Every Good And Perfect Gift

Word of the Day
As My Word settles down in your heart you will find yourself in position to teach and admonish others in the way they should go. Love will have its way and overcome sin. Songs will burst forth from your heart and release songs of deliverance over your life, over those you love and yes, even your enemies. Wisdom and insight will flow from newly formed streams of grace. This is what you desire. I can see it and for the most part this is what you do. Those desires you have to defend yourself at times are not uncommon to man. I know. I lived as a man, too. Why do you think I did it? For you, of course. Selah

Your freedom is of the utmost importance to Me. And you will walk in it completely if you remember this: just as stones thrown in the physical have the ability to hurt—to take life, so stones thrown in the form of words have power to do the same.

Pride makes one think more highly of one’s own self than they should. Consider repentance and humility to be your very best friends and constant companions. True humility comes from the awareness of one’s own lack of superiority and acknowledgment of apparent weaknesses, leading to the submission of one’s own self to the service of God and others—without judgment.

Goodness and Mercy follow you, longing to flow through you. Repent and forgive yourself and others. I do. Every good and perfect gift flows down from Me, My light, and My glory, free of charge (James 1:17). All is freely given. Now it is your turn to give in the same manner as I have given to you—become first fruits among those around you (James 1:18).

Every good gift and every perfect ( free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse]. And it was of His own [free] will that He gave us birth [as sons] by [His] Word of Truth, so that we should be a kind of first fruits of His creatures [a sample of what He created to be consecrated to Himself]. James 1:18 Amplified)

Prayer
Lord, my heart is surrendered to You and is full of songs of fruitful praise. Today I sing a new song to You and my life reflects the beauty of each and every note. Love is overcoming every obstacle, every barrier and every scheme of the enemy. Wisdom and insight flow from Your heart of light and revelation to me this very day. I choose to let You defend me and I will sing of Your name while entering Your gates with thanksgiving and praise. Freedom rules and reigns in my heart and life. I am an overcomer. Pride has no place in my heart and no place in my life. Repentance is my friend and humility clothes me like a mantle. Goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life and I dwell in Your house of love and forgiveness toward myself and others forever. Amen
