The Fountain Day 313: Cascades of light

I keep seeing God pouring light over me.  I see Him releasing favor over me.  We are children of favor, when we are children of God. 

I pray that each one of us learns how to gracefully receive the favor of God. 

Imagine it this way…

Which of your children do you favor the most?  Of course, your answer was, “I love all of my kids and favor them each the same.” 

Well…

This is how God sees us.

We are each His favorite.  We each live under His favor.

Does this make sense?

Knowing that each of your own kids is favored by you…what do you prefer…for them to act and feel as if they are favored by you, or not?  Do you enjoy watching them be and feel insecure?  Of course not.  If you’re anything like me, then you long for your children to be fully established in their value and to walk with confidence.

God is the same. 

Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?  Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?  If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?       Luke 11:11-13

You are special to God.  You haven’t earned it, it just is.  It’s about time we all start to act like it.  Imagine how much authority, wisdom, and courage you would walk in if you actually believed God favors you.

God, I receive Your favor.  Thank You for loving me.  I long to walk more confidently, please encourage my heart.  Bring my mind into alignment with the Spirit You have placed within me.  I belong to You, I know that full well.  In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you.  He will be with you; He will neither fail you nor abandon you.”  Deuteronomy 31:8

The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame.  You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.  Isaiah 58:11
