May the LORD, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times and bless you as he has promised! You don’t have to beg, just receive the blessings! (Deuteronomy 1:11)
God wants to change us inside our heart. He is not looking at the superficial but what is in our heart. Our actions show the issues of our heart. His desire is that we cry out to him to heal our past hurts that have lodged in our heart. When we are honest with Abba Father, about our struggles, he helps us heal. Ask to have him expand your ability to receive his love and to love others, unconditionally. We cry, “Change my heart,O God! Let me love like your Son, Jesus. Make my heart tender.”
“I know that you delight to set your truth deep in my spirit. So come into the hidden places of my heart and teach me wisdom. Purify my conscience! Make this leper clean again! Wash me in your love until I am pure in heart.” (Psalms 51:6-7 TPT)
Yesterday is gone and today you have a fresh new start. Shake off and release the failures of yesterday. Forgive yourself and forgive others. God is merciful, show mercy to others. Start the day, reading and meditating on the Bible, praising God and listening to his voice. He loves you so much and is faithful!
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” (Lamentations 3:22-24 NLT)
Prayer does not always have expression in words. Many times we do not know what to pray but feel burdened and let out a sigh or groan. Other times we feel another’s pain and our tears flow in compassion. All of this is intercession and Holy Spirit who lives inside of us, prays for us knowing exactly what we need. He loves us and works out everything for our good.
Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good. (Romans 8:26-28 MSG)
It is not the hardships that you endure that define you and b your journey. It is who walks beside you and carries your load! Jesus is our burden bearer. He knows what you need.
Rather than focusing on the roughness of the road, with its unexpected bumps, climbs and detours, concentrate on the one carrying and protecting you. Rest in his loving care!
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28 NLT)
Pure Glory
