Encouragement

Today, know: you are not a mistake, you are not an embarrassment, you are a child of God, dearly loved. You are not a goof, you are not a loser. You are royalty. You are cherished by the King. You are called by the God of the universe. You have purpose. You have worth. Do you believe that? You should. It is true. Jesus loves you. It is not just a cliche. It is a statement of significance that resonates far deeper than what you perceive. Who am I speaking to today? I am not sure, but I do know that you need to read this and let it sink deep within, let the Truth of who you are in Christ penetrate your very core. It is there that healing will take place. The healing that you long for.

Matthew 10:31 So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Matthew 10:30-32 (in Context) Matthew 10 (Whole Chapter)

Let Jesus do what He needs to do in you, so that you can become all that He intended you to be. Lay down your agenda and sit before God, asking Him what His will is for you this day. Don't give up, rather, give in to God. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:10-12 (in Context) Jeremiah 29 (Whole Chapter) Do you trust Him? Will you trust the one Who knew you even before you were formed in the womb? Will you trust Him?

Do not look back, Luke 9:62 Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." Luke 9:61-62 (in Context) Luke 9 (Whole Chapter) Keep your eyes fixed on God, His face, His service, His Will, His Truth, His Love, Him. Do not be discouraged. Do not be discouraged. Rejoice in the Lord, again I say Rejoice!

1 John 3:1-3 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears,[a]we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure. 1 John 3 (Whole Chapter)

While reading this, I realized that I am writing to myself as much as I am writing for anyone else to read. I make no claims of being a prophet, just an encourager. Sincere Blessings to your day! ~mp:)

They Did Not Realize

Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. ~John 21:4
