Objective: Meditate on the fact that his sacrifice fulfilled every requirement of the law, for me.
Reflection:
I felt SO loved. Like I haven't in months. I sacrificed Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and TV. I focused on God instead of filling my life with other things, I filled it with the presence of God. I continually asked for His thoughts of me, His feelings, His words He wanted to speak over me. I realized how I've been walking around defeated once again. I've felt more alone these past couple months than I ever have. Felt like I've been left behind by everyone I know, and left alone to deal with all my issues. I realized finally today, that I am never alone. Though I may not always feel Him so near, or realize that He's holding me so tight, I am beginning to believe that He is, no matter the situation. And as I go through the day, I ask him where He is, and He reveals Himself to me. He shows me that He's there, all I have to do is ask and receive that He there. God is good, and as I reflect on His sacrifice, I realize the immense love that His sacrifice represents and when those thoughts of doubt come into my mind, I remember that Christ gave His life for me, and THAT'S HOW MUCH HE LOVES ME.
Verses the lord speaks over me today:
"Praise the Lord, I tell myself; with my whole heart, I will praise His Holy name. Praise the Lord, I tell myself, and never forget the good things He does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He ransoms me from death and surrounds me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle's. The Lord gives righteousness and justice to all who are treated unfairly." Psalm 103:1-6
'For this Good News--that God has prepared a place of rest-- has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn't believe what God told them. For only we who believe can enter his place of rest." Hebrews 4:2-3
"Since He Himself has gone through suffering and temptation, He is able to help us when we are being tempted." Hebrews 2:18
"He personally carried away our sins in His own body on the cross so we can be dead to sin and lie for what is right. You have been healed by His wounds." 1 Peter 2:24
"Be careful. Watch out for attacks from the Devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victim to devour. Take a firm stand against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are." 1 Peter 5:8-9
"I have loved you, My people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love, I have drawn you to Myself." Jeremiah 31:3
"Yes, says the Lord, I will do mighty miracles for you, like those I did when I rescued you from slavery in Egypt. All the nations of the world will stand amazed at what the Lord will do for you. They will be embarrassed that their power is so insignificant. They will stand in silent awe, deaf to everything around them." Micah 7:15-16
"See, God has come to save me. I will trust in Him and not be afraid. The Lord God is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. With joy you will drink deeply from the fountain of salvation. In that wonderful day you will sing: Thank the Lord. Praise His name. Tell the world what He has done. Oh, how mighty He is. Sing to the Lord, for He has done wonderful things. Make known His praise around the world." Isaiah 12:2-5
