Regardless of how you may "feel" this morning (good or bad), find solace and comfort in the fact that unlike our emotions and the circumstances around us, God's love for us is UNCHANGING.
🙌 Nothing can separate us from it. He is on our side. If you've fallen, allow Him to help you and pick yourself back up. If you’ve succeeded, give Him the honor He is due. If you just don't "feel" love, speak to your emotions and selah (ponder/think about) the fact that God’s love for you was so profound that He spared nothing BECAUSE OF His love. He gave His Son Jesus, and that’s something to be grateful for! We have nothing to fear. Victory belongs to Jesus, and if we belong to Him, then we are victorious IN Him! #HeFightsForUs

Oftentimes, because we live in a physical world, the natural response, as to whether God can “bring us out” of a situation is subconsciously weighed in with whether or not someone else (a physical being or human) can “come through” for us. However, it’s important as children of God and ambassadors of Christ, that we make a habit to first go to our Father. We have to place our faith in Him and in the fact that He fights for us and then obey His direction and instructions.
Regardless of what the circumstances looks like, why should we waste time and energy exalting the opinions of humans who are as frail as breath, when we serve the the Most High God & Creator of the universe?! He will fulfill every promise that He has given to you. So, give honor and praise to Him in advance for what He will do on your behalf. He is faithful, and He will not let you down. REST in Him and have a blessed day!

Oftentimes, the path that we are on in life has already been “straightened” for us and sometimes without us even being aware - that’s the kind of good God we serve. The Holy Spirit is our Guide. He desires to order our steps and direct our lives (Psalm 37:23), so let Him! Thank God for the things that He’s removed from your path without you even being aware.
You are loved and precious in His sight, and the location of both your steps and heart is important to Him. Trust in Him and rest (Proverbs 3:5-6)!

You have the #victory in EVERY situation because of the greater one that lives on the inside of you! You are MORE than a conqueror (Romans 8:37), and there is nothing too difficult for your Heavenly Father (Jeremiah 32:27, Luke 18:27). Be encouraged by that today and walk in the victory that you already possess through faith!

God didn’t haphazardly create you, so trust that He knows best for your life and trust Him for the wisdom and direction to walk out His plans for your life. You are HIS masterpiece! God desires for all of His children to live the “good life”, but at the end of the day, it’s up to them whether they ever truly walk in it. He has a unique purpose for our lives, but we have to be obedient to His leadings and allow Him to transform us from the inside out? We are so loved and treasured by our Creator.
🙌 Lord renew and transform us so that we are ready to be used for your will and purpose today!
In the Bible, a person’s name often revealed both the character and/or affiliations an individual had. When God called Abram and made a covenant with Him revealing that He would be the Father of many nations, his name was changed from Abram to Abraham. He stepped into God’s plan and purpose for His life, but His name was changed prior to it even being brought into fruition.
In the same sense, we can look at the many names of God (i.e. Jehovah Jireh - our provider, Jehovah Rapha - our Healer). His name(s) reveal His nature, power, and character (goodness, mercy, power, faithfulness, just for starters) to the world. Place your trust and confidence in His name. Remind yourself today of all that His name reveals about Who He is to you. He won’t fail you.

🙌 Good morning! God has has blessed you with an entirely new set of mercies today. He is faithful and because of His faithfulness, we can put our hope in Him. He is consistent, and His heart towards us is compassionate. So never tire seeking God’s direction and/or walking in His purpose for your life. If you’ve missed the mark, His grace is sufficient; if you’ve hit it, it’s still only because of His grace.
Trust your Heavenly Father’s leading of your life (Psalm 23, Isaiah 30:21). Your confidence in Him can be renewed afresh this morning and the next, just like his mercies. He is a good Father!

Feeling anxious? Struggling with thoughts of doubt over your purpose, the current state of the world or the affairs of your life? Make sure you start your morning off right and give those burdens or doubts to God right now. He is a good Father, and He will give you peace, comfort and joy as He brings you through.

God is love, and true love literally drives out fear. [As believers] we should have a desire to represent Christ and do the same as His ambassadors here on earth. Only God can truly transform and perfect us in His perfect love because He IS love. Once this is done, we are better qualified as His ambassadors.
🙌🙏🏼 May God help us not to be hypocritical in our expressions of love to you. Help us to truly walk in love with our brothers and sisters, whom we see here on earth, every day. Thank you Lord for your love God! Give us a clean heart (Psalm 51:10) and perfect those areas that concern us (Psalm 138:8).

🙌 Your Heavenly Father cares about every detail of your life. He loves you, and it is His delight to protect you, guide you and “keep you”. Remember that regardless of how your week was last week and no matter what is going on in our world, God watched over you every step of the way.
When He sees you, He sees the one who was valuable enough for Him to send His Son Jesus to die for and redeem (John 3:16). He formed you in your mother’s womb and endowed you with a unique purpose and plan for His glory (Jeremiah 1:5,29:11). You are NOT alone. His eyes are on you, and you are loved. 💗

Children of the Most High God are a part of His family, and their home is the Kingdom of God. They are focused on those things that satisfy the Spirit and obey customs of their homeland. As God’s children, we have to keep our minds focused on Him and the things that are a priority of our Father.
Remember His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:9), so keep your mind set on things that are of a concern for Him. He knows best for you and how it fits into His purpose for your life. #YouAreLoved

💪 If it’s emotional or physical strength that you need, He’s got you covered. If it’s spiritual or physical, then He will sustain you. No need to doubt or fear based on what you see.(2 Corinthians 5:7). We’re not moved by our sight realm - only by the Word. So embrace faith and reject fear today. We win with God on our side! #FaithOverFear

As believers in Christ, we have received a new identity, but have you truly embraced that identity? We belong to God, and our citizenship is in Heaven (Philippians 3:20). Our conversation, values and ways of doing things may appear to be foreign to this world the more we become like Christ and the fruits of the Spirit manifest themselves in our lives.
Meditate on who and Whose you are and your confidence on the authority that you have IN Christ will grow.

💪 He fights for you! When you make it your priority to check in with your Heavenly Father and dedicate the affairs of your life to Him, He exchanges any burdens we may have for His peace, joy, strength and other heavenly blessings. His yoke is easy (Matthew 11:30)!
He loves you and wants you to love and treasure your relationship with Him as much as He does. He has a divine purpose and plan for your life, so never stop believing and trusting that “He will bring it to pass.” You can place your faith and confidence in Him. He is faithful. 👂He listens, and you can trust Him with your deepest thoughts and desires, as you honor Him. #HesGotYou

There is freedom in Christ, and because of God’s love for us, He’s instead given us love, power and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). God’s Word is Truth and, as a result, of the authority, power and authenticity of His Words, we can go to Him boldly regardless of what we are facing. We can share our heart with Him and seek direction to the purpose that He has on our lives.
We are His ambassadors, and He always welcomes us seeking Him for guidance and insight on the plans He has for our lives and for guidance in doing so. He loves you and will provide for every part of the assignment. Place all of your confidence in Him and boldly go to His throne. He loves you, and He’s waiting.

Regardless of what cares or concerns we may feel we have pressing upon us, God is the firm and steady Rock that we can depend on. We can lean on Him. He is our Redeemer.
🙏 God help us to honor you with our words and thoughts today. “Give us a new heart if that is what is needed to do so (Psalm 51:10). Thank you Lord for your love, faithfulness and compassion to us daily”.

Nope…NOthing is too hard for our Heavenly Father. He cannot and will not lie to us. Whatever He has said that He will do, He will do. So stand confidently on the promises of God and on the purpose and plans that He’s revealed to you. He will bring them to pass.
He is faithful and regardless of whether you can see the physical manifestation of those promises yet, trust and believe: if God said it, that settles it. Practice agreeing with His Word verbally. Have faith and visualize those things before they come into existence. In fact, why not ask God for His help to see things the way He sees and desires you to (Hebrews 11:1, 2 Kings 16:17)? He’s got you. Just stay the course and keep your eyes on Him. #HappySunday

With all that is going on in the world around us, it’s important that while we’re endeavoring to take care of our physical health that we also not neglect to take care of our insides (our spirit man, that is). Be sure to use wisdom and maintain a healthy physical and spiritual diet. Nibble on the fruits of the spirit. It will do your spirit well.
The more we grow and mature in our relationship with God, the more we are able to reject carnality. The “fruit” will be visible to those around us; and as representatives of Christ, it’s important that others know us by our fruit, especially love (John 13:35).
Ask God for His help in making sure that you are providing the best “environment” for your fruit to be harvested in. Sometimes, that simply means being aware of what we are exposing our spirit man to (entertainment, unfruitful conversations, associations, etc.). So stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit. The maturation and condition of your fruit depends on it.

Regardless of how intellectually esteemed we or others may deem ourselves to be, it’s imperative for us, as believers, to be totally dependent on the wisdom of God. To put confidence in anything else would be foolish, and the rotten fruits of that poor decision-making and pride will eventually bear witness in our lives.
The Word of God always encourages us to trust God and to not to lean to our own understanding, regardless of how knowledgeable we may think we are in the process of our decision-making (Proverbs 3:5-6). God desires to give us “skillful and godly wisdom” - insight that we may not have been privy to otherwise. So, stay connected to your Heavenly Father throughout the day. It’s your His desire to give you direction and guidance for your life as you seek His will for your life. God’s got your back, so put your confidence in Him. #TGIF!

We have the privilege of being God’s ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20) - His hands and feet here on earth. 👣 So commit to walk in excellence as you complete every task that you put your hands (and feet) to today. Our citizenship is in Heaven, and so is our award when we faithfully serve Jesus. Keep in mind that God can and will give you divine insight and guidance on how to accomplish a task more efficiently and effectively. He will give you the right words to say (Proverbs 25:11) for any given situation AND give you favor when and where you need it. So, don’t lose sight of Who you represent. He’s got your back, but it brings Him great joy when you represent Him accurately and allow Him to lead you. #MakeHimProud
