Word of the Day
I am your vision no matter what happens in life. Know this: I work all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). I do not leave you at the prey of the enemy. I contend. Envision Me standing before you. Let Me be your vision, your focus, and set your face like flint (Isaiah 50:7). See Me standing beside those you love, drawing, wooing, with My Father heart of love.
I am revealing to you and to your family what a true Father is. Nothing escapes My notice, absolutely nothing. Look up to the mountain from whence your help comes (Psalms 121:1). Your help comes from Me, your Lord and Maker and no other, not from any man, only from Me. Chosen one, look up and see how much I am engrossed in your life. Look up into My eyes of love, and know your time has come. The day of deliverance is coming nigh, is drawing nigh for the completing of your family according to My order.
Be patient, and have faith (Psalms 40:1). Open your mouth, and let My faith pour into you, enabling you to endure. Open your mouth, and let My patient love speak through you (1 Corinthians 13:4).
As you behold Me with unveiled face, transformation born of My love for you is taking place. Transformation follows love. You are wonderfully altered by My love, and My love released through you transforms others. To love Me and to love them fulfills the highest call one could ever achieve. Everything flows from this principle. What a pleasure to use you as a manifestation of My love. Beloved, be patient; strengthen your heart, for I have come near to you (James 5:8).
“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit” (2 Cor 3:18 NASB)
Prayer
You are my vision, my hope the very breath of life breathing through my lungs, coursing through my veins. I trust you to work everything out in my life. I set my face, my thoughts and my love on You. I look into Your face, overwhelmed by what I see. I want to be as engrossed in You as You are in me.
Change my heart, my thinking as I meditate on Your Word. Deliverance is my portion, my inheritance, born from Your nail pierced hands and feet. I open up to receive Your enduring faith, Your enduring love. I am transformed by Your love and others are transformed by my love. Infuse me with strength of heart for You are near, nigh unto my deepest, most hidden places. I give them all to You. You are here. Amen
Reflect and Journal:
1. Take some quiet time and think on any wrong concepts of what a father is based on the demonstrations of men in or out of your family. Release them out loud to Him.
2. Vocally receive the Father’s heart for you and allow Him to release all His love, in the fullness of its transforming power. Do this daily, hourly or minute by minute until all doubt and unbelief are erased, till all the wrongful acts of men have been replaced with His truth.
I wonder at times if I truly understand just how patient His love is for me. It makes me stop and ponder, if His love is so patient for me, why do I have so little patience with others? Should I not rest in the fact that all things are for the good of those who are called according to His will? I do not feel anxious, but sometimes irritation seated deep in my soul, like a small pebble in your shoe. I recognize the pebble as the enemy. It is encouraging for me to know the Father is contending with that “pebble” on my behalf. I bless you for hearing the Father whisper that to me!
Debidoot,
Your comment has made me think of this in a totally different way. Yes, He is contending, dealing with the “pebbles” in our shoes. They have an effect on how we walk. Sometimes we become so comfortable with them we don’t realize we are walking with a limp of sorts. Purify our walk O’ Lord, with kindness lead us to repentance, wash us with the cleansing of Your Word. We submit.
Your friend in Christ
