Amazing Love

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. (1 Peter 1:8)
Someday we will see Jesus face to face, but for now we love Him without having seen Him.
This illustrates our faith and belonging to Him.
Even though the voice of the enemy will try to make us feel foolish for loving someone we have not seen, it only makes us all the more blessed!
Our passionate love for Him is not something to be seen as foolish, but a natural response to His divine soul tugs. It is a response to His own extravagant love for us!
This amazing love was displayed for the whole world to see, in the natural and supernatural realm, on the cross.
Until the day comes where He takes us into glory, we can rejoice here on earth!
We can fellowship in His constant presence, as He is our eternal companion not only in this life, but beyond into eternity.
Even though you cannot see Him now, He is closer to you than any other person on earth ever will be.
He is the only One who understands you perfectly, and the only One who can love you perfectly.
As you walk by faith and not by sight, you will be able to break free from the restrictions of doubt, and delve deeper into the boundless love of your Father!
“Even though you cannot see Him now, He is closer to you than any other person on earth ever will be. Amen!! When I read this devotion it blessed me so much, I struggled to hold back the tears. I pray you are also uplifted and encouraged by this devotion.
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!

His Presence

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:15-16)
As we go through our walk with God, we should aim to live in the present with Him.
Each moment we have is a gift, which can easily slip away from our grasp of awareness when we let ourselves wander away from His presence.
The most effective solution to this is by intentionally occupying these moments with His presence again.
In addition, we can take full advantage of each day by walking in the fullness of our calling. Did you know you have been hand chosen by God? You did not haphazardly end up on the earth, only to aimlessly wander around until death.
No, the Lord has given you a mission, and a divine inspired purpose for every single day of your life!
As His children, we are heirs of His kingdom and can walk with our heads held high in humble confidence because of who we are in Christ.
So I, the prisoner for the Lord, appeal to you to live a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called [that is, to live a life that exhibits godly character, moral courage, personal integrity, and mature behavior—a life that expresses gratitude to God for your salvation.] (Ephesians 4:1 AMP)
When you truly begin to grasp the revelation of who God is and the heavenly calling He’s placed over you, no day of your life can ever be boring again!
In order to fulfill your purpose, you must step into His presence daily.
Start each day by thanking Him. Look around you and search for the blessings He has already showered upon you. By praising Him with a grateful heart, your awareness of Him will increase, enabling you to fully operate in the calling He has placed over your life. Remember: the best time spent is time in His presence, where nothing is wasted. Amen.
I pray after reading this devotion, you are encouraged, just as I was, to search for the blessings He has already showered upon you. Great is thy faithfulness.
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. (Psalm 91:15-16)
In times of trouble, search for Him, and you will surely find Him.
Whatever you may be going through, the Lord is beside you right now, waiting for you to call out to Him.
Do not let doubt and confusion cloud your trust in Him, for He has promised to be forever faithful.
Do not underestimate your time in prayer, for it is a sacred time of communing with your Father. He longs to soothe away the trouble of the world.
As you cry out to Him, He will turn His face to you and come to your rescue.
Allow Him to destroy the walls you have put up, embrace you with His wrap-around presence, and wash away all anxiety. When you hear Him knocking on the door of your heart, let Him in! For He has come to give you a feast. Since you are His chosen beloved, He offers you to drink from His cup of joy, satisfying you with full life and salvation, never to lack.
What a powerful devotion. I pray you are just as encouraged by this as I was.
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!

The Love of God

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. (Luke 12:7)
Out of all creation in the world, you are still His chosen treasure. One thing that can make us feel far away from God is forgetting that He is God! Even the sparrows of the sky and the waves of the ocean know His name, because He cares for them as their Creator.
If the God of the universe won’t abandon the little sparrow, how could He abandon you?
The love of God chases after you every day, refusing to leave you alone… even for a moment.
His love is not passive, but active.
His loving presence leaps into your life, desiring to walk with you every second.
He knows every detail about you and every thought before you even think it. He knows your likes, dislikes, heart’s desires, quirks, mannerisms, and the number of hairs on your head!
He knows the problems you face as well as the solutions.
He has completely memorized you.
Why? Because you are His beloved. Knowing this, how could He ever forget about you?
Your worth is immeasurable, because it is found in Christ.
There is no earthly currency or metric system to measure your worth to God.
In His eyes, you are priceless.
Your worth to Him is greater than the deepest ocean and magnitude of the universe itself. He purchased you with the heavenly currency of His blood!
Rejoice! For you are more valuable to Him than anything else in the world!
What truth! When I read this devotion it blessed me. I pray you are uplifted and encouraged by every word spoken.
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
