It is not possible for me to treat someone better than I feel about them or have previously felt about them behind their back, especially if I’ve ever let those feelings spill out of my mouth to someone else. A judgmental attitude toward others, justified or not, keep us trapped in disappointment, hindering our ability to positively relate to them. How is it that I can see my own faults and still believe I can change yet withhold that same faith and grace toward someone else? This is wrong in every way. After all, in James 2:9 (NLT) we read: “If you favor some people over others, you are committing a sin. You are guilty of breaking the law”. Shall I judge myself or someone I like with greater mercy and favor than someone I don’t? God will not play along with that kind of hypocrisy. LORD of Love, in Your mercy, recalibrate my heart to Your Divine Will and Ways. Let Your forgiveness flow freely through me to others.
“This is the day that the LORD has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!” Psalm 118:24 ESV. The table is set for a brand-new day. Only God knows exactly what is already prepared for my arrival in it. I must now leave behind days gone by and ready myself for new insight, a higher life, and greater things. Am I up for what today will bring? Only the day will tell, but the One who provides it will also carry me through it. One thing is sure; I will walk upon on sacred footprints since the Alpha and Omega has already trod this moment in advance, sprinkling blessings and divine opportunities throughout. I must pay attention so I don’t miss a thing He has placed along the path. Lord God, Lover of My Soul, today is the day You have made; I am so good with that and already rejoicing in what is to unfold. Lift me in Your arms and carry me through with faith, joy, and purpose.
