Word of the Day
Beloved, each person is fashioned with an ability to dream and create and you are no exception. Each person is fashioned for and fit for good purpose and good works. To prove it, you have been given the Holy Spirit as a guarantee. He will lead you, guide you and bring you into all revelation and truth. The Holy Spirit will stir up the thoughts and desires of My heart already in you. For you do contain the thoughts and intents of My heart.
There is no difference between you or any other individually unique person who has done both the great and the small. I say small because men often grade on a scale I never use. I look at your heart and when it is obedient to do as it is prompted a smile can be as grand…as great as the building of Solomon’s temple. I know it is hard to grasp, but never the less, it is true.
Therefore, do you desire to write a book? Then write a paragraph. Do sense the longing to see others healed? Then step out and pray for the sick. Do you long to see eager minds absorb the truth…to learn? Then become a teacher. Do you desire to build great buildings? Then become an architect or help the underprivileged build houses. Do you desire to see babies saved from the cruelty of abortion? Then volunteer at a pregnancy center. The list of opportunities can go on and on according to the many facets of who I am in you and those I love. Be free to express yourself and your personality. After all I made both and both are good.
Come into a time…come to a time of residing in green pastures as David did. Come and see what it is I do in this day and hour. Come and be with Me. When you do the dreams and desires of your heart will become vivid and they will pull you like a magnet to fulfill all I have planned. Revel in the beauty of who I say you are. People are not attracted to sour grapes but they are attracted to sweet honey.
Mediate on these words in the days to come and I promise you it will build a growing anticipation to dare to carry out all the desires of your heart. Dare to dream…dare to do?
By faith we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible. (Hebrews 11:3 Amplified)
Now He Who has fashioned us [preparing and making us fit] for this very thing is God, Who also has given us the [Holy] Spirit as a guarantee [of the fulfillment of His promise] (2 Corinthians 5:5 Amplified)
Prayer
Father, it is an awesome wonder to think You have called me to be with You…to dream as You dream, to love as You love, and to be as You created me to be. I thank you for the privilege of fulfilling Your purpose, in me. I will step out in faith to accomplish all You have put in my heart.
Thank You Holy Spirit for being my guarantee, my helper, and my comforter and for encouraging me to do all I am called to do. You are perfect love…and Your love cast out all my fear as I surrender my worries and concerns to you. Reveal Your perfect love to me on a moment by moment basis and I will be completely whole and unafraid.
Because of Your great love, I enter into a whole new adventure with freedom to express myself according to the personality You have created me to be. I am who I am and it is good.
As I abide in You, I rest in green pastures while seeing the dreams and desires of my heart become vivid landscapes before me. Truly I can I rejoice by faith in all that You are doing even before it is completed. I revel in the beauty of who You say I am, and I rejoice in the joy of my salvation. I dare to dream as I worship and praise You in the grace, mercy and intimacy of Your presence. Amen
