- I'm so grateful for Who You are Lord. You are such a faithful God. You give a crown of beauty for ashes,the oil of gladness for mourning and a garment of praise instead of despair. Your love and faithfulness are unfailing.  Help me Lord to always view my life with expectancy...looking to see what You are doing right here, right now..

+ I love to turn things around. I love to take what was meant for evil and change it to good....water into wine...death into life...captivity into freedom...darkness into light. At every turn, when you view your life through the trusting eyes of faith, you see Who I am, shining through every moment. You might not even be able to see Me initially but you know...sure as the night succumbs to day...I am in the midst of wherever you are! I am always transforming...redeeming...healing. It is Who I am - the One Who speaks those things that are not into existence. When you look for My handiwork, you experience My Presence filtering through everything you do and are. My Love always goes before and behind you. Your faith gives me pleasure and I love to watch you experience the strength of my Joy. These are what transform the most mundane moments of your life into little pockets of Heaven. Your expectancy rises - your worries fade- your security and sense of total fulfillment guard you. You know without a shadow of turning (just like your Father) that All Is Well. I am yours and truly, nothing else can alter that truth. Your life expands...you take ground...your mountains disappear...you are in that wide, spacious place no matter what! You taste and see that you are cherished and that your seemingly insignificant life is replete with value. The God of the Universe came that you...the Bridegroom's bride...may have Life and have it to the Full! This is the covenant that will never change. This colors everything into Kingdom. This is why you can continually rejoice!
