“And we all, who with unveiled faces
contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with
ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3:18
Important:
We need to understand that what you see or how others
see you
is not as important as how God sees you.
(Pastor Joseph Prince)
This devotional has been a real blessing to me. These are my personal notes that I made after
reading Day 33.
“Lord,
in the last 6-7 years, your Word and Your love for me had been such a redeeming
force in and for my life. I have learned so much about Your grace, Your compassion
and Your attitude of “no condemnation”.
I
have been freed from “bad thinking” that was instill in me as I grew up. Unfortunately at times, some people have focused on my faults. But, You do not see my faults, my
short-comings. You see me through Your grace and that transforms me on a daily
basis.
Condemnation
over my past mistakes has been exchanged for grace and cleansed by the precious
blood of Jesus.
Daily
my life is changed and sustained by Your grace. My life is really going from
glory to glory.
I
still want people to love and respect me. But, if that does not always happen, I
know You always love me. And that is all that matters. That has liberated from
seeking the approval of man.
Every
day, I can rise-up and know that Your glory is upon me (Isaiah 60:1). I no
longer need to work for Your approval, it’s just there. In verse 2b says: “...but the Lord rises upon you and His glory appears over you.”
You
bestow on me the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and You make beauty out
of the ashes of my life. (Isaiah 61:3)
Please continue to daily fill my spirit with Your Word, Your
mercy, Your peace and Your love.
Thank You Lord, for in You, I have an abundant life. Serving You is indeed
a privilege. Amen!
