Lamentations 3:22-24, It is because of the Lord's mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness. The Lord is my portion or share, says my living being (my inner self); therefore will I hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him. I love this passage of scripture because it reminds me that my God has set aside a portion, an inheritance for me. But how can we claim and lay hold of our portion if we do not know what rightfully belongs to us through the finished work of the cross?

You see, God in his loving-kindness and mercy saw us before we were ever knit together in our mother's womb. He looked ahead and knew every mistake we would make, every sin we would commit and each time we would miss the mark, and still, He laid out our portion, our inheritance for us to boldly & courageously lay hold of through and by faith!
Here are just a few examples of what our portion is:
-
Fear is not our portion... Courage & Sound-mind is our portion!
-
Sadness is not our portion... But joy overflowing is our portion!
-
Anxiety is not our portion... Peace is our portion!
-
Lack and not enough is not our portion... Prosperity, Wealth & Abundance is our portion!
Activate your faith today and begin to come into agreement with what God has already made available to you through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, declare what your portion is and lay hold of it by faith!
Love,

Psalm 118:23-24 captivates me! I love when I wake in the morning hearing His loving kindness ministering to my heart. I love that we serve a God that has given us the ability to choose, the question is, "What will we choose this day?" Psalm 118:23-24 in the Passion says, "The Lord himself is the one who has done this, and it's so AMAZING, so MARVELOUS to see! 24 This is the day of the Lord that brings GLADNESS and JOY, filling our hearts with glee." Don't you just love this passage of scripture...His promise to you and I!

A few Saturdays ago I woke up fairly early and went on my walk at the park. As I began to walk I asked the Lord to lead me by His Spirit, that I would pray according to His heart, not mine and His plan, not mine. I committed to just pray in the spirit knowing that the Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth and He would sound in me the profound and bottomless things of God according to 1 Corinthians 2:9. As I was finishing up my last mile I heard these words rise up in my spirit, "You have entered into a new season. It's a season of reaping because of the weeping." I recall thinking, "Was that me??" and then I heard it again, "A season of reaping because of the weeping!"

Did you know that you and I are called and commissioned by the word of God to be an "Agent of Unity?" Matthew 5:9 says "Blessed (enjoying enviable happiness with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor regardless of their outward condition) are the makers and maintainers of peace, for they shall be called the sons/daughters of God!" Unity in the Greek means to be united in soul, of one mind, one accord; to be co-spirited joined close together in tight identification. Peacemaker definition: A person who helps others solve a conflict and reach a peaceful solution; a person who tries to create harmony or make peace.
