happy

Blessed Lord God,

I love You. Immensely. Freely. Wildly.

(6:24 a.m.)

And here I get to be blessed beyond belief. Searching “freely in love with God” I find Ephesians 3:17-19, Romans 8:39 and a song.

Just because my first inclination was to express my love for You, I am quite appropriately singing a song from years past.

♪Wake up in the morning with the sunshine in your eyes And the smell of flowers blooming fills the air Your mind is filled with the thoughts of a certain SomeOne that You love Your life is filled with joy when He is there

♪Love Can Make You Happy if you find SomeOne who cares To give a life time to you and who has a love to share…♪

That’s YOU Dear Lord. You ARE love (1 John 4:8 and 16). Thank You that You are!

There is still so very much for me to learn about loving. You. Others. Myself. I look to You to teach me more of all You want me to know.

I ask (Matthew7:7a) that You would include me in the benefit and bounty of the apostle Paul’s letter to the believers in Ephesus. Strengthen me in my relationship with you and with others.

Paul praying, “that from His [the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth] glorious, unlimited resources He will empower you with inner strength through His Spirit. Then Christ will make His home in your hearts as you trust in Him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong” (Ephesians 3:15-17).

Oh, but he wasn’t done! “And may you have the power to understand as all people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God” (vs.18-19).

Because You ARE love, I can interchange just one important word in the song and take You with me through it all. ♪God can make you happy…♪ This I truly believe!

Use me today. Exactly as You know is best. Loving as You would have me love. Freely. Immensely. Wildly. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
