Beyond Perfect In His Eyes… #Arise

basically I have a crazy idea

Even before He made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault

in His eyes…”

Ephesians 1:4

You are  beautiful In His eyes…

He chose you before the world was created…

Can you even believe the goodness of God!!

You were chosen for the good works He has planned for you…

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God

prepared in advance for us to do…”

Ephesians 2:10

Grounded in faith.

Covered by grace…

Trusting His sweet embrace…

As each day unfolds, they seldom look like we think they should…

Don’t let your heart and mind be full of could haves, and should haves…

Those thoughts are dark, and not from the light of God’s love…

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all

things have become new..”

2 Corinthians 5:17

Learning to trust God right where you are can be scary…

We can feel like we need to be so much more, or even do so much more…

Those thoughts are most definitely not from Your loving Father’s  out stretched hand…

“… love always protects , always trust, always hopes, always preservers…”

1Corinthians 13:7

Living in the moments of today, is right where we are supposed to be…

We are not promised tomorrow…

“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.”

Proverbs 27:1

Breathing in Today…

Making the best choices for the moments we have in front of us…

Loving others first, being a light of hope to anyone we greet…

That is the good stuff…

“If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.”

Matthew 10:39

“Trust in the Lord, with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

Proverbs 3:6

Father,

How unbelievably amazing is Your love…

You new me before the foundations of this world…

You saw me in my mother’s womb, and said..

“That little one is mine…”

To think; for a moment, that You are using my life, and my days…  just as I am, is mind blowing, and utterly amazing…

I am so very grateful..

I am so very full of awe..

I will  trust in You will all of my heart, and I am not going to lean on my own understanding…

I will acknowledge You as I go about my day, believing You will, and are guiding my path…

Thank You that the old has gone…

Thank You that the new has come!

Thank You that Your love over me cleanses and shines…

 I can trust in all that You are because Your  love always protects,  Always hopes, and forever perseveres…

Today,

I will not cling to my life…

I will give it to You, being comforted in all that You are..

Thanking You that the past is gone, and the new has come…

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa
