Living without lack
It IS a HAPPY new year for me.
It has taken much time, but the unconditional love of God is sinking in. His grace towards me, His favor and annointing apon me, His delight in me, His provision for me, His always-with-me never-leaving presence in me, His confidence concerning me, and His life and strength instead of me. Love is taking root...fear is leaving. He loves me. He even likes me. I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus! He truely is a good shepherd who cares for each of us uniquely and completely. I am discovering how much I truely don't need a thing. I have been given everything I need already in Him and His love is making it possible to begin to really believe and recieve this reality.
This year I get to ENJOY living from my Spirit; from the place of perfection and completeness. I get to remove the masks, walking free of the fear of man and the intimidation of the enemy. Loosened of my grave clothes, I get to declare resurrection life to others. I get to look towards my future with hope and walk with confidence in the moment. Yep, I am happy.
"Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Happy are those to whom the Lord imputes no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit". Psalm 32:1-2

Adoption
Seven years ago I watched this series of videos and was completely wrecked! It was around the same time that God invited this little butterfly out of the jar into the wild and free of His grace. I had absolutely no idea at the time what I was in for. HAHAHA ...and we have only just begun. What an absolute gift to watch them all over again. You are so good Pappa. Thankyou for making me your girl. Perhaps they will comfort and encourage someone else wherever you are at.

each moment...each person
A chance to show love.
A chance to give hope.
A chance to reveal that God is no longer counting men's sins against them!
A chance to give hope.
A chance to reveal that God is no longer counting men's sins against them!
playing it safe or taking a chance on love?
Grace is a risky thing. It really is. So is love, forgiveness, trust,and freedom.
And yet everyday He puts his heart out there...for me. For you. And allows us to choose.
For two whole years Father wrecked me with the revelation of what good news we have been given. It delighted me and made me furious.
I was made for adventure. I was made to love...extravegantly...abundantly.
I was made to live on the edge...to stand out...to be a "light" where it is dark.
But my heart was really hurt and really scared. I needed my protective shell...the cocoon that hid me and kept me safe.
And in the midst of the barriers and the walls your transforming grace left me all the more fragile....but desperate to be free....to fly. Father, you are shifting something in me and its rocking my world.
So here I am. Ready to discover who I am. Ready to take your hand.

The gift He gave....more than enough, my contentment
HIMSELF (part 2)
by A.B Simpson
HEALING IN HIMSELF
And so I thought the healing would be an it too, that the Lord would take me like an old run down clock, wind me up, and set me going like a machine. It is not thus at all. I found it was Himself coming in instead and giving me what I needed at the moment. I wanted to have a great stock, so that I could feel rich; a great store laid up for many years, so that I would not be dependent upon Him the next day; but He never gave me such a store. I never had more holiness or healing at one time than i needed for that hour. He said " My child you must come to Me for the next breath because I love you so dearly I want you to come all the time. If I gave you a great supply, you would do without Me and would not come to Me so often; now you have to come to Me every second, and lie on my breast evvery moment."
He gave me a great fortune, placed thousands and millions at credit, but He gave me a cheque-book with this one condition,"You can never draw more than you need at the time." Every time a cheque was wanted, however, there was the name of Jesus upon it, and so it brought more glory to Him, kept His name before the heavenly world and God was glorified in His Son.
