Word of the Day
Though life sometimes seems so very far from the many declarations of love which flow from My heart, I want you to know I still feel the same—still feel the same as I did from the beginning of all time. Nothing has changed and it never will. What you have done or failed to do matters not in reference to My great love for you. You are still the same joy of My heart and always will be. Though circumstances of suffering and travail may have afflicted your soul causing you to act in ways grievous to your heart, I am still very much in love with you.
Though the enemy of your soul has lied in various ways about how I may or may not feel about you, I still love you as much as I loved you from the very conception of your being with My essence. Beloved you are part of My essence—My core and I so want you to have a revelation of this truth. No one ever created or ever to be created can have your unmatched, unique place of significance. You are truly a one of a kind intricately formed representation of Me. To put it simply; you are a visible representation of a piece of My heart never to be expressed ever again by anyone or anything.
Beloved, My relationship with you will be like no one else’s. I don’t want you to look at the relationship others have with Me and feel you have to emulate theirs in order to be where you need to be with Me. Remember I made you uniquely and how we commune will be distinctive in every way. Yes, the principals of relationship taught in My Word are true to all My beloved ones and yet they will be expressed in varied ways.
Principals are always worth following but the methods in which they are carried out are as varied as the creations of My heart. Many of My beloved ones have not had good examples of love and relationship and must at times observe others to learn. If you struggle, there is nothing wrong with observing others, learning from others. At times it is OK to emulate until you quite naturally fall into your own way of being with Me.
Today is the day to experience all I have said about you in a real and tangible way. A beautiful pattern or method of relating with Me is unfolding before your very eyes, before your heart today. Come up higher, Beloved. Come up to the place of faith where I am.
For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren. (Romans 8:29 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, sometimes life does seem to be the direct opposite of all Your declarations about who I am. Sometimes I look at circumstances and can’t seem to balance them with all You have proclaimed over my life. Therefore, I choose to take You at Your Word. I choose to confess and believe to the very core of my being that I am loved with such a great magnitude by You. Your love surrounds me with revelation and truth. I surrender the lies of the enemy and refuse to hold on to them in light of Your Word.
Lord, You are the stronghold of my life and I will not fear or believe the enemy as he casts doubts about Your nature and character. Help me not to compare my relationship with You as I look at how others worship and spend time with You. Teach me the principals of Your Word. Show me how to walk them out according to how You have made me…unique and beautiful, then, I will rise to a place in relationship with you such as I have never experienced before. I come up to a place of faith and beauty in You. Amen
Reflect and Journal
1. Have you let your failings, lack of doing, circumstances or wrong self-assessments get in the way of receiving such a great outpouring of His unchangeable love in your daily life?
2. Reflect on: You are a visible representation of a piece of My heart never to be expressed ever again by anyone or anything.
3. In what ways have you found yourself trying to follow someone else’s method used to walk out His principals instead of finding or adapting them according to how He made you.
4. Take time to reflect and seek Him about the new way or method of relating to Him He wishes to reveal to you. Write down what He speaks to you.
