : 32
Prayer: God thank you that you delight in providing ease and refreshment to your children. Oh how I need it Lord. Help me to be fully open to receive all you have for me today. Attune my heart to yours. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
