Psalm 56:13b-14 “I will present my thank offerings to you. For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling that I may walk before God in the light of life.” (NIV)

Father – I choose to praise and thank you today. Every good thing I have comes from you, whether internal such as talents, health and peace or external such as material blessings. You are my source of all I have or need. Thank you for being such a loving and faithful supplier!

Thank you, too, for delivering me from spiritual death by transferring me from the kingdom of darkness into your kingdom of light through the blood of Jesus. It’s a done deal and I choose to walk in that victory today.

Child – Always choose to walk in the light. My Word is light for your path. It shines out in your world and those who recognize Me as its source walk secure.

I have spoken words of life to you. Hold onto them no matter what may go on around you. My Words are the only truth. Trust and obey and you will continually walk in victory no matter what the enemy tries to throw at you.

Claim the promises and stand! I am within you and I am all you need. Remember I love you completely.

Abba

2 Corinthians 5:21 “For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin so that we could be made right with God through Christ.” (NLT)

Child – Ask for a full understanding of this great gift. It has been given to you and to all mankind, but only those who fully accept it find spiritual freedom.

I love you and have provided the way – the only way – for you to be able to stand before Me cleansed of your sin. You were born into a rebellious world. This world rejected Me and was in need of restoration to be able to have right-standing before Me.

I created you for myself and I made the way for you to stand clean before Me when I sent Jesus as your Savior. The only way to have right-standing with Me is to realize your need for this gift and accept my provision of it. You cannot earn right-standing with Me through anything you do.

I am the source of your redemption and I supplied the way to complete right-standing. Rejoice in this gift and respond with gratitude. No, you are not worthy of this gift, but I chose you and provided it for you.

In this season of giving, receive what you have been given. Then you can walk in peace each day knowing you are loved and fully accepted because you are mine.

Blessings, dear one.  Abba

A Prized Possession

James 1:18 “He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we out of all creation became his prized possession.” (NLT)

Child – Did that last phrase really register with your spirit? You are my prized possession. You were created by Me for Me. You bring Me pleasure just by your existence. And you bring Me great pleasure when you recognize my hand in all the blessings you have been given.

All good comes from Me. I choose to bless you with big and small gifts each day. As you notice them and react with thanksgiving, I am blessed too. Yes, child, you can bless Me! The more you notice the good things you have been given, the more it pleases Me.

I am love and I desire to give you Myself. My love brings the good. Stay aware of all you have been given. Develop your heart of gratitude. That will lead to peace, joy and contentment despite what else is going on in the world around you.

We have a personal relationship through your adoption. I made that possible through my Son Jesus’ sacrificial death. When you accepted what he did for you, you became part of my true family. It is the best gift you’ve ever been given! Remember as you react with gratitude and enjoy your status as a child of the King, my pleasure greatly increases.

Love you,  Abba
