The devil is the maker of lies. He knows what bothers us. What our insecurities are. He loves to make us feel we aren’t good enough. But we are enough and we serve a God that says we are.

We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it! Ephesians 2:10 (TPT)

God’s love never fails us. No matter what we face, He never will. He loves us forever.

So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. I’m convinced that his love will triumph over death, life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One! Romans 8:38-39 (TPT)

 

Just because things aren’t going the way you planned, doesn’t mean they aren’t going the way they should. God loves us more than we can fathom. He will change our plans to keep us protected and on the path He has planned. Don’t get caught up in the temporary. His plans are always better than any we could ever make.

But as the Scriptures say, “No one has ever seen, no one has ever heard, no one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 (ERV)

Do not be ashamed of the scars that life has given you. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed, you endured the pain and God has healed you.

He heals the wounds of every shattered heart. Psalm 147:3 (TPT)

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5 (NIV)

Life brings slammed doors, road blocks and things that don’t work out. Doesn’t always feel like it, but God is protecting us. As I look back on my life He has opened bigger doors, shown me a better way and always worked things out. God will work it out for you. Trust the journey.

Jehovah himself will watch over you; he’s always at your side to shelter you safely in his presence. He’s protecting you from all danger both day and night. He will keep you from every form of evil or calamity as he continually watches over you.You will be guarded by God himself. You will be safe when you leave your home and safely you will return. He will protect you now, and he’ll protect you forevermore! Psalm 121:5-8 (TPT)
