I AM THE CULMINATION of all your hopes and desires. I am the
Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last: who is and was and is to
come. Before you knew Me, you expressed your longing for Me in
hurtful ways. You were ever so vulnerable to the evil around you in the
world. But now My Presence safely shields you, enfolding you in My
loving arms. I have lifted you out of darkness into My marvelous
Light.
Though I have brought many pleasures into your life, not one of them is
essential. Receive My blessings with open hands. Enjoy My good gifts,
but do not cling to them. Turn your attention to the Giver of all good
things, and rest in the knowledge that you are complete in Me. The one
thing you absolutely need is the one thing you can never lose: My
Presence with you.
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
PSALM 62 : 5 – 8
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own
special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of
darkness into His marvelous light.
1 PETER 2 : 9 (NKJV)
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the
heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
JAMES 1 : 17
