“But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-16
Good Morning,
Wherever you are physically, mentally, spiritually financially, health-wise, God is here. He stands beside you. He holds you. He carries you. He desires to live within you through the Holy Spirit. The greatest truth is he loves you.
Whatever is occurring within you, God knows. He knows your heart. He knows your desires. He knows your needs. He is already where you need to go. He understands your wants and like a good father, the Heavenly Father loves to provide all that is good for you.
So today look in the mirror and acknowledge whose you are. This affirmation in Christ will cause you to become who he says you are. This day, this week, this month, this year…this life, walk as the child of God. Walk in the confident knowledge of whose you are. Walk in the humble example of our Savior, Jesus and love the loveless. Help the helpless. Bring hope to the hopeless. Care for the careless. Forgive the unforgivable. Pursue the righteousness that you have inherited as a child of God.
“But as for you, O man of God, flee from these things; aim at and pursue righteousness [true goodness, moral conformity to the character of God], godliness [the fear of God], faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith [in the conflict with evil]; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and [for which] you made the good confession [of faith] in the presence of many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:11-12 AMP
So today and every day for however many days that God has given you in this life, acknowledge you are His creation. Who or what can come against you? You are God’s and he is yours. The power that created all things, that controls all things, that provides all things, loves you. As you love him, you will begin your love yourself. As you love yourself as God loves you, the immeasurable gratitude as his child will invade all areas of your life. Doubt replaced with confident expectation. Purpose replacing wandering. Undeniable hope driving away despair and doubt. Oh can you feel it? The blood of Jesus beginning to course through your veins as righteousness permeates your body, your life, your witness.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life. What will you do with it?
You’ve got this.
