Appreciate His Love for You
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that worketh in us
(Ephesians 3:20).
The Lord is more committed to your prosperity
and progress than you could ever be. No matter
the thoughts and desire you have for success, God sure
has better thoughts and plans for your success. It brings
to mind what the Spirit revealed through the prophet
Jeremiah: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward
you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of
evil, to give you an expected end” (Jeremiah 29:11).
Can you see that? It means that His thoughts
towards you are always good; there’s no single thought
of evil, sickness, poverty or negativity in His mind
toward you. Think about it! Some people have lived
with the erroneous belief that God is mad at them, and
His disposition towards them is dependent on how
good, nice or well-behaved they’ve been, but that’s not
true. First, you need to understand that God is love (1
John 4:8,16). Secondly, He is goodness personified.
Luke’s submission in Acts 10:38 gives us an idea
of His nature and disposition; His plans and purpose
towards His people. It says, “How God anointed Jesus
of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who
went about doing good, and healing all that were
oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” Let
this be your meditation; ponder deeply on the Father’s
love and affectionate disposition towards you. He said
in 3 John 1:2, “Beloved, I wish above all things that
thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy
soul prospereth.”
Appreciate the Father’s love for you. He loves you
more than you could possibly imagine; He loves you
more than you love yourself, and he’s more desirous
and passionate about your success than you could ever
be. He seeks your good all the time. O, how gracious
and loving He is!
Prayer
Dear Father, I’m grateful for your love, and acknowledge
your glory in my life. There’s none like you, blessed Father.
You’ve made my heart your dwelling place, and beautified
me with your righteousness.
Your goodness, mercy, and grace follow me all the days of my life,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
