Word of the Day
My beloved, I am with you at this moment in time and My heart is being stirred by your beauty. Thoughts about you are emanating from Me, sending waves of joy from My being like rays of gentle sunlight.
How intricate and mysterious you were while being formed in the depths of your mother’s womb (Psalms 130:13). Even though I had always known what you would look like, I still longed to see the color of your eyes, the softness of your hair. How I loved the moment your heart spoke its first beat, and when your fingers curled in your mother’s womb as if to hold My hand. Yes, My beloved, I was very involved in every aspect of your being and I still am. My love for you has never ceased or in any way slackened. My attention has never waned and I still love everything about you, from the slightest inflection on your face to the grandest gestures of praise.
Within the inner recesses of your being deep within the very heart of you, a place of habitation was fashioned for Me to dwell in. Yes, you were fashioned to hold the very light of My presence. Before there was ever a twinkle in your daddy’s eye there was a twinkle in Mine. You already existed in Me and were given grace before the beginning of all time (2 Tim 1:9-10). A father only waits nine months, but as for Me, the wait to see you manifest in the physical was so much longer, but well worth it. Can you see Me smiling? I am.
I see things about you indiscernible to the human eye. Things so complex, even I marvel at the wonder of what I see. How I longed for you, waited for you. The angels are in awe of you. I am in love with you. Let Me shower you with affection and tenderness today.
Take some little moments to reflect and see Me standing over you while you were in the womb—see Me standing by you right now. O’ how I adore you, for you are My chosen one. I am whispering these things to your heart—to your spirit because I want you to feel absolutely loved on this day in particular and every day after.
I know there are many more things I could discuss with you, many things I could be teaching you but what good will they do without the revelation of love. Beloved, today is like taking a day at the spa and being pampered. Today is the day for love. Let Me massage the hard places of your heart with My presence—with My Word. Let Me drench you with the warm oils of healing. Yes, today is a day for love. Come and be loved on by Me.
“… [For it is He] Who delivered and saved us and called us with a calling in itself holy and leading to holiness [to a life of consecration, a vocation of holiness]; [He did it] not because of anything of merit that we have done, but because of and to further His own purpose and grace (unmerited favor) which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began [eternal ages ago].
[It is that purpose and grace] which He now has made known and has fully disclosed and made real [to us] through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, Who annulled death and made it of no effect and brought life and immortality (immunity from eternal death) to light through the Gospel.” (2 Timothy 1:9-10 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, my heart is stirred by Your words of love. No one can ever love me or has ever loved me the way You do. Sometimes it is so hard to imagine. When I look at my life and remember the things I have done or the struggles I still have I am amazed by Your mercy and grace. Sometimes I have felt my walk to be drudgery or just downright hard. This happens when I forget how much You love me, how much You literally adore me.
Teach me to discern Your great love and compassion for me. Help me to see every inflection on Your face just like You see mine. I so desire to have the faith of a child and climb up into your lap of love and friendship, to curl my hand up in Yours regardless of my emotions, circumstances or fears. All I want to do is experience this great love You have given me. I want to see the twinkle in Your eyes when You look at me, when You think about me.
Take me into the spa or Your heart and let Your oil drip all over every hard place in my heart. Massage away the hardness of life and weariness of the world. I receive Your healing balm and declare this is a day of love given and love received. Today is a special day of love and will have everlasting consequences in my life. I come, for today is indeed a day of love. Amen
Reflect and Journal
- Meditate with a time of soaking worship on the depth of His grace given to you before all time.
- What hard places in your heart need the healing oils of His presence? Write them down and then offer them up to Him. Let Him keep them in His care. In exchange He will give you His peace and acceptance. Hardness usually comes from wounds of rejection and disappointment among other things. He is here today to pour out the balm of Gilead and set you free.
- Have you ever had or seen a baby reach out with their soft hands and grasp the hand or touch the face of their parent or been the recipient of such love from your own children? Remember the joy and absolute awe you felt? This is how He feels about you each and every moment. Reflect on this and write a love note back to Him. Tell Him how it makes you feel.
As my misty eyes run through the words, I can hear the beating of my heart. Fast in the beginning but getting slower as I savor Your loving words confirming Your love for me. My troubled heart finds sanctuary in the very depths of Your reassuring words of love. Who can offer for free and by grace such amazing love? Only You my sweet all loving Jesus. How tender, how passionate, how engulfing! Let Your love drown my being that peace will reign in my troubled heart.
Father God, it is so difficult for me to grasp Your loving kindness, My Jesus, show me today in little moments Your sweetness, Your kindness, Your love. That I may experience You in my marriage, in my work, in my future plans……….miracles, that I really know I am still Your child who You love, help me in all my struggles Lord for I need You so much! When I read Your love letter I am not able to grasp it….will You fill me with Your Holy Spirit again…and drench me with Your warm oil!
