In absolute humbleness I share today a reminder of who we are and where we will be with God in our lives.
His words spilled out on this page
His truths imprinted on the pages of the Bible
His love left crucified and bloodied on the cross
His grace made available to all through one simple word “Yes”
God touches us each and everyday through the people we are with, the beauty of our surroundings, the words of a friend, a mother’s touch, or a dad’s sweet embrace. I pray this prayer blesses you, stirs you to humble gratitude for the God of the Universe and opens you to all God has ordained for you.
Dear Lord,
Your word and your truth set me free,
Your love and your grace claim my brokenness and make it whole,
Your strength is my stronghold and picks me up when fear overcomes me.
Your willingness to stand by me at all times erases my self-doubt,
Your humble selflessness turns my self-pity upside down and confidence fills me instead.
Your words “I Chose You” knocks me to my knees and overflowing gratitude spills forth.
Your belief in me sustains me and enables me to believe in myself.
I bow humbly to you for choosing me and loving me!
Amen.
Here are some life verses to sustain you, encourage you, teach you and fill you with the love of your Father.

Linking with these beautiful blogs!
These are great, encouraging verses, Mary. I loved reading over each one, but especially was encouraged by the last one in Jeremiah. It’s one of my favorite verses and it’s good to remember that He has a plan and that includes good things for me. Your words in the prayer above also gives me perspective and hope. Thanks for being God’s blessing in my life and Merry Christmas to you, sweet friend!
Thank you for taking time to visit and write a few encouraging words. Merry Christmas to you too!
Needing these words of promise today. Thank yo, Mary, for reminding me who is in charge.
