The World Is Your Oyster… #hope

the world is your oyster“… God loves you dearly, and He has called you to be His very own people.  May grace and peace be yours from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Romans 1:7

God loves you dearly…

What a treasure to unfold.

Like a pearl within an oyster…

He has boldly called you and I to be His very, very own :)

He daily fills our hearts, and minds with hope and grace… Even more grace than we could ever even imagine asking for…

For by His grace we are able to be the person He has called us to be…

Loving, hopeful, generous in spirit, kind, and compassionate…Strong and faithful.

Without grace we could probably beat ourselves us everyday… in every way!

Today, Heavenly Father, as I come into Your beautiful Courts of loving kindness, I breathe in Your grace…

I accept and declare Your love that surrounds me…

How I pray I would be the very best me… breathing in Your goodness, hope, and loving forgiveness, and breathing our Your hope. Your mercy… Your peace that transcends all understanding…

May those in my world be comforted by Your touch…

No judging, or trying to change others hearts…

That is Your job through the Holy Spirit….. instead, may I be a reflection of the love You have cast over me…

For in my darkest times….

There You were…

Oh Lord, I give You my today…

And Yes, I will choose to believe that the world is Your oyster, and I am Your Pearl…

May Your love reign…

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

“He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.

He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes who were too strong for me.

They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support.

He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.”

Psalm 18:16

These words hold a very special place in my heart…

At my worst… When I was losing all hope… He reached down.

He drew me out of deep waters and rescued my heart.  My foes were too strong for me.

They confronted me in my day of disaster, but there was my God and my King…

He bent down low. He picked me up… held me tight.  He rescued me because He delighted in me…

Who is this King?

Sad or Unsure?

Trust in God’s goodness over You…

Trust in God’s mercies never ending..

“How good is it to sing praises to our God!  How delightful and how right!.
