James 1:12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.
James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Jude 1:24-25 To Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy— 25 to the only God our Saviour be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!
1 Samuel 2:30 Those who honour Me I will honour.
1 Peter 3:12-13 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. 13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
Romans 13:10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
May you recognize God’s abundance is yours and, when others dispute with you, may you yield in a spirit of grace and walk away in a spirit of peace, for God will give you room and cause you to flourish in the land. Genesis 26
May you let the reverent worship of, and respectfully obedient awe toward, the Lord replace the uneasy turmoil concerning, and the worrying regard about, what men will think and what actions people will take toward you. Just as you rest securely in the Lord, He will bless you and will increase your authority in Him, giving you the victory over the world and making you an overcomer in His kingdom. Genesis 26
May you rest assured and remain confident that God’s promises are certain and His purposes shall be accomplished. Though Isaac preferred Esau for his outdoors skills and hunting success, God preferred Jacob for the desires of his heart and his hunger for the things of God. His promise at their birth that the elder shall serve the younger came to be, even though the schemes of people caused unnecessary suffering and anxiety. Genesis 27
Giving is the expression of My loving nature, My chosen one. I am love, therefore I give. That which I am determines what I do.
I have given you much, My child, including adoption into My family and partnership in My work. This is what allows you to both partake of My standards, through My indwelling Spirit, and bear My name, which represents My nature. In this manner is My image created and formed within your heart and mind. Yield to the impulses of My nature; give in to the urges of My love; comply with the leading of My Spirit; align your actions with the truths I give you from My Word.
Do you have anything that others would want that I did not give you? Do you possess anything that would be of benefit to others that did not come from Me? My supply knows no shortage, My loved one, it only knows blockage; if you do not share what I have provided but hold on to what I have supplied you, I cannot give more.
Dry bread and stale water do not have life and cannot attract others or satisfy appetites. Although you serve the dishes at the banqueting table, and though you labor in the kitchen in preparation, it is I who stock the pantry with the goodness that satiates the soul-needs of the poor, the needy, the down-trodden, the abused, the neglected, the despondent, the abandoned, the rejected, the lonely, the wounded, the broken-hearted, the empty, the exhausted, the despairing, the confused, the wandering, the tormented, the suffering, all My lost sheep that I have given everything to redeem, rescue, and restore.
Join Me in giving from My storehouse to those who will receive, and share with Me the joy of the labor accomplished.
May you see by the story of the paralytic that your sins are forgiven and you are accepted by God through faith in His Son, Jesus, rather than by anything you can do. Therefore, go in the assurance of the love of God, obeying Him for the joy of it, and be free from the striving to be worthy of all He gives you. He has already accepted you in Christ. Matthew 9
May you always be aware of your shortcomings and failings, your weaknesses and needs. Thus your joy may be full from the provisions of God as He willingly gives strength and grace, wisdom and understanding, stability and love, in abundant and ever-available supply. It is only as you know your own need that you will seek out the Lord, Who is full of mercy, for His answers, which are given generously and without reproach. Those who have no needs do not seek the Lord. Matthew 9
May you bring your affliction before the Lord so that He may hear your desire and encourage you, listening to your cry and defending you as your King, for ever and ever. In this way, man, who is of the earth, will terrify you no more and the principalities and powers of the air will perish from His land. Psalm 10
