Heavenly Father, Abba. You created me in love—in the community of love shared among You as the Triune God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I stand in Victory with You, by the blood of Jesus Christ.
This is something I need to remember—to intentionally tell myself daily, to set time aside to meditate on. But what exactly does this mean?? I need to think about that.
I want to remember the Promises that You gave me and Your children. I want to remember why there is a rainbow when there is rain and clouds; that the sun will shine again! You are faithful!
Jesus came down from heaven as an infant to demonstrate Your unconditional and eternal love for us—Your faithfulness. He came to show us the promise of the rainbow and to bring Your new covenant of grace and mercy.
How do I remember? What can I actively do to remember and live into your covenant. Well, in addition to going to church to worship You; I can listen intently to the sermon to hear what You are speaking directly into my heart. I can fellowship with other believers to encourage and share our God stories so that we are reminded of Your continual Presence in our lives. This spurs us all along and strengthens our faith and trust in You.
I can sit daily and tell myself that You made me “in love” with a God given purpose of letting Your light show through me—so that others can see Your goodness. I can read Your Word, allowing it to penetrate my heart and be etched into my mind and soul. I can listen to music that speaks of You and Your goodness. I can journal, sharing my thoughts and feelings.
Me, my life path, how I traverse this earth and all its ups and downs—these experiences can, and should, rest on You and Your goodness. If I allow it, I will see Your faithfulness, Your grace, Your provision, and You fighting for me.
Holy Spirit, help me to choose You daily, to sit with You and talk. Give me ears to hear what You are saying. Show Yourself to me; lead me. Unharden my heart to allow You to work in my life and transform me into the child of God that You made me to be.
I trust You. I love You. I want to live life more fully, but I will only be able to do that with You by my side.
In the Faithful and Covenant Making Name of Jesus I pray.
Amen.
