“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” [Ephesians 3:20]

‘The Father has loved us so much that we are called children of God. And we really are his children. The reason the people in the world do not know us is that they have not known him.” [1 John 3:1]

Today has been a quite difficult day to get through emotionally. I suppose it would be easier if I started it out properly by doing my devotional bright and early; however, I wait until 5:30 in the evening to do it. My day isn’t over and I know I can finish it better than I started it.It doesn’t have to end as badly as my feelings want it to. My faith must triumph over the mixed emotions. My faith lifts me up when the rest of the world seems to crumble.

I have to maintain my faith in Him, in His promises. Though it seems like everything is headed in the opposite direction, He has a plan. He has a purpose. Everything I’ve been writing for the last 12 days have correlated one way or another. I’m just reiterating the same thing in different ways. I’m getting tired of saying the same thing over and over, but I need it. It’s time like today when I need wheat I’ve been saying engraved in my heart. I have to be constant remembrance of all God has revealed to me. Through my faith I receive His promises. No matter what happens, as a child of God I must live by faith. Without my faith, I’ll never please God.

Lord, I want my faith in You to grow. I want to speak in faith. I want to watch You do more than I could have ever thought You would do. I want to please You. If my faith isn’t strong, my testimony isn’t either. What am I spreading about You if I let my feelings get the best of me? I want to love and only love. I want to spread peace and only peace. I want to have joy and only joy. The world is going to want to knock me down, but I don’t want to stay down. I want to get right back with Your strength. I want to be the living expression of You in me. Let every inch of me reveal You living in me. Pour Yourself through every one of my pores. Thank You for the days that knock me down. They remind me how quickly You can get me back up. Thank You for Your Love and Your acceptance. Thank You for Your provision. Thank You for all You are doing, all You have done, and all You have yet to do.
