Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. The morning is cool and rainy but the warmth of the Living God is everywhere…rain or shine. What a Blessing it is to spend time in the Presence of the Most High any time I want to! No matter the condition of my Heart, no matter what kind of mood I’m in (or not), no matter my trials, no matter how many times I fall, my God is always Ready and waiting for me any time I take the time to meet with Him. What a friend I have in Jesus!

God doesn’t scrutinize the words I use when I Speak to Him…they wouldn’t matter anyway because He sees what’s within my Heart without speaking a word and He loves me anyway.

God doesn’t whine about how much time I give Him, or remind me of when I disappoint Him if I’m busy and I don’t take the time for Him that I should. He’s the Bright Morning Star and He’s always there 24/7 ready to open His arms to this child of His. He Loves me anyway.

God is always ready to Guide me in the Right Direction when I get off track just like a Shepherd does his sheep. He has limitless patience with me and He doesn’t keep reminding me that I’ve gone down the wrong path in life over and over again. He loves me anyway.

God is all I ever need, the One who has my Heart, the One who “loves me anyway”, the One who will never leave me nor forsake me…but there IS a catch. I’m supposed to strive to be a Reflection of Him and I’m supposed to extend the same things to other people that He has extended to me! I’m supposed to be ready to listen, to Love, to Forgive, and to guide others unconditionally too! I’m supposed to love them anyway. If not for the example that God sets before me, and my desire to please Him because of it, none of this would be possible.

I’m filled with an attitude of Gratitude this morning for all that He is and all that He does for me. I’m Working hard day in and day out to be the very best Reflection of Him that I can be, in all that I do and all that I am, until He calls me Home…rain or shine.

How about you?
