Every sunrise is a blessing, a gift just for today. Embrace it and enjoy it before it fades away.” If we choose to see the gifts that God has given us, we will see His fingerprints of Love and divinity all around us.
Some days may be harder than others. Regardless of the type of day we may be having, it’s important to remember that we need to slow down. To focus on TODAY. To take it one day at a time or one moment at a time. We can make a conscious choice to be present, in the here and now. We can ask God to help us become more aware of our surroundings, and more willing to focus on our blessings.
We can choose to be filled with Peace in this moment. We can choose to be filled with Love and light. All of these are gifts that we can give to ourselves. Gifts that we can give to God, and gifts that we can give to others. We can choose to focus our attention on seeing the light, beauty and love that is woven in all that surrounds us at this very moment.
God wants us to be more present. He tells us in Mathew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
God wants us to practice being more present. Each moment brings with it the gift of life and the chance to focus on seeing our blessings and experiencing love in this very moment. Remember that this small moment, this precious day will not come again. We have never seen a day like this before. Therefore we must try to make it the best it can be. We can choose to focus our choices and activities on what is truly important and on what will allow us to feel more connected to God and his daily gifts.
We can change the way we see things normally, and focus instead on the beauty that is around us. we can start to view our day as being saturated in sacred sights and sounds. Then, this moment right here, right now, where we are, broken, messy, or whatever it may be, can become a beautiful & holy moment.
James 1:17 Says: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
God is the provider and the giver of all Good gifts. If we choose to see His light in our lives, we will see Him and feel Him.
I want to share a quick experience that I had this week. One of my family members had a doctors appointment and I was nervous about the results. I had a moment where I said a little prayer in my heart and asked Heavenly Father to help us butterfly that I have seenfeel peace and to know that everything would be ok. After hours of waiting, as we were leaving the doctor’s office, I opened the door to leave and I saw the most beautiful big white butterfly that I’ve ever seen! As I looked at it, I had this feeling come to my heart and mind that God is very present in our lives and that he knows how we feel. I felt that those butterflies that I saw were like my angels that were present during that very time that I needed it. 🦋
If we’re willing to see Gods fingerprints in this very moment, we will see Him and know that he’s way more present than we think. Even though we don’t know what the outcome of something may be. We can still trust that we are in His hands and that we have a Father in Heaven and a Savior who want to comfort us and help us.
He gives us more than we realize daily. He loves us and wants us to keep our view focused on trusting HIM & not the world. He is The Father of of our souls, the one who grants us our breath this day and He is the giver of all that we have. He who knows the end from the beginning & is ready to help us and lift us daily. We just have to reach up to Him and consciously be aware of how blessed we are and the gifts that He is constantly giving us.
So, let’s remind ourselves today to look up! Look up to the Father of lights to fill us with more light. As his children we already have his light within us. But it is up to us to fill our hearts, homes and all that surrounds us with more of His divine light. The more we’re willing to see it, the more we’ll be able to experience it.
Let’s remember to not allow the enemy to bring us down. Recognizing the negative ways in which he attacks us. But also remembering that we’re stronger than we realize. Our power comes from our Father in Heaven. Who is filled with love, light and peace. Our power comes from Christ. & we know that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. So, find your strength in Christ today.
Reject negativity with the power of prayer and let’s feed our minds and souls with all that is good & uplifting. We get to CHOOSE to focus on the light or not. God invites us to experience His love in the daily moments that He gives us on this earth. So, Enjoy them and allow your heart to be peaceful and soak in that daily divine light.
I invite all of us to look for the light, for the gifts that God so abundantly gives each one of us daily. I invite us to also be a light to others and to consciously choose to be filled with Love, Light and Peace form one moment to the next. Let’s recognize and thank God for all of the gifts He has blessed us with and continues to provide even to this very moment.
Finally, I want to challenge all of us to make a promise to ourselves to take our focus away from ourselves a little more and think of a gift that we personally could offer to God this week? What would be a good gift to give Him for all He does for each one of us? I pray that as you do this you will be blessed to feel an even greater abundance of Gods love and blessings.
Sadly class is canceled tonight. But we will resume again next week. Remember to set a physical goal for yourself to move your body and do your best this week. & also remember to take care of your spirit as well. Setting some time aside daily to allow yourself to connect to God in Prayer and meditation. đź’–
Love you all and hope to see you next week.
Love,
