The Lord Holy
Spirit, flows through you, washing away the negative past, like fresh rain
cleansing the surface of a road. Let the flow happen. Avoid soul blockage of
past shame, regret, or guilt. All stays forgiven since you asked.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for your
forgiveness for the past and present.
Trust heavenly
Father for everything . . . not just some of the religious things.
Doesn’t a good
parent make good ways for a child? Doesn’t a concerned parent give any concern,
food, clothing, and shelter? Heavenly Father designed help through Jesus.
He remains an all-knowing partner through all decisions. His love gives all.
Learn to accept the gift.
Holy Father
improves quality of life, even your finances, when you direct all your
resources [including emotions] into understanding His gift economy. That
economy gives not to receive, but spreads enrichment because it is a gift. Work
to arrange your finances so you can give unreservedly. Your motivation is not
who deserves but holy Father’s generous nature growing in all you do.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for all that comes from you.
Stop and hear God’s
word. Occupy yourself in his words, for
they
create power to put into
action what they say. “And lo, I am with you
always.”
Make Jesus real
while working any task. How do you make him real? Talk to him daily in your
self-talk. Discuss with him every little detail, no matter how ordinary it may
seem. Live his presence along with any daily task. Use your faith and KNOW The
Holy Spirit stays your constant friend, always with you. He will help you with
any work necessary.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for the constant guide of the Holy Spirit.
Because Jesus is a
real person, he will help carry any load for you. You do not have to be the
person who struggles alone. If you carry all your load by yourself ,you will
become weary and will lack energy for good humor. When trying to bear burdens
alone… a tree, a flower, a bird---all become just obstacles in your path. You
will miss the beauty all around because of being tired and burdened.
When you turn to Christ
to help bear your burdens, then a tree reminds life of resurrection, a flower
becomes the color of divine creative goodness, a bird produces the music of
God’s creation.
Give attention to
the given Holy Spirit to walk alongside you in everything, and all of life
becomes generous beauty.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for reminding me to take pleasure in all the little
things of your creation.
No other religion
or celebration claims truth of the unlimited Grace the heavenly Father gives to
any who would receive. Pride sneaks in to take its place whenever you start to
feel heavenly Father’s Grace draining away from you. Accept His word that His
graciousness is always available even when not recognized. Let the enrichment
of His Grace warm you inside like sun on your face. You must trust.
Prayer: Thank you, Lord, for without your Grace,
we would be totally lost.
Think about the
parable of the Sower in Mt. 13. Visualize some plowed dirt. Seeds fell in
shallow dirt; the birds ate the seed. There are also rocky places holding
shallow amounts of soil to catch a few seed. Some seed fell among thorn bushes,
which choked out the good plants. But then some seed fell among rich fertile
soil where good crops were produced. You need to ask: What makes the difference
in the condition of the soil?
The Holy Spirit gives Faith (strength), Love (joy and laughter),
and Peace (openness) to plough and cultivate the soil-path for the way
you live your life. . . You help cultivate your own soil.
Prayer: Lord, may I create the right soil for even one good plant.
If while in
heaven, you had the chance to tell each angel a story of your good experiences
and each would hear it as new and each angel could feel the experience, would
you be able to share events that showed your best potential in Christ? Would
those episodes prove worthy in eternity? What if you could see all the
connections?
Prayer: Lord, help me to think less of past experiences and move forward
by setting my mind upon what I can become for the kingdom.
