TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 2012 -- MY LIFE OF BEAUTY AND VALUE

My life is of great beauty and infinite value.  God has a plan for my life that is meaningful, purposeful and joyful.  There is a work for me to do today that will bless others and give me deep satisfaction.


The LORD your God is with you; his power gives you victory. The LORD will take delight in you, and in his love he will give you new life.  He will sing and be joyful over you.  God says:  I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in.    (From Zephaniah 3, Jeremiah 29, Ephesians 2)

God, you have made in love and beauty.  I believe you created me to accomplish good things today and every day of my life.  I choose for your plans today.  Use me today for your purposes.  Show the world your love and kindness through me.  Make my life useful for your Kingdom today.  I choose to let you make alive in me the truth that you delight in me and that you sing over me with joy.  I choose to let you make a new way of living in me, particularly where character defects have previously torn me down. I believe you are offering me a life of meaning and purpose today, with a work to do that will bless others and give me deep satisfaction.  I will work and trust you to make me fruitful in my labour.
