Journals of the Heart

Word of the Day

I am moving in your life in sometimes indiscernible ways, line upon line, precept upon precept, and from one degree of glory to another (2 Cor 3:18). Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. There is more going on behind the scenes than you could ever imagine. This is where faith comes in, faith to believe I mean and do what I say. I am not a man that I should lie (Nehemiah 23:19). I would not say all I have said to you and not do it. Trust in My character, in My faithfulness, in My love which endures forever.

Did you know endure means to experience pain or hardship or disagreeable things without giving up, the ability survive or the ability to continue over long periods of time in the face a trials and tribulations (definition partially based on the Encarta Dictionary).

Does your love endure? Does it bear up under trials, abide, endure, suffer, have fortitude, and persevere? Mine does. Is your love patient? Mine is. I have a vested interest in enduring; My blood, and I have given it for and to you. Believe Me for yourself and be like Me for others.

Just remember this; all of creation groans, even longs for the revealing of the sons of God (Rom 8:19). Creation in all of its beauty, in all of its magnificence, stretching out across the earth and heavens can’t compare to your beauty. Nothing can compare to the unfolding of your destiny. Your value is so great there is no way to calculate its worth other than to state the obvious. Your worth is calculated by what I gave; everything. Why would I cease loving you, changing you, working for you, adoring you now? It can never be.

Yes, creation longs to see you in all your fullness. The trees of the field are clapping their hands, rejoicing as they dance a dance of jubilant praise in celebration of your emerging personification of My image.
Beloved, I will not let it be denied. I will not let My own heart be denied. Arise My beautiful one. Arise and shine in the splendor planned for you before the foundations of the world. You are the apple of My eye, My beautiful, radiant one- right where you are- right now. Read Complete Love Letter…

Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening] (1 Cor 13:7 Amplified)

Prayer

Lord, You are working in my life in so many ways, seen and unseen. You are faithful and true to Your Word in all things, in all ways. I have faith to believe. I am going from glory to glory. Your love for Me endures to the very end and bears up under all things in my life. My ups and downs are not reasons for shame or guilt, but valuable lessons of faithfulness. I am loved by the Lord and His love never ceases in my life. I am being changed day by day into the beautiful image of the Lord. He is patient with me and I am patient with myself and others. I arise in the splendor of all He says I am in Him. I am radiant and beautiful the Lover of my soul. I am loved right now, right where I am. I am emerging out of my cocoon, displaying the personification of the Lord. I am loved. Amen
