Being whole...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for today God. Your blessings continue to leave me in awe. Thank you for conquering every challenge in my way today. Thank you for your generosity. It gives me the room to bless others and be blessed all at the same time. Thank you for the life you have given me here. I know heaven is better, but it is hard to imagine much better than this. YOU ARE SO INCREDIBLE!!!

What God Said Tonight:

Building on a strong foundation is always worth the time and effort. Building something temporary is rarely worth the time and effort. 

Build a life with me, on my strong foundation, and you will be grateful you did. You will know at the end of each day that today was worth it. Build your life elsewhere and you will not get that same joy. 

I don't say this to scare anyone. I am only telling you the truth of life. You were created to be in relationship with me and outside of that, you will never be whole. I created you in our image and without us, you are not whole. 

I love you, I love all of my children and I ache for them all to come back to me.  Let me make you whole. 

Make a difference...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray that every one of your children gets to have a moment, a day, a week, a year, or a lifetime where they get to experience your glory. A time when they get to look up and be speechless and in awe of who you are and all that you do.

You have given me so many of those moments and I am grateful for every one. Today, I am grateful for that moment this morning. I am in awe of you God. There is no one like you and I am in awe.

What God Said Tonight:

Even the dimmest light is bright in the darkness. I don't need you to be perfect but if you can stay focused on reflecting even a small portion of my light, you will make a difference. You will bring light into darkness and it will matter. 

Placed and positioned...

 

My prayer:

What a day God. In the middle of the chaos, you gave me such a sweet blessing. THANK YOU! A great reminder that our everyday words and deeds matter. They influence people, for good or for bad. I love that at least some of the time, I reflect you well and people are blessed. 

I pray that you help me to do that more and more, every day.

What God Said Tonight:

Your life matters. I would not keep you on earth if there was not a purpose and a reason. 

It would be wonderful to have you here with me in heaven, especially in these times. It would be wonderful to celebrate with you and all the saints. And yet, in this season, in this time, I have a different purpose for you and for all of my children still living in the world. 

I have not left you or forgotten you. I have placed you. I have positioned you. I have a strategic purpose for you and your life and it is necessary for all that is to come. 

Thank you for being willing and saying yes. I have everything else covered from there. Follow me and see what we can do. 

I love you my child, now and forever.

Joy and hope...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for a wonderful day God. I don't need anything more tonight except to hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

Tomorrow is a day that will bring with it surprises and joy. Tomorrow is a day that is not known or promised but is full of hope. 

My children get to have hope in tomorrow. Have joy in today and hope in tomorrow and you will live the life I planned for you. 

I am yours and you are mine, now and forever my child.

In the fire...

 

My prayer:

Amazing God. Thank you for your guidance and help today. It seems like for the last week, every conversation starts or ends with "I have something to tell you..." That phrase is almost never followed with good news. But each time, you have given me the peace and the wisdom to see the path through and to help the person see that path as well. 

Your guidance is worth more than all the gold and riches in the world God. Thank you for sharing it with me when I need it, or when those in my life need it.

What God Said Tonight:

The path through is the easy part. What people need, what your people in your life need can often be just for you to be in the fire with them. You can't always have an answer but you can always commit to stick with them through the trials. 

I love you my child and I will always show you the way through but I won't always jump right to it. Sometimes, I will tell you, sometimes, the answer is not as important as the compassion. Never forget the compassion of sitting with a friend in their tears. 

I did the same. In the fires with my three faithful boys, I did not bring them out of it but I did join them in it. 

I love you now and forever my child.

Love and see...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for today God. Today was a day of putting things in perspective. It helped me to have a whole new level of appreciation for what you have done and are doing in my life. It reminded me of what is truly important and what isn't. 

Help me to love like you love. Help me to see like you see. I am yours God, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

I love without reservation and I see the truth. I love when it doesn't make sense and I see what others cannot. 

I am your Father and you are made in our image. You have the heart to love and the eyes to see. I am your teacher and I will show you how. Take the time to learn it. Take the time to experience it. It is not something that comes naturally and it is not something you will learn over night. But you were made for this. You were made to love like I love. You were made to see as I see. You were made in our image. 

It will take time to bring you back to what I intended from the beginning but the journey is worth it. Look to me in all things I will guide you to it. 

Something...

 

My prayer:

There was a lot to process from today God. Thank you for guiding me through all of the ups and downs. 

I pray for your will to be done God. In my life, in the world, as it is in heaven. There is nothing more I could want. Your will is always perfect.

What God Said Tonight:

I have something for you. I have kept it safe and set aside. Waiting for the time that was right. I won't give it early as you may not be able to appreciate it and I won't give it late, when it no longer matters. But in the right moment of time, I will give you this. It is made for you and will bring you such great joy. 

In this moment, know that I love you and I will never leave you. Know that it brings me such joy to bring you blessings. Know that whatever this world, this day throws at you, I will never walk away and leave you to deflect it on your own. I will always be there for you and I will always show you the way through. 

I love you so much my child. Rest in that fact.
