I wonder how many blessings we’re pushing away, how many of the good things God has for us that we’re not receiving. We feel unworthy; we don’t deserve it. Don’t go through life self-sabotaging, receiving the wrong things: the guilt, the doubt, the insecurity, defeating yourself.
Every day, receive what God says about you.
Lamentations 3 reminds us that God’s compassions, His mercies, are new every morning. Every single morning. What a gift! Each day we have the opportunity to approach The King and say, “Your will today, not mine.”
“I’m Loved, I’m valued/valuable, I’m approved, I’m worthy, I’m a masterpiece, I’m blessed, I’m favored, I’m victorious.” It’s The Father’s pleasure to give you The Kingdom. He has all the gifts, all these promises He’s spoken to you, dreams He’s whispered in the night. Instead of dismissing it, have a receiving mindset. With that childlike faith, “God, I’m in agreement. I know You can do it, I’m NOT letting go; let go and let God. Let it happen.”
I can’t brag about my love for the Lord because I am so unworthy and I fall so short of His glory. One thing that I can brag about, is that God loves me greatly and He is working in me daily to help me understand it more and more. If you are a believer write it down, put it on your wall, highlight it in your Bible, put it in your mind, put it in your heart, and don’t forget that God loves you.
“May The Lord direct your hearts to The Love of God and to the perseverance of Christ.” (2 Thessalonians 3:5) How do we direct our hearts to God’s Love? By meditating on His Word about His Love (the Psalms are a great place to start) and by praising God for His great Love. The more we meditate on and praise God for His infinite Love, the deeper we grow in intimacy with Him and in experiencing His Love.
