For in Him we live and move and exist [that is, in Him we actually have our being], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’” Acts 17:28 (AMP) 

What a beautiful reality we have as dearly loved children of the Most High God, that we could live, move, and actually have our being, in our Creator, Redeemer, Father, and Friend! It is here in His presence we can remain hidden—covered in a paradise of protection! Where fullness of joy is found and the goodness of God is revealed, and received.
 
Grace unending flows; bringing refreshing and rest. On-going renewal, strength and ability, is liberally supplied for all we need, and all we are called or required to do. There is peace in the challenges; banquets set in the midst of enemies; and most of all the incredible privilege of being with the Worthy One, our Champion Defender, the Lord God over all!
 
This is not a, “once in a while, for a special few” invitation, rather, it is His deepest desire for you, and for your entire family and whole life too! A life meant to be lived in the sound of His voice, in the tangible manifestation of His mercy, and in His unfolding and unfailing love. This is the place you were made for; always available; eternally accessible; and waiting for you!
 
Even now, divinely loved one, feel His wrap-around presence covering you, carrying you, and caring for you in the tenderest of ways. In His presence is everything you need, because He is everything you need.  
 
Chosen child of the Most High God, this is His heart for you in today, and all the days through! This is how much He loves to be with you. This is how much He loves.

Prayer:
 
Dearest Father and Lord, You alone know the pain I have felt in relationships—not always being able to be loved in the way You had intended for me; not always able to love as I should.
 
And yet here You are, Father over all, in Your goodness and grace, reminding me that I am Your beloved child, and that Your love is perfect and true.
 
Today Father, as an act of faith, I receive Your love; I accept that I am Your beloved child—cherished and cared in ways that heal the past and set me up for a glorious future too.
 
Renew my mind I pray Holy Spirit, where this seems too good to be true. Teach me to walk in Your ways, to receive Your goodness and grace, and to love as You would have me do.
 
In the Holy Name of Jesus, I pray.
