He Fills My Life With Goodness… #Arise

 

more-kindness-than-necessaryHow true is that?

I’ve been on both sides of this situation so many times…

I have felt the sting of someone not noticing me, or my hurting heart…

I’ve walked away from situations where I am immediately convicted of my harshness…

That feeling of hurting someone, hurts….

Life is hard.  We should be kind while we still have time.

This I know…

The more I pour my heart,  and my life out in the presence of God, the more my eyes see, and my heart feels…

The more I want to be like Him… Kind, patient, loving….

God always sees our best in His eyes… He always has our best in mind, and always wants us to extend His goodness wherever we are…

“Follow God’s example in everything you do, because you are his dear children.

Live a life filled with love for others, following the example of Christ, who loved you 

and gave himself as a sacrifice to take away your sins.

And God was pleased because that sacrifice was like sweet perfume to Him.”

Ephesians 5: 1-2

This scripture is what The Sweetest Fragrance was birthed from….

Praying… loving… living my life to be a sweet aroma of His goodness and grace…

It’s a daily battle… I lay my  wants and desires down… I seek Him.

I seek His grace… His hope.

His care over my life…

Then I walk…

Dear Jesus,

How I pray wherever my day takes me, Your light of love will be known…

May I continually lay down my hopes and desires and seek all that You are…

That my life will be a sweet fragrance to those who are hurting, to those who are searching for love, light, and unconditional grace…

You are my everything…

You are my hope…

Thank you for filling my heart with Your love, and my moments with Your purposes…

Thank You for Your sweet forgiveness that my soul craves in my darkest hours…

You fill me with hope… Strengthen me with goodness, and send me on my way with light…

Thank You for all that You are…

In Jesus Name

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa
