The reality of God's goodness is greater than the appearance of things in front of you. Our hearts and minds naturally grab onto the negative, the hurtful, and the fearful. But Jesus invites us to see the upside, the healing, and the possible. He lifts our chin that we might see Him for who He is and for all He's done. If you're in Christ, you're brand new—through and through. You're complete in Him; 100% forgiven. You're profoundly loved. You're cared for. You have a history with God, and you have a future with Him. Every ache, longing, and loss will be swallowed up when Jesus returns. May God open your spiritual eyes so you can see things as they are and not as they seem. Have a blessed and beautiful day.

Psalm 118:24 (NLT) ~ This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

May God’s grace empower you to live abundantly, to pray powerfully, and to stay the course. May your honor for Him compel you to trust Him when your trials seem truer than His Word. God will not fail you, will not forget about you, and will not turn away from you. Refuse to look to the left or right. Set your face like flint and know that you will triumph! May you discern every distraction, every offense, and every trick of the enemy before it ever comes near you. May you be so in tune with the Father’s voice and presence that you enjoy the journey with Him, even when the road is hard. He’s with you in battle, He’ll help you when your heart breaks, and He’ll deliver and bless you before a watching world when the time is right. Trust Him. You are so very dear to His heart. Have a purposeful, powerful day. S Larson

Psalm 139:5 ~ You both precede and follow me; You place Your hand of blessing upon my head.

May you raise your shield of faith, draw a line in the sand, and tell that enemy of your soul, "No more! You will steal from me no longer!" Refuse to be bullied by your fears. Don't put up with the enemy's taunts and threats. Put him under your feet where he belongs. Remember your authority in Christ. You stand in faith (not your feelings). Pray God's Word with all the passion in your soul. God's promises are as potent as they've ever been. Raise your shield and lift your voice. Things change in the spiritual atmosphere when you engage your faith and pray God's Word. You're an overcomer. S Larson

Ephesians 6:14,16 ~ Stand firm…and take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

May you refuse to procrastinate on the things God has clearly asked of you. May you deal with the issues of your heart that block your view of God’s goodness, holiness, and love. Daily love, forgive, obey, and pray because there’s a God in heaven who knows your name! When you take seriously the things that settle into your heart, God takes seriously the prayers that come out of your mouth. Rise up with a bold faith and a humble heart, and speak life over your life, starting today. Speak to your mountains and tell them to move in Jesus’ Name! Speak to your fears and tell them that Jesus’ love is perfect is greater still. Speak to your soul and remind yourself that God is always good. Speak to any obstacle that blocks your view of the Son and His radiance, and tell it to be tossed into the sea! May your faith combined with God’s goodness move you to a place of grace and peace. And every which way you turn, may you see evidence that God is at work an involved in your life. Have a faith-filled, powerful day.

Mark 11:22-25 NLT ~ Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God. I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours. But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too.

You’re not your weaknesses. You’re not your sins. You’re not even your strengths. You’re someone God loves, enjoys and redeems. In Christ Jesus, you’re brand new, through and through. You don’t have to look back in regret, or look down in shame. You can look up and honor the Name of Jesus, who lived, died, and rose again so you could live powerfully, abundantly, and eternally. Refuse to let your set backs or mess-ups define you. They don’t. They can’t. They won’t. Be bold, be brave, and be happy in Jesus. He’s thrilled to claim you as His own! Have a great day.

1 John 4:16 (NIV) ~ And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.

Testimony Tuesday!!!

May the Fatherly nature of God bring assurance to your soul. May you understand—on a much deeper level—how committed He is to you and your story. May Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and His victory over the grave and sin, compel you to believe that you're worth far more than your skewed perspective of yourself. May you simply decide to believe that you're a priceless work of art. May the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit inspire you to live a life yielded to His influence. May you be so sensitive to His movement that when He winces, you wince; when He moves, you move; when He pulls back, you pull back. May you grow to deeply enjoy your fellowship with God. He is for you and He loves you.

Psalm 84:11-12 ~ For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, what joy for those who trust in you.

You're about to step out into new territory. You're ready to try again; to fly again. But you're afraid too. Afraid that what happened before may happen again. It's a tender place for you. If that's you, this blessing is for you: May you know—with everything in you—that every tender spot in your heart is also a tender place in the Father's heart. He knows what you've been through; knows what you've overcome, and He will see you safely through your journey. In the days ahead, may you grow increasingly confident in God's Fatherly affection and promise of protection. What He allows, He redeems. And who He calls, He equips. Yes, there'll be giants, haters, and nit-pickers, but only for a little while. Soon you'll serve Jesus in heaven with no opposition, no insecurity, and no enemy threat breathing down your neck. But in the meantime, go forward bravely. You're not who you once were. Jesus rescued and redeemed you, and He's not even close to finished with you. Rejoice. You're on your way to another victory. Have a blessed day!

Romans 8:18-19, 38-39 NLT ~ Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are…And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

May you be honest with God about the hurts in your heart. God will one day wipe away every tear from your eyes, but until then, He'll help you walk this journey with peace in your heart and assurance in your step. He is with you. One day Jesus will turn your mourning into dancing and your sorrow into songs of joy. In the meantime, enjoy the little graces you find along the way. Celebrate the small victories. Dare to dream. And take one step at a time. You're going to be okay. Blessings on your day today.

Psalm 30:11-12 NLT ~ You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!
