Since then I've added a few more pockets to that list. Most recently the first stall in the grocery pickup area. Theres a little green spot of ground cover that I like. Green, thriving surrounded by concrete. The other morning it was still covered in frost. I like to get out and put my feet up against the curb and I do this thing...
I declare His goodness.
Sometimes, if no one else is there, out loud. Sometimes whispered under my breath. Sometimes in my mind.
"He is my Father" "He is good." "Jesus loves me." "I know in whom I trust" "He lives."
Whatever I need that day.
By declaring His goodness.... 30,000 feet perspective magically enters into my ironically task oriented feet. Although I'm standing on the ground, my soul gets a peek through the clouds at His greatness and unfolding all encompassing love and hand in my life. MY LIFE! ME! One person. One child. One daughter.
"I am who He says I am." "He is who He says He is."
Declare it, out loud. Find pockets in your days that you decide to be still long enough to rise above the circumstance, above the hard, above the to do lists and disappointments and fears and doubts.
He will show up for you.
You are His child. you are His in every moment and every thing.
You.... are loved.
Love, Courtney |
