“Yet You, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand…Whoever touches you, touches the apple of His eye…But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.”
Isaiah 64:8; Zechariah 2:8; 1 Peter 2:9
Before I ever put a star in the sky, I had you in My mind. You were and still are completely sewn into My heart. I knew when and where you would be.
I don’t tell you how amazing you are to puff you up. And, I tell you so you know from whom you are – Me! Being my creation is a gift I freely give for the sole purpose of relationship… relationship with Me and relationship with others enjoying sweet fellowship.
All you need to do is bow the knee, submit to My will for you, believe you are who I say you are and then get busy being a blessing – being completely satisfied and filled with joy.
Your turn …
Look closely in the mirror. Who do you see? If you don’t see amazing, close your eyes and believe Me child. Now look again. Repeat, until you see amazing…until you know I only make amazing. This truth says you, My child, are a daughter of The King…amazing! And I absolutely adore you.
Now my precious daughter, sit with Me a while and humbly pray … “LORD, You alone are my portion and my cup; You make my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.”
Psalm 16:5-8
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!…For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight.”
2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 1:4
With you Forever,
Abba

How to do this as a weekly bible study
Day One: Experience
Read the entire devotion. Do any verses stand out to you? If so, write it down and work on memorizing it over the week. I personally love the app Scripture Typer.
Day Two: Observe
Read & Chain. Look up & chain verses (For example on how to chain verses, see video).
Day Three: Interpret
Read through the chain of verses starting with the first one. What do they say? Do you notice when it says “never” or “always” or “If, but, however, therefore, all…..”
Day Four: Application
Do “Your turn” and make a list of people that God has put on your heart when you read this.
Day Five: Testify
Who in your life, right now, can you share this with?
There is somebody in your life that needs to hear this. Close your eyes. What name came to mind?
