Sometimes we forget that God WANTS to bless us, heal us, bring us joy, and see our delight in the beauty He weaves around us each day. He loves us. He’s a good Father. He wants good for us.

In all of our mad striving and straining to be good enough, work hard enough, and do enough we can easily miss the blessings and beauty surrounding us. Of course there will be hard things, blindsiding things, and difficult things, but I have often found that in the midst of a very hard day that joy, miracles, and little, hidden delights are there, too. Jesus wants us to keep our eyes on Him in trust, our spirits open and seeking all that He is doing for us, in us, and through us as we make our way through the gift of another day.

Life is a gift, another day is a miracle. I will be another year older tomorrow and I truly want to rejoice and be glad in every day that He gives me to seek Him, find Him, and discover the miracles that He weaves into each day that He gives me. I don’t have to earn blessings and favor. Neither do you.

What an awesome God He is. You are loved. Peace be with you.

Psalm 118:24 NLT “This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.”
