Meditating on God’s love will fill you to the fullness of God.
Day 43
I thank you, O God, that you are with me in the fatherly Abba love that DELIGHTS IN ME.
You find pleasure in me as I walk in your holy ways. As a believer in Jesus, I am clothed with him, justified and sanctified in him, and therefore you can delight in me even as you delight in Jesus.
I praise you, Lord, that I am your beloved child, with whom you are well pleased, in whom your soul delights, over whom you rejoice with singing. (Matthew 3:17; Isaiah 42:1; Zephaniah 3:17 personalized)
Day 44
I thank you, O God, that you are with me in the fatherly Abba love that wants me to CARRY YOUR IDENTITY.
When you infused your identity into my human nature, it was an act of love. In love, you want to pass your glory on to me and see your own glory in me.
I praise you, Lord, that you created me in your own image; in the image of God you created me. I can put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. I can be holy, for you are holy. Someday I will be perfect, as my heavenly Father is perfect (Genesis 1:27; Ephesians 4:24; 1 Peter 1:16; Matthew 5:48 personalized)
Day 45
I thank you, O God, that you are with me in the fatherly Abba love that DISCIPLINES ME.
In love you seek my good even when it requires temporarily bringing me pain. You know that temporary pain saves me from eternal pain, that some pain saves me from far greater pain, that much good can come from some bad. In love you discipline me with long-term wisdom.
I praise you, Lord, that you discipline me for my good, that I may share in your holiness. You are treating me as a beloved son. So I choose to endure hardship as discipline, to be subject to the Father of my spirit and live. (Hebrews 12:6, 7, 9, 10 personalized)
Day 46
I thank you, O God, that you are with me in the fatherly Abba love that PROTECTS ME.
You carefully watch over your children. You are my refuge, my shield, my fortress, my security. So I can trust in you and never fear.
Glory to you, Lord, for I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus my Lord. (Romans 8:38–39 personalized) You are faithful to strengthen me and protect me from the evil one. (2 Thessalonians 3:3 personalized)
Day 47
I thank you, O God, that you are with me in the fatherly Abba love that LEAVES ME YOUR INHERITANCE.
You want to give me all you own. As your child, I have a rightful claim to my heavenly Father’s kingdom and possessions, and you will ensure I receive what is rightfully mine.
I give joyful thanks to you, Father, for you have qualified me to share in the inheritance of your holy people in the kingdom of light. (Colossians 1:12 personalized) I praise you, heavenly Father, that all things are mine, whether the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are mine, and I am Christ’s, and Christ is God’s. (1 Corinthians 3:21–23 personalized)
Jeremiah 9:23–24: “Thus says the LORD: ‘Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the LORD.’” (ESV)
