A what am I thankful for day.
A relationship day.
A generosity day.
An everything we need is in the Body of Christ day.
As I look through this, more and more I think of you as I pray. I see the authority and the trust that YHWH has placed on you and the importance of relying on the Holy Spirit. As I pray I am thankful for you and I am reminded to remind you to focus primarily on those things that you are thankful for — knowing that this focus will keep your head above the toxicity of the whirling fray, enhancing your ability to discern and curbing any desire to delay or procrastinate.
From here I see that this is a day where we look to those relationships closest to us — doing a quick inventory to see who might need our attention and doing a quick assessment around which relationships are efficient and productive, leading to growth.
I see the parable of the sower. We are to sow seed daily — but intentionally — knowing that all ground is not the same.
Some ground is just a throw away — wasteful — wayside.
Some ground is rocky. You plant seed there, but the ground is hard and though it seems to want to be productive it fights the seed and no real fruit grows.
Some ground is thorny, which means that the people you are sowing into are running with people who will steal the fruit from the seed that you have sown.
And then there is the good ground — which is the ground that produces 30, 60, and 100 fold.
These are the relationships you can go to over and over again to move your family forward and bless many others along the way.
Today is also a generosity day. As many of us have been trained by tough love, we have also been burned by the idea that “no good deed goes unpunished.” Still, we must take a day in our cycle of nine to purposely be generous — imitating our Yah — as He has been so generous to us.
And finally, in the cycle of 12 — everything we need is in the Body of Christ.
Here I have learned that the Body of Christ does not mean just people who go to church. His Body is made up of those who bear fruit and live in the land of creative courage, pursuing their crowned purpose.
You will know them by their fearless and generous approach to life.
It is a joy to pray for you each and every day. I am starting to feel what Paul felt when he would write his letters to the churches — sensing the presence of Jesus as he allowed himself to be used to deliver His words.
