Day 18 "Heaven's Glow From You Abounds"
Heaven’s Glow
Happy Lord’s Day Beauties!
“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” Philippians 2:13 (NLT)
Have you ever witnessed someone moving in the gifts and talents God has given them? There’s an unmistakeable glow about them, right? You know this activity is what they were born to do - they’re fulfilling their God-given purpose.
My niece was a beautiful figure skater years ago. I remember a specific moment when I saw her round a corner on one foot, arms stretched out, confident smile beaming from her face, and I was completely mesmerized by it all. I’ll never forget what God whispered to my spirit, “what you’re seeing is Me.” He was right! What I witnessed was His beauty, His creativity, His strength. His Heavenly glow was being poured out through my niece.
Are you asking, “what does this have to do with serving God?” Great question. My niece won most of her competitions, and though just a young teenager, she would always give credit to God when interviewed by reporters. Her recognition of God working through her was publicized all around the world. Amazing!
Who do you know who glows with the inner workings of the Lord? Can you remember a specific time when you saw Jesus shining through them? Write down in your journal things that caught your attention and convinced you they were living for God’s glory. Selah.
What about you? Are you currently living your God-given purpose with the glow of Heaven pouring out for all to see? If not, let’s try to determine the reason. Do you know Jesus? Would you say you have an intimate relationship with Him? Are you grateful He gave up everything, even His life, for you which has caused you to fully surrender your life to Him? Are you willing to ask God to show you His desire for your life? When He shows you, are you ready to obey His will, no matter what it is and no matter the cost? Selah.
On this beautiful Lord’s Day, spend time with Jesus worshipping His greatness, and listening to Him as He speaks about your desires He’s placed in your heart. What does He say about connecting your passion with your purpose? Selah.
