Today

(I'm delighted to post this excellent piece from someone I love and respect a great deal. Although I never met her, I grew up listening to Katina's music on an old cassette tape my mom had. Those songs were my first clear introduction to the grace of God. Thank you, Katina!)

Today

I will walk in love at all times and will not demand love from others for the Lord God loves me and His love is perfect and unchangeable.

I have no fears - other than the fear of God for all power belongs to Him in heaven and earth and it lies in His hand to make great and strengthen me.

I will walk in wisdom, strength and confidence for I am a new person and I have a desire to please God.

I am able to commit my ways unto Him and make the right decisions for my motives are not selfish and I am ever so pliable before Him.

He has forgiven me, therefore I can forgive myself and others. Neither do I hold grudges... He has accepted me as I am, therefore I have accepted myself and can accept others as they are... I LOVE THE FAMILY OF GOD... I LOVE ME... BECAUSE OF JESUS IN ME.

My Father gives me GOOD things so TODAY I rise in faith believing that all things work together for good because I LOVE HIM.

I will be patient and long-suffering with myself and others just as JESUS is long-suffering with me.

I will not fear about my future, my finances, my family or sickness for His grace is upon me and I am in union with Him - therefore His peace shall never leave me and He has made even my enemies to be at peace with me.

I will not live in the past or worry about the future for I am risen with Christ and I am seated in the heavenlies and my life is that of ruling and reigning with Him.

I will not compete with others but I will compete with myself so that I may win a prize - He alone is perfect in me.

I will go from grace to grace, glory to glory for I have no other Idols, images or Gods before me other than the image of God my Father and Jesus my Lord.

His Spirit is upon me, I am anointed of Him, I am as the lily of the valley. I neither toil nor spin, I have entered into a rest in Him by faith.

I am not carried away by every wind of doctrine for my foundation is standing firm and tall - I have the chief cornerstone which shall never, never crumble - JESUS.

I stand complete in Him - His joy in me is full. I am His workmanship - I lack nothing today.
