Be Brave

Daily Blessing

You're about to step out into new territory. You're ready to try again; to fly again. But you're afraid too. Afraid that what happened before may happen again. It's a tender place for you. If that's you, this blessing is for you: May you know—with everything in you—that every tender spot in your heart is also a tender place in the Father's heart. He knows what you've been through; knows what you've overcome, and He will see you safely through your journey. In the days ahead, may you grow increasingly confident in God's Fatherly affection and promise of protection. What He allows, He redeems. And who He calls, He equips. Yes, there'll be giants, haters, and nit-pickers, but only for a little while. Soon you'll serve Jesus in heaven with no opposition, no insecurity, and no enemy threat breathing down your neck. But in the meantime, go forward bravely. You're not who you once were. Jesus rescued and redeemed you, and He's not even close to finished with you. Rejoice. You're on your way to another victory. Have a blessed day!

Romans 8:18-19, 38-39 ~  Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are…And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
