Telling people to “get it right,” anybody can SAY that. But showing people right, everyone won’t do that. Right, is showing people a more excellent way, which is the LOVE of God in action. Be a sermon, don’t just preach one…Selah
How we think brings in a harvest. If our thoughts are full of faith, we will see fulfillment for that which we trust God. If we entertain and meditate on fear and worry, we will multiply anxiety and have no peace.
Daddy God, I invite you to search my heart and know my mind. Test me and know my thoughts. See if my thinking, leads me on a destructive path. I let go and leave behind worry, fear, insecurity selfishness, control and depending on myself, and not on you. I turn from my sins and invite you, to do a supernatural work in my heart. Lead me in an everlasting path, Lord. I focus my eyes and think on your goodness and love, while I rest in you. I am sowing trust and faith in you, Lord, so I can harvest a bumper crop of peace, while I live in your presence. Thank you for your mercy and love.
Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart; Test me and know my anxious thoughts; And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way. (Psalm 139:23-24 AMP)
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. (Proverbs 14:34 KJV)
America celebrates her 250th birthday on July 4, 2026. Today, on the National Mall, in Washington DC, a rededication of our nation, to God is happening, with Scripture reading, testimony, prayer, and worship, as Americans come to rededicate our country as One Nation to God. The emphasis is to turn back to God, remember with thanksgiving how he has preserved the nation for 250 years, with his guidance and presence. The people gather to remember the miracles that made the USA, through God;s help and his healing in our lives and land. It is a time of new birth of faith and freedom, as we humble ourselves, turn from our wicked ways and rededicate ourselves, as a nation, to God.
People from all of the fifty states, along with political leaders are coming together to rededicate themselves and the nation to God, with a heart posture of devotion and commitment. You can join them, in seeking the Lord, in repentance of our sins, individually and as a nation. God hears and answers, as we turn to him, and leave our sin to obey God.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV)
Be led, motivated, and driven by the Spirit of God, not by your emotions, circumstances, or your fleshly appetite. Being led by the Holy Spirit is exemplifying the Father’s heart.
“But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” (Galatians 5:18, 22, 23 KJV)
Have you ever become so irritated with a certain person that you were obsessed on their flaws? The ways they acted caused you to react in frustration and their thorns hurt. Then God began to show you, the same things were operating in your life. Your intolerance stemmed from the same immaturity lurking in your own life. This person came to sharpen you, like a knife blade, so you could be honed for the Master’s use. Rather than complaining, rejoice! This person is the tool used to make you more mature.
In the same way that iron sharpens iron, a person sharpens the character of his friend. (Proverbs 27:17 VOICE)
Can you do yourself a few favors today? Resign from trying to do things that only God is supposed to. Free yourself from the responsibility of making sure that everything and everyone is perfect; place the responsibility back on God.
Ask God to help you today, instead of trying to do things on your own. Quit holding yourself to standards that God isn’t even requiring of you (loose yourself). Retire from focusing on the problems and focus on the (God’s) promises. If you do these favors FOR YOU, life will be more favorable TO YOU.
My heart, my way of thinking, my will, and emotions, I surrender and give to you. Soften and tenderize the hard places in my heart and make it soft and pliable.
Ignite and consume my heart, so that I am aflame with love for your son, Jesus and you. Give me eyes that are solely focused on him, captivated and motivated by his love. Transform my heart with explosions of your love, until I am contagious with love, mercy and compassion, for family, friends, neighbors and enemies.
Let the expression of love and mercy, in my life, be a sign and wonder to others. May the image of your son, Jesus, be what is seen in me.
So be it!
Thank you, Abba, love from your beloved child
The light of God’s love shined within us when he sent his matchless Son into the world so that we might live through him. This is love: He loved us long before we loved him. It was his love, not ours. He proved it by sending his Son to be the pleasing sacrificial offering to take away our sins. Delightfully loved ones, if he loved us with such tremendous love, then “loving one another” should be our way of life! (1 John 4:9-11 TPT)
