Hover

Greetings,

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters” (Genesis 1:1-2).

The entire creation came into existence because God hovered.  Something amazing came out of nothing because God was close by. And He will create something new and beautiful in your life when You invite Him to hang out in your circumstances.  

PRAYER: Dear Lord, we invite You to hover over us right now with Your unparalleled magnificence. Invade our relationships and create new love, new understanding, and new trust.  Invade our bodies and create health and well-being.  Linger over our emotions and create new levels of peace, hope, and faith that will bless us in ways we never thought possible but desperately need.  We never have to be or feel empty when You, the Almighty Creator of heaven and earth are nearby.  In Jesus’ name, Amen~

As High as the Heavens~

Greetings in the name of our precious Lord and Savior!

God is Almighty and All-Powerful.  And among the many many names He has in the Bible is, "Lord of the Heavenly Armies."  Sounds like God is the Big Wig of big wigs!

And yet, there are some things God can not do.  Shocking, right?  But yes, there are some things that our mighty Lord can not do.

He can not not love you.

Let that sink in...

He can not help Himself; He loves you no matter what.  NO MATTER WHAT.

"Yenise, are you saying that it doesn't matter what I have done, He loves me?"

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying.

"How much does He love me?"

Psalm 103:11

"His love for us is as high as the heavens are above the earth."

I looked up to the heavens this morning, and it's pretty high.  It's safe to say His love for us is immeasurable.  And it brings with it the certainty of a better tomorrow.

John 3:16 (The Message version)

"“This is how much God loved the world: He gave His Son, His one and only Son. And this is why: by believing in Him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life."

I pray that this double whammy--God's love for you and the promise of a whole and lasting life--will fill you with joy and peace today.  

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for Your love for us, the heights of which we will never fully understand.  But we do not have to understand it to receive it, so we receive it.  Fill us till we overflow with Your love, and thank You that a whole and lasting life is ours.  In Jesus' name, AMEN~
