YOU ARE GOD’S BELOVED CHILD. – EPHESIANS 1 : 4, PROVERBS 16 : 9, JEREMIAH 29 : 11, EPHESIANS 1 : 13 – 14

“YOU ARE GOD’S BELOVED CHILD. GOD chose you before the foundation of the world, to walk with HIM along paths designed uniquely for you. Concentrate on keeping in step with GOD, instead of trying to anticipate The LORD’S plans for you. If you trust that GOD’S plans are to prosper you and not to harm you, you can relax and enjoy the present moment. Your hope and your future are rooted in heaven, where eternal ecstasy awaits you. Nothing can rob you of your inheritance of unimaginable riches and well-being. Sometimes GOD grants you glimpses of your glorious future, to encourage you and spur you on. But your main focus should be staying close to The LORD. GOD sets the pace in keeping with your needs and HIS purposes.”

Scripture

. . . just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love. EPHESIANS 1 : 4 (NKJV)

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. PROVERBS 16 : 9

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” JEREMIAH 29 : 11

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. EPHESIANS 1 : 13 – 14

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to walk in the Spirit today, to stay attuned to what you want me to say and do. And help me to relax and enjoy the present moment, knowing you have me in the palm of your hands. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

LEARN TO LAUGH at yourself more freely. – PROVERBS 17 : 22, PROVERBS 31 : 25, MATTHEW 1 : 23, MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 30

“LEARN TO LAUGH at yourself more freely. Don’t take yourself or your circumstances so seriously. Relax and know that The LORD IS God with you. When you desire GOD will above all else, life becomes much less threatening. Stop trying to monitor GOD’S responsibilities—things that are beyond your control. Find freedom by accepting the boundaries of your domain. Laughter lightens your load and lifts your heart into heavenly places. Your laughter rises to heaven and blends with angelic melodies of praise. Just as parents delight in the laughter of their children, so The LORD delights in hearing HIS children laugh. GOD rejoices when you trust HIM enough to enjoy your life lightheartedly. Do not miss the Joy of GOD’S Presence by carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Rather, take The LORD’S yoke upon you and learn from GOD. The LORD’S yoke is comfortable and pleasant; HIS burden is light and easily borne.”

Scripture

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. PROVERBS 17 : 22

She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. PROVERBS 31 : 25

“The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.” MATTHEW 1 : 23

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11 : 28 – 30

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me to enjoy life lightheartedly and trust you with the rest. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

GOD HAS LOVED YOU with an everlasting Love. – JEREMIAH 31 : 3, ISAIAH 61 : 10, 1 PETER 2 : 9

“GOD HAS LOVED YOU with an everlasting Love. Before time began, GOD knew you. For years you swam around in a sea of meaninglessness, searching for Love, hoping for hope. All that time GOD was pursuing you, aching to embrace you in HIS compassionate arms. When the time was right, The LORD revealed Himself to you. GOD lifted you out of that sea of despair and set you down on a firm foundation. Sometimes you felt naked—exposed to the revealing Light of The LORD’S Presence. GOD wrapped an ermine robe around you: HIS robe of righteousness. GOD sang you a Love song, whose beginning and end are veiled in eternity. GOD infused meaning into your mind and harmony into your heart. Join The LORD in singing HIS song. Together you will draw others out of darkness into GOD’S marvelous Light.”

Scripture

The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.” JEREMIAH 31 : 3

I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ISAIAH 61 : 10

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. 1 PETER 2 : 9 (NKJV)

LET GOD HELP YOU get through this day. – 1 CORINTHIANS 10 : 10, LUKE 1 : 79

“LET GOD HELP YOU get through this day. There are many possible paths to travel between getting up in the morning and lying down at night. Stay alert to the many choice-points along the way, being continually aware of GOD’S Presence. You will get through this day one way or the other. One way is to moan and groan, stumbling along with shuffling feet. This will get you to the end of the day eventually, but there is a better way. You can choose to walk with GOD along the path of Peace, leaning on GOD as much as you need. There will still be difficulties along the way, but you can face them confidently in GOD’S strength. Thank The LORD for each problem you encounter, and watch to see how GOD transforms trials into blessings.”
