Day 23: Always
GOD gives you & I PERMISSION
to LIVE TODAY
in
LOVE
PEACE
JOY
&
HOPE
even if we feel
UN~Loved
UN~Peaceful
UN~Joyful
UN~Hopeful
because GOD isn't a feeling.
Feelings come & go
and change with the wind
BUT GOD IS
Always & Forever
no matter
what you are feeling
&
no matter
what others are feeling.
GOD IS GOD.
What if the WAIT is over?
What if today you could move beyond your feelings
and give yourself
PERMISSION
to
LIVE IN
A
LOVE
PEACE
JOY
&
HOPE
that never changes
in spite of what you are feeling?
Seems impossible, doesn't it.
As your thoughts & circumstances
are so real
and you start to question
whether
you are
LOVED
whether
PEACE in the storm is a possibility
whether
JOY can put a smile on your face
whether
HOPE is something that you can touch.
And then you hear the word that changes everything,
even your feelings~
JESUS.
The NAME above all NAMES.
GOD'S greatest gift of
MERCY &GRACE
to one & all
as HE doesn't discriminate.
JESUS~
GODS way of giving
you & I
PERMISSION
to be filled with
LOVE
PEACE
JOY
&
HOPE
in the here & now
because
JESUS IS ALWAYS
giving you
PERMISSION
to live above & beyond
every feeling
every circumstance
that is so very real
that you can't believe that you could
ever experience it
because
HIS LOVE IS ALWAYS~
"Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in CHRIST JESUS" (Romans 8:1)
HIS PEACE IS ALWAYS~
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid" (John 14:27)
HIS JOY & HIS HOPE IS ALWAYS~
"May the GOD of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in HIM, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT" (Romans 15:13)
The WAIT is over.
PERMISSION to LIVE in
the ABUNDANT life that
JESUS has come to give
ALWAYS~
"But we have this precious treasure [the good news about salvation]
in [unworthy] earthen vessels [of human frailty], s
o that the grandeur and surpassing greatness of the power will be [shown to be] from
GOD [HIS sufficiency]
and not from ourselves.
We are pressured in every way [hedged in],
but not crushed;
perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair;
hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone];
struck down, but never destroyed;
ALWAYS carrying around in the body the dying of JESUS,
so that the [resurrection] life of JESUS also may be shown in our body.
For we who live are constantly [experiencing the threat of] being handed over to death for JESUS’ sake,
so that the [resurrection] life of JESUS also may be evidenced in
our mortal body [which is subject to death].
So physical death is [actively] at work in us, but [spiritual] life [is actively at work] in you"
(2 Corinthians 4:7-12)
