Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we’re a free people—free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free! He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth”. Ephesians 1:7-10 (MSG) What wondrous good news this is! A celebration song that we can walk in, rejoice over, and proclaim! No matter how things look in any circumstance, or how we may feel on the good days or bad, there is always a higher principle at work. And that it the principal of God’s eternal promise to you! You are free. You are provided for. Someone Who cares deeply about you, and is committed to you, has taken great delight in who you are, and all you are created to do.
Ask Holy Spirit to show you today what God’s glorious good plans for your life are. What it is all meant to look like and be. He has made each day with purpose, and filled them with good things, just as He has made you to live abundantly free! Open the door of your heart, precious one, and your life, even today. Welcome in the extravagance of heaven to be made manifest, in, through, and for you, here on earth. Don’t let anyone ever tell you that it’s not meant for you, or that you don’t deserve it. They would have to take that up with Jesus, the One Who emptied Himself of His very life, so that yours would be complete and full. There is no arguing there, dear heart, for this brilliant future and glorious hope is already settled and set apart. A gift of love from God’s own heart to be explored and embraced, with miracle mercies made new every day, as His loyal love watches and washes, over you! Prayer: Jesus, how can I ever repay You for all that You have done. Giving up Your place in the centre of the Father’s love, to come to earth, making a way for me to follow You home, into that same love too! Marvellous God, majestic and holy, I celebrate; I receive; and I thank You! You gave this to me as a free gift, and I give my heart, and my life, as a gift back to You. Thank You Father God for Your perfect plan—for my life, for all mankind, for all eternity. All glory and praise, belong to You, our radiant hope, our glorious God, faithful, and true.
