We are not strangers to God and the Kingdom. As His children we belong. We are accepted. We are members in His household which means that all He has for us is ours. We have privileges and rights to HIs blessings.

Every single one of us are loved and accepted by God. He does not have favourites. There is no division in him. You belong.

Giving thanks to God reminds us why we can trust Him with our challenges and needs. As we give thanks and tell others of what God has done, we are strengthened to believe Him to continue to keep His promises and to work on our behalf.

No matter what we face, God is with us and will bring us through. He has promised and will keep His promises. No water, no fire will bring destruction to us and keep God away from working everything out. He is faithful

We don't have to work to earn God's approval or blessings. He loves us because He created us. He loves us for who we are and not what we do. He loves us in spite of knowing our failures and short comings. He knows and loves us of us unconditionally.

We are to follow God in our actions and words. We can never be God but we can always be like God sharing His love to others and working to expand the Kingdom. May we imitate Christ by always seeking the Father and doing what He asks. He knows best. May we listen to the Holy Spirit's voice and walk in truth and blessing.

God hears our voices and He moves towards us. He leans in. He comes close to listen. He is interested in hearing us. He is actively listen. Let us speak to Him and hold nothing back.

When we slip and make mistakes, God does not leave us down. He picks us up and comforts us. He wants us to rise. He wants us to succeed. He loves us.

We can't keep going and running till we are empty. We need to rest in the Lord. He calls us to come to Him and rest. His rest is always what we need.

We were not created to live for the things that do not last. We were created to have live living after the things of God. Being spiritually minded is a blessing. That is where we find peace. The things of this world come and go. They are left behind. But God's kingdom will last forever.
