Uniquely Blessed

Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.—Matthe w 5:48 (NIV)

You are perfect, exactly as you are right now. You don’t need to accomplish anything or prove your worth. You are not being judged and graded by God. You have been blessed with unique gifts and talents and are now learning life lessons.

Lord, when I am hard on myself—judging myself against an ideal version—guide me back to this beautiful truth. I am right where I am supposed to be.

God’s Eternal Glory

Through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.—Romans 5:2 (NIV)

Grow into Your Dreams

Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.—Psalm 37:4 (ESV)

C. S. Lewis said, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” It is never too late to be who you want to be. Open your heart to new hopes and dreams. Say goodbye to goals that have become outdated. Let go of beliefs that you have outgrown. Look to the future, knowing that everything is possible with God’s help.

Heavenly Father, remind me that I am never too old to pursue my dreams.

Give Praise to Jesus

Think Good Thoughts

In conclusion, my friends, fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable.—Philippians 4:8 (GNT)

Norman Vincent Peale echoed the sentiment in the above Scripture when he wrote “We are either destroyed or made whole by the kind of thoughts we think.” What type of thoughts are you entertaining? The next time you feel overcome with worry or dark thinking, turn to God and bring heavenly light into your life!

Lord, I have the power to control what I think about, and You have the power to turn my darkness into light.

Your Guide on the Journey

Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.—Psalm 25:4–5 (NIV)

When you feel lost in a situation or unsure of what to do, turn to God. He understands everything about you, your passions and goals, strengths and weaknesses—your purpose! Practice God’s presence by reading His Word and spending time with Him.

Lord God, show me Your paths! Teach me Your ways!

A Grateful Start

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; because this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.—1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 (NIV)

In this verse , “thanks” is translated from the Greek word eucharisteo, meaning “to be grateful.” As you just ended the year with thankfulness, begin with gratitude, knowing that as the future unfolds, God’s glorious presence is with you.

Lord, my grateful heart is filled with Your light, which will comfort and guide me through the bright days ahead.

Think Good Thoughts

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.—Philippians 4:8 (NIV)

This verse emphasizes the importance of being optimistic and filling your mind with good thoughts. Replace worries, resentment or jealous thinking with “whatever is pure, lovely and admirable.” Pray for God to help you focus on inspired ideas, then ask for the ambition to put them into action.

Dear God, fill my mind with Your limitless potential!

The Grateful One

One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?”—Luke 17:15–17 (NIV)

Who hasn’t read the above verse and thought, “Why did only one person thank Him for healing such a disfiguring disease?” Yet, when we take a moment and recognize the many blessings that we have forgotten to praise God for, the mistake of the nine lepers becomes more understandable. Today, thank God for your faith and the new life His Word provides.

Heavenly Father, my heart overflows with thanksgiving for Your endless forgiveness and the countless blessings You have showered on my life.

Put Your Name on It

Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.—Isaiah 43:1 (ESV)

Today, personalize a Scripture verse by adding your name to God’s promises and directives. “Fear not, (insert name), for I have redeemed you.” Take His Word deep into your heart as if it is meant specifically for you, because it is!

Lord God, You have called me by name, and I am here to serve You.

God’s Work in Progress

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.—Philippians 1:6 (NIV)

God has planned your life down to the last detail. Even when you doubt His path or become distracted, you can trust that His wisdom and guidance will lead you to a life of purpose. Your experiences and everything that you are going through right now are designed to help transform you into the very best you can be.

Lord, the next time I feel that my life is not on track, remind me that I am a work in progress. I know that You have an amazing plan for me.

Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.—Colossians 2:7 (NLT)

Gratitude will change your life. By being thankful, you reinforce your understanding of God’s goodness. When you are facing a situation that seems confusing or upsetting, thank Him for His understanding. Praise Him for His wisdom and guidance.
