Peace!

Good morning, Papa God! 

What will I say this morning? What do You want to say to me? I am really without words this morning, Papa God. This is a rare occurrence as we both know full well. I am at peace … a peace that surpasses all understanding, one that comes from recognizing that all I have accomplished is really from You. I reflect on things past and remember that I could not have done any of it, accomplished none of it, without You. Yes, I have climbed my mountains and walked through my deserts, but You have been the One Who supplied my every need during those climbs and walks. You carried my burdens when they were too heavy for me. You comforted my heart, strengthened my resolve, and ordered my steps. Thank You, Papa God, for being with me every step of the way. I would have nothing if it were not for You, accomplished nothing without You. Thank You for Your great gift of Your Son, Jesus that provided a way back to You, provided forgiveness of my sins. Yes, Papa God, I am at peace – the peace only You can give.

Good morning, My child!

You are My smile! I rejoice over you with singing. I surely do! Can a single life, like a drop of water in the ocean, really matter? Yes, it can when that life is crafted and planned by Me. You are no ordinary raindrop. I have made you, chosen you, for this very moment in time. I have chosen you to be a blessing and a beacon of My hope and peace and love to the other lives around you. Your mountains climbed, your deserts walked I have used and worked within you to refine and transform you into a beacon of My light. Go and shine forth into this world of Mine and reflect Me. You are My joy and My smile – now and always!
