Word of the Day
Beloved the tide has turned. Things are going to be different from now on. You are different and I have declared a new season of growth in your life. The time has come to study to show yourself approved (2 Timothy 2:15). I want you to put the jewels of My Word into your heart. Treat your heart like the treasure chest it is.
Yes, the tide has turned in your life enabling you to be blessed and to be a blessing in a whole new way. All things tying you down are now broken. Everything meant to trip you, to keep you bound and keep you from My blessings I break and remove. You are in a new day, a new time. The things of old have passed away forever and new life has already come (2 Corinthians 5:17). I am here to adorn you with a beauty of life and purpose more lovely than the lilies of the field. How beautiful and strong you are My beloved.
Like a baby growing in to a child, a child into a youth and so on, your understanding of Me grew and is growing, causing you to be more aware of Me in every way. How I rejoiced on the day of your natural and spiritual birth. Both were glorious to behold. My very breath brought you life and you knew Me. Even before you knew Me you were aware of Me. Maybe you didn’t understand it as such but I was there. The times you were alone and felt a loving presence, it was Me.
You see, chosen one, I created you in love and as an expression of all the love I am. I chose you to love and to give love. I formed you to be with Me now and forever.
The enemy works very hard to discount your great worth. It is a scheme against all those I love and have chosen. He knows I have great plans for you, but he doesn’t know everything. He just wants you to think he does. Besides if I told you all then he would know and you would have more than a battle on your hands. I lead you and show you bit by bit that you may remain faithful and have no fear. I show you bit by bit to increase your faith and enable you to live a life of trust, so trust Me today (Proverbs 3:5).
“Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth” (2 Timothy 2:15 Amplified)
Prayer
Thank you for the new day in my life. Thank you for making me new, for making all things new. Your Word has given me life and I choose to embrace it in all its fullness. I will not only be blessed but I will bless. Old things have passed away. My past and all its sin has been separated from me as far as the east is from the west. I only hold on to the love I received and the valuable lessons I learned. I use these lessons in my present and for future good. I receive the adorning administrations of the Lord in my life. My understanding has grown and will continue to grow. My worth is in the Lord and Him only. Help me to remain faithful and have a heart of complete trust. I trust in Him. Amen.
Reflect and Journal
1. He calls you beautiful and strong? Can you agree with His assessment of you?
2. If not, what stands in your way; the words of men, your own words and actions? Remember, He took all to the cross; past, present and future. Receive your great worth in Him.
Journal your thoughts about being the beautiful and strong love of His life? Tell Him so in a love note
Brenda,Thank you for this message. Today is my b-day-i turned 47 today and have been feeling like my life has been a waste…I have only been a Christian for 4 years and have felt like I got started too late to be effective…i still don’t know his purpose for my life-if I could have any gift today it would be to know what He wants me to do! This word for today has given me hope-thank you! in His love,Glo
Glo,
You are most welcome and know that you are only required to live the day you are in. When you look back you are like a three-legged man and lack the balance to walk uprightly.
Your life is not a waste and though you did not know Him, you have learned much which He can and will use.
There are only two things required and that is to love Him and love your neighbor as yourself…if you do these things you have done all He has asked you to and in the process destiny will unfold itself…destiny is the moment you are in and not a far off place…destiny is being in Him…which you are…look up to the hills from whence your help comes from…your help comes from the Lord…be encouraged my friend…He loves you and will walk with you as destiny unfolds…love and blessing Brenda
This is where the world views and God’s differ. To God, I am His love child and beautiful to Him, as I strive to live the spiritual life He has guided me to.
To the world, I am different and not that beautiful, as I cannot and will not blend in with the indifference displayed by other people in their actions and un-Godly comments.
This is where the church comes in, as we meet with like spirits of God. He made me what I am and even though I struggle to become more like His Son (he is the example to follow) I am not strong without His strength, His love and his wisdom in all things. I feel I am His and will act accordingly, as a Christian. He makes me feel so loved and needed…..
