I got up early this morning.
After drinking my morning coffee, checking the weather & news & stuff on my phone, I settled-in for some prayer-journal time. This is what came out.
Good morning, my Love,
That’s how I feel about You, my God…although it seems strange to write a name for You which seems romantic in nature. But truly You are my First Love! And I rejoice in You this morning.
Because of You, I can face today and tomorrow. Because of You my hope and joy are not destroyed when I read the news, or consider the circumstances I must navigate, or deal with the people I must interact with. Because of You I possess an identity and power that transcend the opinions or approvals of others. Because of You I am free to be what I am designed and commissioned to be. Because of You I do not need to compare myself to anyone else to determine my worth, effectiveness, or destiny. Because of You the investment of my passion, time, and resources are not bound-up in the temporary treasures of this world. Because of You I have access to the same supernatural, miraculous power that has healed the sick, given sight to the blind, and raised the dead. Because of You I am empowered to give and receive love with everyone in my life with ever-increasing vitality. Because of You I am regarded as faithful by those who are loved by me. Because of You I have insight behind the scenes of the world’s dramas, and wisdom underneath its foundations. Because of You I am independent of every man & woman’s condemnation. Because of You I have peace in the midst of the wild hurricanes that surround me. Because of You I have opportunity to walk above the depravities and miseries of the world’s inheritance. Because of You I have everything I need. Because of You I have faith, hope, joy, and love that protect my soul from the painful trials I must endure. Because of You, the people I come into contact with are imprinted with Your attributes by association with me. Because of You I have purpose, power, pleasure, perspective, promise, and prize that eclipse the sunniest day. Because of you there is no sacrifice I must make that is not rewarded with 100-times the blessing. Because of You I live, serve, and sing with joy!
My Love, You are truly and unreservedly amazing!
