Word of the Day
y eyes have scanned the horizon, viewing all the beauty of the heavens and earth only to find nothing to compare with you. I know I know I am proclaiming My adorations of love over and over, yet I must. Not just because you need to hear them, but because I love to say them.
Come join Me in a duet of mutual affirmation and love this very day. Pull aside and listen as you quiet your soul. Attune your spirit to Me and hear My still small voice radiate through the chambers of your heart. As a child gives a shiny red apple to his teacher, so give yourself to Me and I will proudly set you where all can see—where all can know you are My favorite one.
Yes, when I look at you, which is all the time, I see a tree, an oak of righteousness planted besides My streams (Psalms 1:1-3; Isaiah 61:3). You are dripping with the fresh rain of My presence and shall not whither. My glory is all around you like a thick, warm blanket.
The light of Heaven is dancing across in beams of sunlight to penetrate the moisture-laden air around you. Like the covey of geese flying through the air singing a joyous, rapturous song of coming spring, I sing over you, My love. I rustle through the wind chimes of your heart, singing a bird-like song of new love.
New growth is emerging in your life. One day you look out and the trees from a distance seem brown, yet they are teeming with new buds of life indiscernible to the eye. Next thing you know, they are an abundant display of green. So it is with you. Change your perception and do not base it on what you see or don’t see, for I have made all things new. I take every misgiving and replace them with promise.
Have a heart of praise and gratefulness. The buds of Spring are emerging and songs are being sung. Blossoms hold the promise of tomorrow’s fruit. And whether a bud or a full-grown tree, you are still the Apple of My Eye….Read Complete Love Letter…
“He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper” (Psalm 1:3 NKJV).
Prayer
Lord, I marvel at Your desire to tell me how much You love me on such a constant basis. Actually, it amazes me. I have done nothing to deserve such great love and tenderness. I didn’t even choose You first. You chose me. Our communion together is a mutual admiration in Your eyes. I pray it is and always will be so in mine too. Teach me to hear Your still small voice echoing across the chamber of my heart and thoughts. It is Your voice I want to hear and obey. It is You I want to desire in the same way You desire me. To know You as I am known is the song I will sing all my days.
I receive Your presence and Your glory as it surrounds me. Dance across every feeling and emotion and bring new light and life that I may walk in a steadfast and upright way. Penetrate every analytical thought that seeks to devalue or outshine Your Word whispered to my heart. Sing a new song over me and I shall be changed. Sing a rapturous song of joy and deliverance and I shall be made new. I give my heart in thankfulness and praise for whom You are, what You have done and all You will do. I am emerging with buds to new life according to Your Word. I am indeed the Apple of Your Eye. Amen
Reflect and Journal
- Take a moment and bask in His presence. Ask Him to dance His light of love and revelation in and through your heart. Then stop and listen. What is He saying?
- He wants to present you to those around you like a child would an apple to his favorite teacher. This implies love, adoration, respect and the desire to please. What does such a love mean to you personally?
- Relationship with the Lord is a mutual demonstration of love in harmony and can express itself like a duet. He is asking you to join Him in a one of a kind song known only to you and Him. Are you willing? If not, what is holding you back? Write whatever it is down and choose to let go and embrace His Word over your own misgivings or doubts.
- Take some time and write Him a love letter of adoration in response to this Word and accept all He says about you.
