The Lord will never forget you. But he will remember you with great favor and great blessing! You’re always on Jehovah’s mind, he is mindful of you, to bless you, open his good treasure to you and do you good, not predicated on your performance but on HIS LOVE FOR YOU.
You are not forgotten. How could he forget you? You were in Jehovah’s foreknowledge, he knew you before you were even born. He planned your life to be good, prosperous, and a great expected future. You are divinely thought of…His heart is tender towards yours, “You are unforgettable,” says Jehovah Sabaoth.

There were twelve spies that sent by Moses, to see the land that God promised, to the children of Israel. Ten spies brought back a bad report, full of fear and said they could not take the land. The fear of the ten, caused the nation to refuse to enter their Promised Land.
Only two men, Caleb and Joshua saw that the land was good and that victory was theirs. As a result, those who had no vision died in the wilderness. Caleb, however, had vision of conquering and receiving his inheritance. His vision caused him to thrive. Caleb said he was still strong and vigorous, forty years later, at age eighty, He conquered his mountain along with its giants.
He asked Joshua to give him his mountain promised to him many years earlier. He received his inheritance that he had carried in his heart, despite the delay. Caleb knew that God’s word never fails. He kept his vision and thrived, while the unbelieving died in the wilderness.
Where there is no vision from God, the people run wild,
but those who adhere to God’s instruction know genuine happiness. (Proverbs 29:18 Voice)

Do you feel that you are in a narrow place and uncertain if you wilt make it through to the other side? Does the storm, with its winds and waves, seem overwhelming? Although what you are facing seems insurmountable, know that with God you will make it. Nothing is impossible, when you put your trust in him. He is your help and makes a way, when there is none. God will never abandon you but stays by your side.
Be strong. Take courage. Don’t be intimidated. Don’t give them a second thought because God, your God, is striding ahead of you. He’s right there with you. He won’t let you down; he won’t leave you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6 MSG)

I love you and have placed great destiny inside you. Spend time listening to my voice, to unlock the gifts, I have given you. Know the key to enjoying yourself is time spent with me, as I tutor you in the greatness that resides within you.
Love you with relentless love,
Daddy God
For You shaped me, inside and out.
You knitted me together in my mother’s womb long before I took my first breath.
I will offer You my grateful heart, for I am Your unique creation, filled with wonder and awe.
You have approached even the smallest details with excellence;
Your works are wonderful;
I carry this knowledge deep within my soul.
You see all things; nothing about me was hidden from You
As I took shape in secret,
carefully crafted in the heart of the earth before I was born from its womb.
You see all things;
You saw me growing, changing in my mother’s womb;
Every detail of my life was already written in Your book;
You established the length of my life before I ever tasted the sweetness of it.
Your thoughts and plans are treasures to me, O God! I cherish each and every one of them!
How grand in scope! How many in number!
If I could count each one of them, they would be more than all the grains of sand on earth. Their number is inconceivable!
Even when I wake up, I am still near to You. (Psalm 139:10-18 Voice)

O Lord, You stand alone among the other gods;
nothing they have done compares to Your wonderful works.
O Lord, all the peoples of earth—every nation You established—
will come to You, bowing low to worship,
and rightly honor Your great name.
For You are great, and Your works are wondrous;
You are the one True God.
O Eternal One, guide me along Your path
so that I will live in Your truth.
Unite my divided heart so that I will fear Your great name.
O Lord, my God! I praise You with all that I am.
I will rightly honor Your great name forever.
For Your loyal love for me is so great it is beyond comparison.
You have rescued my soul from the depths of the grave.
O True God, arrogant people are after me.
A violent gang wants to kill me;
they have no interest in You or Your ways.
But Lord, You are a God full of compassion, generous in grace,
slow to anger, and boundless in loyal love and truth.

God is light and everything good comes from him. Light exposes and brings truth. God is consistent and has no shadows in him. The best place for abundant life is in the light.
So, my very dear friends, don’t get thrown off course. Every desirable and beneficial gift comes out of heaven. The gifts are rivers of light cascading down from the Father of Light. There is nothing deceitful in God, nothing two-faced, nothing fickle. He brought us to life using the true Word, showing us off as the crown of all his creatures.(James 1:16-18 MSG)

It is incredible how much favor and grace, Daddy God gives to each one of us. It is without measure and not based on how well we do but on his mercy and great love for us. Often, we only take a pinch of his grace, when we get into a tight spot. However, we can live and put our sail up and catch the wind of his generosity of grace, all the time.
Grace transforms us and brings us from death to life. In fact, grace joins us with Yeshua the Anointed One. Because of grace, we live in heavenly places with Christ, above the plots of the enemy. Rejoice in God’s glorious grace!
But God is so rich in mercy and loves us with such intense love that, even when we were dead because of our acts of disobedience, he brought us to life along with the Messiah — it is by grace that you have been delivered.That is, God raised us up with the Messiah Yeshua and seated us with him in heaven, in order to exhibit in the ages to come how infinitely rich is his grace, how great is his kindness toward us who are united with the Messiah Yeshua. (Ephesians 2:4-7 CJB)
