Supremely Blessed

Good Morning, Papa God! 

How supremely loved and blessed am I! You are my everything. Truly You are!  May it never be that I would boast in anything except the cross of Jesus Christ and Him crucified! For without Him willingly dying for me, where would I be? I would be forever separated from You, Papa God, the One who loves me eternally, and with a depth of love I do not even comprehend. Oh, yes, I am deeply and supremely blessed – beyond all measure – because I have Your love and favor forever! You are forever mine and I am forever Yours! How much more could I possibly be blessed? You are my greatest blessing. As I look out upon the day that is before me, please help me do all that I know to do (that You have asked me to do), and to accomplish Your desires for me today. I am not quite certain what all that may be as I sit here, but open my eyes to see and my ears to hear all that You have for me. I remain Yours to use as You like, even if, for now, it is sitting on the shelf, waiting. In Your strength and power, I am ready for whatever You ask of me.

I know you are, My child. These past 5+ years have been a steeper path than ever before in your life. Why? Because I have needed you to eliminate all other desires and distractions and encumbrances from your life, to lay yourself and your will down to Me on the altar of sacrifice. I needed you to crucify yourself to the world and the world to you.  These past 5 years have prepared you for what is to be the next steps in your walk with Me. I am with you always just as I promised.

Give me Your strength and encouragement for this. May I serve You and You alone faithfully today in all I do and say and thing. You know that all I ever wanted to hear as a result of my life is “well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful with a few things (my life’s deeds), I will put you in charge of many things.” You have taught me to be content with a “few” things and not compare myself to others. It took me a while to learn the concept of not comparing myself to others’ lives. In doing so, it has always left me feeling like I came up short. But all You have ever asked of me was to be faithful to what You gave me to do and say. No comparing required, just being faithful to You.

I love you, My child, always have, always will. You have placed your feet on the path of My choosing. You have obediently walk on that path, even when you were not sure it was the right path, when the storms and rain and floods threatened to wash you away, still you trusted Me to provide a place for you to wait out the storms – Me! You have learned that where you are now is where I intended for you to be. I know all the things that you wish were different in your life – the choices made or not made. But you have also learned that I fit everything together for your good, even the wrong choices. Continue to run your race with endurance.
