Step Eleven Living In Conscious Awareness Of God’s Love For Me

Thursday March 24, 2022
 

Being conscious of who we are and our place in life is often considered to be “self-perception.”  We develop self-perception by noting how the important people in our lives interact with us.  If we grew up in a dysfunctional family, their skewed view of us may have warped our self-perception and our ability to see ourselves as God sees us.  God created us for a reason and has an amazing plan for our lives.  The Bible tells us God’s thoughts towards us cannot be numbered.  To be conscious of being loved, valued, and honoured as the person God created us to be will change the way we live our lives.  

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.  (Ephesians 3:16-19 NIV)
God cares about us and the things that matter to us.  The God who created the universe gazes on us with love and delight.  God wants us to know how precious we are to Him and to see ourselves in the light of His love.  The greatest demonstration of how precious we are to God is that Jesus gave His life that we might be reconciled to God and live with Him forever.  Are we living in conscious awareness of this great love? 

Reading and meditating on scripture each day informs us of all that God promises to be and do for us.  God's desire, through these daily spiritual exercises, is to confirm His heart of love for each of us. 

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, My desire is to know Your will for my life and have the power to carry it out.  I trust the plans You have prepared in advance for me to do and ask that You direct my steps in the way I should go.  Once again, I choose to surrender my will and my life to Your care and give myself wholeheartedly to obeying You in all I do.  Amen
