Find rest, O my
soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.
Psalm 62:5
There are many who deal with emotional hang-ups from past experiences.
Their days become flooded with memories, that haunt and prevent them,
from seeing themselves as God sees them; a new creation. They have lost
the ability to love themselves, let alone believe in their hearts that
God, creator of all could love them. Nothing could be further from the
truth; God loves us all, and is always merciful and ready to extend His
hand of grace towards us. Regardless of how damaged your life has been
in the past, with God there is always a new morning. He is ready to
embrace you, heal your wounded heart and mind, restoring life to your
soul. We need to embrace God, as the loving caring Father He is and put
aside our own distorted perceptions of Him. Open up God’s word, you will
begin to learn of His consistent character, the mercy of His heart and
His unconditional love. Allow the truth of what He is, to sink deep into
your soul.
Prayer
Lord, help us to receive and embrace Your love, give us the ability to
see ourselves through Your eyes of mercy and grace. We thank You for the
new life You have given, for extending grace and accepting us just the
way we were. Help us to realize, we are a new creation, being formed by
Your hands. Help us to realize our potential in You. Continue to change
our hearts and lives, creating us in Your perfect image; that we may
fulfill what You have purposed for our lives. Amen.
