Fired Up

You were not blessed by accident.  You are not here by coincidence.  The fact that you are right where you are at this moment is not by chance.  There was divine planning that went into every piece of your being.  You are exactly where God wants you to be so for that reason alone, today should be the day that you rejoice with a mighty voice!  You were made on purpose and you were made with a purpose, so live your life with purpose and be a blessing on purpose.  Peace is on the horizon.

Good day to you all!  I want to encourage you to be in the mind frame of peace.  I want to encourage you to be in the mind frame of positive thoughts.  Your frame of mind will match the picture that it frames.

Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave.  Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the Lord.  Song of Solomon 8:6

The above scripture is one of my favorites because it captures in a real way how much God loves us.  The seal that is on the heart and the arm represents what we would call a tattoo.  God is telling us to tattoo His love upon us so that we will never forget how strong His love really is.  The verse even compares the intensity of God’s love to flashes of fire, which we would think of today as lightning.  There have been lightning strikes that have been recorded as having temperatures hotter than the surface of the sun.  A love that intense can sometimes be hard for us to imagine, but let that be a reason for you to smile today.  You are loved by a God that sits on high and looks down low, and He cares about every detail of your life.

Dear Reader I want you to get fired up about you.  God is fired up about you so there is no reason that you cannot be fired up about yourself.  Your imperfections are perfect in the eyes of the one that made you.  I know that sometimes it’s hard to get excited about ourselves, but I am here to tell you, that on this day you have a lot to be excited about.  There was no assembly line when it came to creating you.  You are a limited edition because when it  comes to you there is only one.  That makes you priceless.  When God made you He put His seal upon your heart so that the joy that feel will be a reminder that His love is as intense as the lightning that strikes.  Don’t let anyone tell you that you are out of place.  Don’t let anyone tell you that you are an outcast.  If they tell you that you are an outcast, you tell them that you embrace being an outcast because Jesus cast out all fear, all sin, and all doubt.  Dear Reader sometimes we have to get fired up about ourselves.  Be excited, your best has yet to come.

You are beautiful, loved, and blessed
