How important it is to be accepted and belong to someone or something. I remember as a young teenager I wanted to be accepted by my peers and the harder I tried the further I drifted.
When I think of all the pain and tears I endured over the years trying to fit in and the unfortunate thing was, everything I tried didn’t work. But now I’m excited to share, I’ve finally found where I belong. Close to God’s heart is where it’s at. He’s the perfect fit for me and how wonderful it is to belong to God’s family. That is who we are, family! and we belong to God and to each other. We are all important to Him and His thoughts of us are more than can be numbered. And do you know what else? He loves us just as we are and it doesn’t matter what we have done in the past we are accepted by Him and He will do something new in us. You are drawn to His heart by the Holy Spirit. You are special to Him and He delights in you and you are chosen by Him and He takes pleasure in you. Praise God! So, whatever you are going through right at this moment you can rely on His strength to carry you through. Sometimes it is hard to pray when you are lost for words and all that’s left are tears. May your heart be touched by the Holy Spirit in a miraculous way as you pray this prayer…
Dear Jesus,
In the secret place of Your heart, You hide me, You set me upon a rock. You calm each storm, and still every wave, You make me glad as You give me Your peace, You bring me into Your desired haven. I offer a continual sacrifice of thanksgiving unto You. I will call upon Your name and praise You forever. My flesh and my heart may fail at times, but You alone are the strength of my heart and my portion forever. It is good for me to draw near to You. I put my trust in You and I will declare all Your works. Blessed be You, Lord God. You only do wondrous things. Blessed be Your glorious name forever and let the whole earth be filled with Your glory. As I wait on You, Lord, I will be of good courage, for I know You will strengthen my heart. Therefore I will wait on You, Lord. Love You Jesus, Amen and Amen
May the Lord bless you and keep you! God is with you and He will take you to your destiny. May your eyes be enlightened this day to see beyond the natural and see with His eyes as you walk by faith step by step to His perfect plan for you. Praise God! Love you all…
