PROMISE #186 - JULY 5

For the LORD will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance. ~Psalm 94:14

My children are my children for life. Whatever they do, they are still my kids. Parents may not always agree with their children’s choices, but that doesn’t change the fact that they still belong to the family. The promise for today is a good reminder that we will never be rejected by the Lord because He has made us His own inheritance. His special possession.

Sometimes when we relate to God, it is as if we are picking the petals off of a flower, all the while saying, "He loves me, He loves me not." Many times we think that we are accepted by Him because of what we do, not who we are.

“I am thankful to God that His love for me is not performance-based but based on the once and for all finished work of Jesus Christ. When I received Christ, I became a part of the Father's amazing family! I belong to a family that my Heavenly Dad has promised to never forsake.

Today I pray that we all rest in the amazing truth that we are safe and secure in our Father’s love for us. He will not leave us or forsake us... EVER! We are included in His wonderful family.

Prayer:

Thank You, Father, that You have promised that You will never leave me or forsake me. I pray that Your love would consume every fear of abandonment I carry inside my heart so that I can truly rest, knowing that there is absolutely nothing in all of creation that can separate me from Your love in Christ.

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
