Today’s Reflection:
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. James 1:17 NKJV

Heavenly Father, open our eyes to Your hugs, to let go of the briers and thorns that wound appreciating instead the beauty of flowers You give us. Help us to take captive our every  thought, passion,  emotion, to You and Your Word, rejecting all of Satan’s lies that are contrary to Your plans and purpose for our lives. Replace them with  Your Truth, Your Word. Reveal Your specific plan and purpose for each one of our lives. Fill us with Your perfect love and cast out all fear. Fill us with Your perfect peace, which keeps us calm in the midst of life’s storms, the world cannot understand or give. Fill us with Your long- suffering and patience so we can endure to the very end and obtain the crown of life. Help us walk in the Spirit, not in the flesh. May our face shine with joy from being with You. In Jesus’ Name Amen
