[God’s Generous Grace] Everything we could ever need for life and complete devotion to God has already been deposited in us by his divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing him who has called us by name and invited us to come to him through a glorious manifestation of his goodness”. 2 Peter 1:3 (TPT)

Circumstances in your life may have conditioned you to view the world with a scarcity mindset—that feeling that there is never enough to go around and certainly not enough for you! Not enough love, not enough resources, relationships, provision. You name it—it just isn’t there. However, quite the opposite is actually true, for you are joined with an unshakeable bond to a generous God and His storehouses of provision are overflowing with good things, set apart and made ready for you!

All the mercy, grace, and kindness you need; wisdom and understanding in abundance. Love this is never in short supply. In fact, it is the very currency of heaven and the substance of all you need—for all you need is love and God is love! 

Even in the midst of what may feel like not enough, let the One Who is more than enough come and lavish His love upon you. Let Him draw you deeper into the revelation of Who He is and just how much He cares for, and about, you. Good things will follow from there, treasured one. His power at work within you, through you, and towards you, will make it so!

Prayer:

Gracious God, I thank You that everything I need and require to live the life of abundance You have for me—has already been provided by Your generous hand.

Lord, where I have not received the blessings because I have felt unworthy, or could not believe it was for me, where past life experiences have caused me to expect that will never be enough, and certainly not for me, would you renew my mind through the power of Your truth today?  Where I have done things knowingly or unknowingly that has hindered those blessings from coming,  I ask Your forgiveness today.

Come now Holy Spirit of the Living God and awaken me to my full inheritance in Christ. Awaken me to His power at work in me and His goodness flowing to, and through me. I want to see things as you see them, not as the world has taught me. I want to walk in the abundance of heaven, to give thanks, and rejoice.

For His glory alone, gracious Father,  I pray!
