I recently read a quote that says, âEvery sunrise is a blessing, a gift just for today. Embrace it and enjoy it before it fades away.â Too often, we take the little things for granted. The gift of a new day, the ability to move, the health we haveâŚThese are blessings from above.
We donât need to carry so much stress. We can choose instead to remember the Father of Lights and acknowledge the gifts He is giving us today. I invite you to take a moment to look for the fingerprints of GodâHis love, His mercy, and His divinityâsurrounding you right now. âď¸
Some days are harder than others, but no matter what kind of day weâre having, we are invited to slow down, to focus on today, to take life one moment at a time. We can choose to be present, to ask God to help us become more aware of our blessings, and to fill our hearts with peace, love, and light. These are gifts He is always willing to give when we come to Him with a sincere heart.
God wants us to practice being present. In Matthew 6:34 we read: âTake therefore no thought for the morrow⌠Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.â He is gently reminding us to focus on the gift of this day. As His children, He allows us to choose where we place our attention and how we respond.
So we get to decide:
Do we want to invite the Spirit into this moment?
Do we want to acknowledge the gifts we have right nowâthe chance to live, love, smile, and feel peace?
There will never be another day exactly like today. We can choose to make it meaningful by focusing on what is truly important and on what draws us closer to God and His divine light.đ
Sometimes we fall into patterns of seeing life the same old way. But what if today, we choose to see the beauty around us? What if we view our day as filled with sacred sights and sounds? Even the messy, stressful, or heavy moments can become holy moments when we look for God in them.
James 1:17 teaches: âEvery good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights.â
He is the giver of all good gifts. As we choose to see His light, we will feel Him more deeply. He loves us and wants our hearts lifted above the noise of the world. He wants us to trust Himâthe Father of our souls. He knows you. He LOVES you. He has a perfect plan for you. And even when life feels overwhelming, remember: You can do all things with His help. As you trust Him and come to Him, His light will increase in your life.
So today, letâs look upâto the Father of Lightsâso He can fill us with more light. His light is already within us, but it is up to us to fill our hearts and homes with even more of His presence.đŤ
Letâs not allow the adversary to pull us down. We are stronger than we realize because our strength comes from God. We can let go of what burdens us and remember that ALL things are under His control. We can reject negativity through prayer and by filling our minds and spirits with uplifting things.
So change things up today:
⢠Choose Christian music to lift your heart.
⢠Choose messages of light to inspire you.
⢠Choose to see the good in your journey.
⢠Choose to come closer to Christ.
He invites us to feel His love in the simple, daily moments of life. Enjoy them. Let your heart be peaceful. Let His light transform your day.
As we enter this Christmas season, I invite you to look for the lightâfor the gifts God gives you daily. Be a light to others and consciously choose to be filled with love, light, and peace, moment by moment. Allow God to strengthen you, help you reject negativity, and fill you with the peace that only He can offer.
I also want to challenge you to think of a gift you can give to God this season. Ask yourself:
âWhat is one gift I can offer Him this week?â
I pray that as you ask this question, He will inspire your heart and bless you with greater gratitude, abundance, and joy. That you may hear directly from Him where He wants you to focus your energy. Whom He needs you to help etc. â¤ď¸
And tonight in class, I invite you to be fully present. Enjoy the gift of moving your body and strengthening yourself physically, mentally, and spiritually. If youâve been feeling stressed or overwhelmed, come. Let this time bless you. Come ready for a peaceful meditation that will re-center and re-focus you on what truly matters. This is the season when we need it most.
Love you all! Canât wait to do this together! đ
Love,
Lili đ¸
